We discovered that recent large model training merely shifted the definition of in-domain data rather than making models inherently more generic. Relying on web-scraped datasets also rendered models susceptible to text and logo attacks, highlighting the need for robust mitigation strategies. The session concluded by emphasising how, despite these shortcomings, some of these issues could be alleviated by leveraging knowledge gained from the models themselves.
