CT: Counterfactual Causal Reasoning for Sentiment Shifts in Social-Media Conversation Trees
S M Rafiuddin, Atriya Sen
Sentiment in social-media threads does not only vary across posts; it shifts as users react to claims, corrections, evidence, and hostility within a branching reply tree. We study…
DiffusionGemma Technical Report
DiffusionGemma Team, Adrien Ali Taïga, James Assiene +41
We introduce DiffusionGemma, an experimental open-weight language model that uses discrete diffusion to generate text at exceptionally high speed. Rather than decoding one token at…
Gemma 4 Technical Report
Gemma Team, Sherif El Abd, Vaibhav Aggarwal +320
We introduce Gemma 4, a new generation of open-weight, natively multimodal language models in the Gemma model family. Designed to advance compute efficiency and reasoning, the Gemm…
FoodSense: A Multisensory Food Dataset and Benchmark for Predicting Taste, Smell, Texture, and Sound from Images
Sabab Ishraq, Aarushi Aarushi, Juncai Jiang +1
Humans routinely infer taste, smell, texture, and even sound from food images a phenomenon well studied in cognitive science. However, prior vision language research on food has fo…
Assay2Mol: large language model-based drug design using BioAssay context
Yifan Deng, Spencer S. Ericksen, Anthony Gitter
Scientific databases aggregate vast amounts of quantitative data alongside descriptive text. In biochemistry, molecule screening assays evaluate candidate molecules' functional res…
Gemma 3 Technical Report
Gemma Team, Aishwarya Kamath, Johan Ferret +209
We introduce Gemma 3, a multimodal addition to the Gemma family of lightweight open models, ranging in scale from 1 to 27 billion parameters. This version introduces vision underst…
Diversity-Rewarded CFG Distillation
Geoffrey Cideron, Andrea Agostinelli, Johan Ferret +5
Generative models are transforming creative domains such as music generation, with inference-time strategies like Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) playing a crucial role. However, CF…
Gemma 2: Improving Open Language Models at a Practical Size
Gemma Team, Morgane Riviere, Shreya Pathak +195
In this work, we introduce Gemma 2, a new addition to the Gemma family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models, ranging in scale from 2 billion to 27 billion parameters. In th…
BOND: Aligning LLMs with Best-of-N Distillation
Pier Giuseppe Sessa, Robert Dadashi, Léonard Hussenot +17
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a key driver of quality and safety in state-of-the-art large language models. Yet, a surprisingly simple and strong inference-t…
WARP: On the Benefits of Weight Averaged Rewarded Policies
Alexandre Ramé, Johan Ferret, Nino Vieillard +7
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) aligns large language models (LLMs) by encouraging their generations to have high rewards, using a reward model trained on human p…
Gemma: Open Models Based on Gemini Research and Technology
Gemma Team, Thomas Mesnard, Cassidy Hardin +105
This work introduces Gemma, a family of lightweight, state-of-the art open models built from the research and technology used to create Gemini models. Gemma models demonstrate stro…
RecurrentGemma: Moving Past Transformers for Efficient Open Language Models
Aleksandar Botev, Soham De, Samuel L Smith +59
We introduce RecurrentGemma, a family of open language models which uses Google's novel Griffin architecture. Griffin combines linear recurrences with local attention to achieve ex…
MusicRL: Aligning Music Generation to Human Preferences
Geoffrey Cideron, Sertan Girgin, Mauro Verzetti +11
We propose MusicRL, the first music generation system finetuned from human feedback. Appreciation of text-to-music models is particularly subjective since the concept of musicality…
Nash Learning from Human Feedback
Rémi Munos, Michal Valko, Daniele Calandriello +14
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as the main paradigm for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. Typically, RLHF involves the in…
Factually Consistent Summarization via Reinforcement Learning with Textual Entailment Feedback
Paul Roit, Johan Ferret, Lior Shani +16
Despite the seeming success of contemporary grounded text generation systems, they often tend to generate factually inconsistent text with respect to their input. This phenomenon i…
Get Back Here: Robust Imitation by Return-to-Distribution Planning
Geoffrey Cideron, Baruch Tabanpour, Sebastian Curi +6
We consider the Imitation Learning (IL) setup where expert data are not collected on the actual deployment environment but on a different version. To address the resulting distribu…
Speak, Read and Prompt: High-Fidelity Text-to-Speech with Minimal Supervision
Eugene Kharitonov, Damien Vincent, Zalán Borsos +6
We introduce SPEAR-TTS, a multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) system that can be trained with minimal supervision. By combining two types of discrete speech representations, we cast…
Decoding a Neural Retriever's Latent Space for Query Suggestion
Leonard Adolphs, Michelle Chen Huebscher, Christian Buck +4
Neural retrieval models have superseded classic bag-of-words methods such as BM25 as the retrieval framework of choice. However, neural systems lack the interpretability of bag-of-…
vec2text with Round-Trip Translations
Geoffrey Cideron, Sertan Girgin, Anton Raichuk +3
We investigate models that can generate arbitrary natural language text (e.g. all English sentences) from a bounded, convex and well-behaved control space. We call them universal v…
Learning in Mean Field Games: A Survey
Mathieu Laurière, Sarah Perrin, Julien Pérolat +5
Non-cooperative and cooperative games with a very large number of players have many applications but remain generally intractable when the number of players increases. Introduced b…
