NAACL 2022 Workshop on TrustNLP2022Recent large-scale natural language processing (NLP) systems use a pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM) on massive and diverse corpora as a headstart. In practice, the pre-trained model is adapted to a wide array of tasks via fine-tuning on task-specific datasets. LLMs, while effective, have been shown to memorize instances of training data thereby potentially revealing private information processed during

2022Humans can perceive multiple expressions, each one with varying intensity, in the picture of a face. We propose a methodology for collecting and modeling multidimensional modulated expression annotations from human annotators. Our data reveals that the perception of some expressions can be quite different across observers; thus, our model is designed to represent ambiguity alongside intensity. An empirical
