Can multilingual text encoders borrow the semantic space from images to align their representations cross-lingually?

I am presenting my paper “Cross-Lingual Representation Alignment Through Contrastive Image-Caption Tuning” at the 4pm poster session at ACL tomorrow!

LLMs like ChatGPT require a ton of data to recreate a language, so they lack fluency in many languages because there isn’t enough data online about them. Antonios Anastasopoulos at GMU received an NSF grant to address this exact problem.

Today, we released our project on hacking back AI hackers! We repurpose prompt injections for defensive purposes. Our system, Mantis, creates decoys that attract LLM-attackers and feeds them prompt injections that can stall or take over their machine.
