List of accepted papers:

1.

Identifying and Mitigating Social Bias Knowledge in Language Models
Ruizhe Chen, Yichen Li, Jianfei Yang, Yang Feng, Joey Tianyi Zhou, Jian Wu, Zuozhu Liu

This paper introduces a novel debiasing framework that first identifies the encoding locations of biases within language models and then applies the Fairness-Stamp (FAST).

2.

On the Vulnerability of Text Sanitisation
Meng Tong, Kejiang Chen, Xiaojian Yuan, Jiayang Liu, Weiming Zhang, Nenghai Yu, Jie Zhang

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of text sanitisation by implementing theoretically optimal reconstruction attacks and deriving ASR bounds as benchmarks. Additionally, it proposes practical attacks that improve ASR by 46.4% over the state-of-the-art, highlighting overlooked risks in privacy protection.
