🚀Our BiAlign Workshop @NeurIPS2026 is out! Call for Papers on Dynamic Alignment in Human-AI Coupled Systems 👫<->🤖! AI is no longer a one-shot tool — it's a long-term participant in high-stakes domains. AI shapes human trust, values, and behavior; humans reshape AI's objectives in turn. 🔄 Yet mainstream alignment assumes static preferences, missing dynamic and interaction-driven risks: sycophancy, overreliance, value-action gap, and LLM dark patterns. 💡Building on our BiAlign Position Paper (arxiv.org/abs/2406.09264), our NeurIPS 2025 Tutorial (hai-alignment-course.github.…), and prior BiAlign Workshops (ICLR'25, CHI'26), this workshop moves toward Dynamic Alignment: alignment as continual learning, adaptation, and co-evolution in human-AI coupled systems. 🌐 Website: bialign-workshop.github.io/ 📩 OpenReview: openreview.net/group?id=Neur… 🤝 Join our Program Committee: bialign-workshop.github.io/n… ⏰ Deadline: Aug 29, 2026 (AoE) ← 4 weeks away! 📅 NeurIPS 2026 (Sydney & Virtual), Dec 11 or 12 💗Many thanks to our amazing co-organizers! --💫 Prof. Yoshua Bengio @Yoshua_Bengio, Dr. Divy Thakkar @divy93t, Profs. Dawn Song @dawnsongtweets, Joan Bruna, Nick Haber @nickhaber, and Gordon Dai @DaiGordon11945, Vivek Myers @vivek_myers. Wecome join us 🤗 — we'd love to see you in Sydney (or online)! Feel free to RT & share. Thanks 🙏! #NeurIPS2026 #HAIAlignment #BiAlign

Congrats all the co-authors on receiving CVPR'2024 best paper award on “Rich Human Feedback for Text-to-Image Generation” computer.org/press-room/cvpr… This work also paves way for how we can automate the eval of user interfaces or visual content in general arxiv.org/abs/2312.10175.

I’m delighted to share our new ICLR paper (arxiv.org/pdf/2311.18296.pdf) on perceptual group tokenizers (PGT), pursuing a novel architecture for vision encoding.

Multiple grouping heads are used to capture various grouping possibilities and each provides a context for feature refinement. The final output contains refined input and group tokens, and group assignments. Our model is competitive compared to SoTA vision architectures.

Our model also exhibits strong properties such as out-of-distribution adaptive computation, i.e. given an already trained model, we can use a different number of group tokens to perform inference at test time.
