Are you going to finish that? A Practical Study of the Partial Token Problem
Hao Xu, Alisa Liu, Jonathan Hayase +2
Language models (LMs) are trained over sequences of tokens, whereas users interact with LMs via text. This mismatch gives rise to the partial token problem, which occurs when a use…
Anchored Decoding: Provably Reducing Copyright Risk for Any Language Model
Jacqueline He, Jonathan Hayase, Wen-tau Yih +3
Language models (LMs) tend to memorize portions of their training data and emit verbatim spans. When the underlying sources are sensitive or copyright-protected, such reproduction…
Broken Tokens? Your Language Model can Secretly Handle Non-Canonical Tokenizations
Brian Siyuan Zheng, Alisa Liu, Orevaoghene Ahia +3
Modern tokenizers employ deterministic algorithms to map text into a single "canonical" token sequence, yet the same string can be encoded as many non-canonical tokenizations using…
Sampling from Your Language Model One Byte at a Time
Jonathan Hayase, Alisa Liu, Noah A. Smith +1
Tokenization is used almost universally by modern language models, enabling efficient text representation using multi-byte or multi-character tokens. However, prior work has shown…
SuperBPE: Space Travel for Language Models
Alisa Liu, Jonathan Hayase, Valentin Hofmann +3
The assumption across nearly all language model (LM) tokenization schemes is that tokens should be subwords, i.e., contained within word boundaries. While providing a seemingly rea…
Data Mixture Inference: What do BPE Tokenizers Reveal about their Training Data?
Jonathan Hayase, Alisa Liu, Yejin Choi +2
The pretraining data of today's strongest language models is opaque; in particular, little is known about the proportions of various domains or languages represented. In this work,…
Query-Based Adversarial Prompt Generation
Jonathan Hayase, Ema Borevkovic, Nicholas Carlini +2
Recent work has shown it is possible to construct adversarial examples that cause an aligned language model to emit harmful strings or perform harmful behavior. Existing attacks wo…
