Collective Model Intelligence Requires Compatible Specialization
Jyothish Pari, Samy Jelassi, Pulkit Agrawal
In this work, we explore the limitations of combining models by averaging intermediate features, referred to as model merging, and propose a new direction for achieving collective…
Mixture of Parrots: Experts improve memorization more than reasoning
Samy Jelassi, Clara Mohri, David Brandfonbrener +7
The Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture enables a significant increase in the total number of model parameters with minimal computational overhead. However, it is not clear what…
Universal Length Generalization with Turing Programs
Kaiying Hou, David Brandfonbrener, Sham Kakade +2
Length generalization refers to the ability to extrapolate from short training sequences to long test sequences and is a challenge for current large language models. While prior wo…
How Does Overparameterization Affect Features?
Ahmet Cagri Duzgun, Samy Jelassi, Yuanzhi Li
Overparameterization, the condition where models have more parameters than necessary to fit their training loss, is a crucial factor for the success of deep learning. However, the…
Q-Probe: A Lightweight Approach to Reward Maximization for Language Models
Kenneth Li, Samy Jelassi, Hugh Zhang +3
We present an approach called Q-probing to adapt a pre-trained language model to maximize a task-specific reward function. At a high level, Q-probing sits between heavier approache…
Repeat After Me: Transformers are Better than State Space Models at Copying
Samy Jelassi, David Brandfonbrener, Sham M. Kakade +1
Transformers are the dominant architecture for sequence modeling, but there is growing interest in models that use a fixed-size latent state that does not depend on the sequence le…
