“For voters opposed to Reform UK, tactical voting represents the most obvious counterstrategy – one of the explanations for the lopsided result in the Caerphilly byelection (which used FPTP). But to be effective, tactical voting requires clear information: voters must know which party has the best chance of defeating Reform UK in their own constituency."

Reform holds 11% lead over Plaid Cymru in Westminster election poll, as centre left vote fragments in Wales
Martin Shipton Reform UK has an 11 point lead over Plaid Cymru in the latest YouGov/Cardiff University opinion poll for Westminster voting intentions, as centre-left support becomes increasingly fragmented across multiple parties amid an increase in support for the Greens. The latest poll conducted by YouGov for Cardiff University shows Reform UK at 30%, while […]

Defending Diffusion Models Against Membership Inference Attacks via Higher-Order Langevin Dynamics
Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence applications have raised new data security concerns. This paper focuses on defending diffusion models against membership inference attacks. This type of attack occurs when the attacker can determine if a certain data point was used to train the model. Although diffusion models are intrinsically more resistant to membership inference attacks than other generative models, they are still susceptible. The defense proposed here utilizes criticall…

You Are What You Train: Effects of Data Composition on Training Context-aware Machine Translation Models
Achieving human-level translations requires leveraging context to ensure coherence and handle complex phenomena like pronoun disambiguation. Sparsity of contextually rich examples in the standard training data has been hypothesized as the reason for the difficulty of context utilization. In this work, we systematically validate this claim in both single- and multilingual settings by constructing training datasets with a controlled proportions of contextually relevant examples. We demonstrate a …
