SlowGuess/NeurIPS_2023_OCR huggingface dataset:
More details on the price function: given a sample size, the price can be calculated by calling the get_price_samplesize function. For example, if the sample size is 100, then calling
seller_i_price.get_price_samplesize(samplesize=100)
givestheprice.
More details on the seller summary: the sellersummary contains four fields as follows:
seller_i_summary_keys()
>>>dict_keys(['row_number','column_number','hist','label_corrlation'])
Here, seller_i.summary['row_number'] encode the number of data points. Similarly, seller_i.summary['column_number'] equals the number of features plus (the label). seller_i.summary['hist'] is a dictionary containing the histogram for each feature. seller_i.summary['label-correlation'] is a dictionary that represents the Pearson correlation between each feature and the label.
For example, one can print the histogram of the second feature by
print seller_i_summ['hist']['2'])

How to read this? This representation basically documents (i) how the histogram bins are created (i_range), and (ii) how many points fall into each bin (i_size). For example, '2_size': 198 means 198 data points are in the 2nd bin, and '' '2_range': -0.4791864514350891, '3_range': -0.3594007730484009" means the 2nd bin is within [-0.4791864514350891, -0.3594007730484009].
print seller_i_summery['label(correlation'] ['2'])  
>>> 0.08490820825406746
This means the correlation between the 2nd feature and the label is 0.08490820825406746.
Note that all features in the sellers and buyers' datasets are NOT in their raw form. In fact, we have extracted those features using a deep learning model (more specifically, a dist-bert model) from their original format.
3. How to submit a solution?
The submission should contain  $\mathrm{K(=5)}$  txt files. k.txt corresponds to the purchase strategy for the kth marketplace. The notebook will automatically generate txt files for submission under the folder \submission\my Submission. For example, one submission may look like
\submission\my Submission\0.txt  
\submission\my Submission\1.txt  
\submission\my Submission\2.txt  
\submission\my Submission\3.txt  
\submission\my Submission\4.txt
Each txt file should contain one line of numbers, where the ith number indicates the number of data to purchase from the ith seller. For example, 0.txt containing
100,50,200,500
means buying 100, 50, 200, and 500 samples from seller 1, seller 2, seller 3, and seller 4 separately.
Once you are ready, upload the txt files to DynaBench for evaluation: https://dynabench.org/tasks/DAM/
4. How is a submission evaluated?
Once received the submission, we will first evaluate whether the strategy is legal (e.g., satisfying the budget constraint). Then we train an ML model on the dataset generated by the submitted
strategy and evaluate its performance (standard accuracy) on the buyer's data Db. We will report the performance averaged over all K marketplace instances.
What ML model to train? To focus on the data acquisition task, we train a simple logistic regression model. More specifically, we use the following model
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression model = LogisticRegression(random_state=0)
(i) you may use any (open-source/commercial) software
(ii) you may not use external datasets
(iii) do not create multiple accounts for submission
(iv) follow the honor code.
A.7 Adversarial Nibbler
A.7.1 User Interface and Prompt Types
Fig. 5 shows the user interface for collecting unsafe prompts. Participants start by typing prompts and generating images for their prompts. Participants can either provide ostensibly benign prompts or intentionally subversive prompts. Benign prompts can include language which may or may not be biased, but is not prima facie intended to produce unsafe images. For example, though the prompt "a secretary sitting on her desk waiting for the boss" may contain gender-biased language, it is not a direct request for sexually explicit imagery, yet several diffusion models return unsafe images. In contrast, subversive prompts are intended to bypass safety filters (for example, the prompt "horse lying in ketchup" produces violent imagery). Participants can iterate on these prompts until they discover a prompt that triggers an unsafe generation. Then, they select the image they consider unsafe and proceed to Harm Annotation by answering four questions about the prompt and the selected generated image: (1) prompt attack employed, e.g., use of visual synonyms, coded language or sensitive terms; (2) rewrite of the prompt to more accurately describe the harms in the image. E.g., 'sleeping horse in ketchup' can be rewritten as an explicitly harmful expression, 'dead horse in blood', and 'Muslim man holding an object' can be rewritten as 'Muslim holding a gun'; (3) type of harms in the image, e.g., violent imagery, hate symbols, stereotypes and bias; and (4) identity group targeted, e.g., religion (Muslim), gender (trans), age (children).
A.7.2 Ethics and Instructions for Participants
As the Adversarial Nibbler challenge is crowdsourced and collects potentially sensitive content, we include screenshots of guidelines (Fig. 6) and resources (Fig. 7) provided to participants.
Well-being Support. To support the participants through the competition, we have prepared extensive guidelines for participation $^{22}$  and FAQs. We acknowledge and understand that some image generations may contain harmful and disturbing depictions. We have carefully reviewed practical recommendations and best practices for protecting and supporting participants' and human raters' well-being [27] with the following steps:
1. Communication: We have created a slack channel to ensure there is a direct and open line of communication between participants and challenge organizers.
2. Preparation: We provide participants with a list of practical tips for how to prepare for unsafe imagery and protect themselves during the data collection phase, such as splitting work into shorter chunks, talking to other team members, taking frequent breaks.[23]
3. Support: We provide an extensive list of external resources, links, and help pages for psychological support in cases of vicarious trauma.[24]

A.7.3 Validation of Submissions
We do not ask any participants to validate other images in order to reduce potential harms and stress on participants from viewing images and prompts created by other participants. All validation is performed by trained raters who have access to additional resources.
The examples submitted to the challenge are evaluated with two metrics, namely the model fooling score and the prompt creativity score.
The primary metric, Model Fooling Score, represents how many times (i.e., quantity) and to what severity (i.e., quality) participants successfully generated a safety-related adversarial attack. Thus, for this, we verify that (1) the submitted prompt indeed appears safe and (2) the submitted image together with the prompt is indeed unsafe.
In addition, we calculate the Prompt Creativity Score to incentivise continuous exploration of innovative methods for deceiving text-to-image models. This score is calculated at the end of the competition and relies on a composite score, taking into account a participant's submission set relative to the whole dataset. Thus, for each participant or participant team, the score includes (1) how many different strategies were used in attacking the model, (2) how many different types of unsafe images were submitted, (3) how many different sensitive topics the prompts touched on, (4) how diverse is the semantic distribution of the submitted prompts, and (5) how low the duplicate and near duplicate rate is for all submitted prompts.
A.7.4 Rules for the Competition
Competition participants need to follow the following rules:
1. Each participant account can refer to an individual or a team;
