• Abstract summary: We propose an agency-driven framework for low-resource harmful meme detection. We first retrieve relative memes with annotations to leverage label information as auxiliary signals for the LMM agent. We elicit knowledge-revising behavior within the LMM agent to derive well-generalized insights into meme harmfulness.

• Abstract: The proliferation of Internet memes in the age of social media necessitates effective identification of harmful ones. Due to the dynamic nature of memes, existing data-driven models may struggle in low-resource scenarios where only a few labeled examples are available. In this paper, we propose an agency-driven framework for low-resource harmful meme detection, employing both outward and inward analysis with few-shot annotated samples. Inspired by the powerful capacity of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) on multimodal reasoning, we first retrieve relative memes with annotations to leverage label information as auxiliary signals for the LMM agent. Then, we elicit knowledge-revising behavior within the LMM agent to derive well-generalized insights into meme harmfulness. By combining these strategies, our approach enables dialectical reasoning over intricate and implicit harm-indicative patterns. Extensive experiments conducted on three meme datasets demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves superior performance than state-of-the-art methods on the low-resource harmful meme detection task.

  An increasing depth of parametric domain knowledge in large language models (LLMs) is fueling their rapid deployment in real-world applications. The recent discovery of named entities as adversarial examples in natural language processing tasks raises questions about their potential impact on the knowledge robustness of pre-trained and finetuned LLMs. We developed an embedding-space attack based on powerscaled distance-weighted sampling to assess the robustness of their biomedical knowledge.

We propose an explainable approach to detect harmful memes, achieved through reasoning over conflicting rationales from both harmless and harmful positions.
