The CRINGE Loss: Learning what language not to model

Leonard Adolphs, Tianyu Gao, Jing Xu +3

Standard language model training employs gold human documents or human-human interaction data, and treats all training data as positive examples. Growing evidence shows that even w…

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Neural retrieval models have superseded classic bag-of-words methods such as BM25 as the retrieval framework of choice.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-…

Language Models that Seek for Knowledge: Modular Search & Generation for Dialogue and Prompt Completion

Kurt Shuster, Mojtaba Komeili, Leonard Adolphs +3

Language models (LMs) have recently been shown to generate more factual responses by employing modularity (Zhou et al., 2021) in combination with retrieval (Adolphs et al., 2021).…

Calibration of Machine Reading Systems at Scale

Shehzaad Dhuliawala, Leonard Adolphs, Rajarshi Das +1

In typical machine learning systems, an estimate of the probability of the prediction is used to assess the system's confidence in the prediction. This confidence measure is usuall…

Reason first, then respond: Modular Generation for Knowledge-infused Dialogue

Leonard Adolphs, Kurt Shuster, Jack Urbanek +2

Large language models can produce fluent dialogue but often hallucinate factual inaccuracies. While retrieval-augmented models help alleviate this issue, they still face a difficul…

Boosting Search Engines with Interactive Agents

Leonard Adolphs, Benjamin Boerschinger, Christian Buck +8

This paper presents first successful steps in designing search agents that learn meta-strategies for iterative query refinement in information-seeking tasks. Our approach uses mach…

How to Query Language Models?

Leonard Adolphs, Shehzaad Dhuliawala, Thomas Hofmann

Large pre-trained language models (LMs) are capable of not only recovering linguistic but also factual and commonsense knowledge. To access the knowledge stored in mask-based LMs,…

LeDeepChef: Deep Reinforcement Learning Agent for Families of Text-Based Games

Leonard Adolphs, Thomas Hofmann

While Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches lead to significant achievements in a variety of areas in recent history, natural language tasks remained mostly unaffected, due to the…

Adaptive norms for deep learning with regularized Newton methods

Jonas Kohler, Leonard Adolphs, Aurelien Lucchi

We investigate the use of regularized Newton methods with adaptive norms for optimizing neural networks. This approach can be seen as a second-order counterpart of adaptive gradien…

Local Saddle Point Optimization: A Curvature Exploitation Approach

Leonard Adolphs, Hadi Daneshmand, Aurelien Lucchi +1

Gradient-based optimization methods are the most popular choice for finding local optima for classical minimization and saddle point problems. Here, we highlight a systemic issue o…
