When Should We Introduce Safety Interventions During Pretraining?

Dylan Sam, Sachin Goyal, Pratyush Maini +2

Prior work has shown that safety interventions applied during pretraining, such as removing and rephrasing harmful content, can substantially improve the robustness of the resultin…

Mode-Conditioning Unlocks Superior Test-Time Scaling

Chen Henry Wu, Sachin Goyal, Aditi Raghunathan

Parallel sampling promises substantial gains in test-time scaling, but its effectiveness is sharply limited by diversity collapse, where models concentrate on a few modes and repea…

Safety Pretraining: Toward the Next Generation of Safe AI

Pratyush Maini, Sachin Goyal, Dylan Sam +7

As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings, the risk of generating harmful or toxic content remains a central challenge. Post-hoc alignment m…

Overtrained Language Models Are Harder to Fine-Tune

Jacob Mitchell Springer, Sachin Goyal, Kaiyue Wen +5

Large language models are pre-trained on ever-growing token budgets under the assumption that better pre-training performance translates to improved downstream models. In this work…

Inference Optimal VLMs Need Fewer Visual Tokens and More Parameters

Kevin Y. Li, Sachin Goyal, Joao D. Semedo +1

Vision Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities across various visual understanding and reasoning tasks, driven by incorporating image representations into the…

Context-Parametric Inversion: Why Instruction Finetuning Can Worsen Context Reliance

Sachin Goyal, Christina Baek, J. Zico Kolter +1

A standard practice when using large language models is for users to supplement their instruction with an input context containing new information for the model to process. However…

Scaling Laws for Data Filtering -- Data Curation cannot be Compute Agnostic

Sachin Goyal, Pratyush Maini, Zachary C. Lipton +2

Vision-language models (VLMs) are trained for thousands of GPU hours on carefully curated web datasets. In recent times, data curation has gained prominence with several works deve…

Finetune like you pretrain: Improved finetuning of zero-shot vision models

Sachin Goyal, Ananya Kumar, Sankalp Garg +2

Finetuning image-text models such as CLIP achieves state-of-the-art accuracies on a variety of benchmarks. However, recent works like WiseFT (Wortsman et al., 2021) and LP-FT (Kuma…

Test-Time Adaptation via Conjugate Pseudo-labels

Sachin Goyal, Mingjie Sun, Aditi Raghunathan +1

Test-time adaptation (TTA) refers to adapting neural networks to distribution shifts, with access to only the unlabeled test samples from the new domain at test-time. Prior TTA met…

MET: Masked Encoding for Tabular Data

Kushal Majmundar, Sachin Goyal, Praneeth Netrapalli +1

We consider the task of self-supervised representation learning (SSL) for tabular data: tabular-SSL. Typical contrastive learning based SSL methods require instance-wise data augme…

PAL : Pretext-based Active Learning

Shubhang Bhatnagar, Sachin Goyal, Darshan Tank +1

The goal of pool-based active learning is to judiciously select a fixed-sized subset of unlabeled samples from a pool to query an oracle for their labels, in order to maximize the…

DROCC: Deep Robust One-Class Classification

Sachin Goyal, Aditi Raghunathan, Moksh Jain +2

Classical approaches for one-class problems such as one-class SVM and isolation forest require careful feature engineering when applied to structured domains like images. State-of-…
