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…
