Rethinking Generative Image Pretraining: How Far Are We From Scaling Up Next-Pixel Prediction?
Xinchen Yan, Chen Liang, Lijun Yu +3
This paper investigates the scaling properties of autoregressive next-pixel prediction, a simple, end-to-end yet under-explored framework for unified vision models. Starting with i…
Long-form factuality in large language models
Jerry Wei, Chengrun Yang, Xinying Song +9
Large language models (LLMs) often generate content that contains factual errors when responding to fact-seeking prompts on open-ended topics. To benchmark a model's long-form fact…
Simple synthetic data reduces sycophancy in large language models
Jerry Wei, Da Huang, Yifeng Lu +2
Sycophancy is an undesirable behavior where models tailor their responses to follow a human user's view even when that view is not objectively correct (e.g., adapting liberal views…
Brainformers: Trading Simplicity for Efficiency
Yanqi Zhou, Nan Du, Yanping Huang +12
Transformers are central to recent successes in natural language processing and computer vision. Transformers have a mostly uniform backbone where layers alternate between feed-for…
DoReMi: Optimizing Data Mixtures Speeds Up Language Model Pretraining
Sang Michael Xie, Hieu Pham, Xuanyi Dong +7
The mixture proportions of pretraining data domains (e.g., Wikipedia, books, web text) greatly affect language model (LM) performance. In this paper, we propose Domain Reweighting…
Symbol tuning improves in-context learning in language models
Jerry Wei, Le Hou, Andrew Lampinen +8
We present symbol tuning - finetuning language models on in-context input-label pairs where natural language labels (e.g., "positive/negative sentiment") are replaced with arbitrar…
PyGlove: Efficiently Exchanging ML Ideas as Code
Daiyi Peng, Xuanyi Dong, Esteban Real +2
The increasing complexity and scale of machine learning (ML) has led to the need for more efficient collaboration among multiple teams. For example, when a research team invents a…
Symbolic Discovery of Optimization Algorithms
Xiangning Chen, Chen Liang, Da Huang +9
We present a method to formulate algorithm discovery as program search, and apply it to discover optimization algorithms for deep neural network training. We leverage efficient sea…
TabNAS: Rejection Sampling for Neural Architecture Search on Tabular Datasets
Chengrun Yang, Gabriel Bender, Hanxiao Liu +5
The best neural architecture for a given machine learning problem depends on many factors: not only the complexity and structure of the dataset, but also on resource constraints in…
Mixture-of-Experts with Expert Choice Routing
Yanqi Zhou, Tao Lei, Hanxiao Liu +7
Sparsely-activated Mixture-of-experts (MoE) models allow the number of parameters to greatly increase while keeping the amount of computation for a given token or a given sample un…
Program Synthesis with Large Language Models
Jacob Austin, Augustus Odena, Maxwell Nye +8
This paper explores the limits of the current generation of large language models for program synthesis in general purpose programming languages. We evaluate a collection of such m…
SpeechStew: Simply Mix All Available Speech Recognition Data to Train One Large Neural Network
William Chan, Daniel Park, Chris Lee +3
We present SpeechStew, a speech recognition model that is trained on a combination of various publicly available speech recognition datasets: AMI, Broadcast News, Common Voice, Lib…
Carbon Emissions and Large Neural Network Training
David Patterson, Joseph Gonzalez, Quoc Le +6
The computation demand for machine learning (ML) has grown rapidly recently, which comes with a number of costs. Estimating the energy cost helps measure its environmental impact a…
EfficientNetV2: Smaller Models and Faster Training
Mingxing Tan, Quoc V. Le
This paper introduces EfficientNetV2, a new family of convolutional networks that have faster training speed and better parameter efficiency than previous models. To develop this f…
PyGlove: Symbolic Programming for Automated Machine Learning
Daiyi Peng, Xuanyi Dong, Esteban Real +7
Neural networks are sensitive to hyper-parameter and architecture choices. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is a promising paradigm for automating these choices. Current ML soft…
