Training Language Models on the Knowledge Graph: Insights on Hallucinations and Their Detectability

Jiri Hron, Laura Culp, Gamaleldin Elsayed +28

While many capabilities of language models (LMs) improve with increased training budget, the influence of scale on hallucinations is not yet fully understood. Hallucinations come i…

Understanding Optimal Feature Transfer via a Fine-Grained Bias-Variance Analysis

Yufan Li, Subhabrata Sen, Ben Adlam

In the transfer learning paradigm models learn useful representations (or features) during a data-rich pretraining stage, and then use the pretrained representation to improve mode…

Out of the Ordinary: Spectrally Adapting Regression for Covariate Shift

Benjamin Eyre, Elliot Creager, David Madras +2

Designing deep neural network classifiers that perform robustly on distributions differing from the available training data is an active area of machine learning research. However,…

Beyond Human Data: Scaling Self-Training for Problem-Solving with Language Models

Avi Singh, John D. Co-Reyes, Rishabh Agarwal +38

Fine-tuning language models~(LMs) on human-generated data remains a prevalent practice. However, the performance of such models is often limited by the quantity and diversity of hi…

Frontier Language Models are not Robust to Adversarial Arithmetic, or "What do I need to say so you agree 2+2=5?

C. Daniel Freeman, Laura Culp, Aaron Parisi +27

We introduce and study the problem of adversarial arithmetic, which provides a simple yet challenging testbed for language model alignment. This problem is comprised of arithmetic…

Small-scale proxies for large-scale Transformer training instabilities

Mitchell Wortsman, Peter J. Liu, Lechao Xiao +13

Teams that have trained large Transformer-based models have reported training instabilities at large scale that did not appear when training with the same hyperparameters at smalle…
