In this talk\, I will focus on three recent resear ch advancements that collectively advance these dimensions\, offering a co mprehensive approach to building trustworthy foundation models. For benchm arking\, I will introduce CounterAnimal\, a dataset designed to systematic ally evaluate CLIP’s… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250715T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250715T123000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250704T223309Z LOCATION:UBC Vancouver Campus\, Fried Kaiser (KAIS) building\, Room 2020/20 30\, 2332 Main Mall SUMMARY:Exploring Trustworthy Foundation Models: Benchmarking\, Finetuning and Reasoning - Bo Han\, Associate Professor\, Hong Kong Baptist Universit y TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/event/exploring-trustworthy-foundation-models-benc hmarking-finetuning-and-reasoning-bo-han END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
