PolyAlign: Conditional Human-Distribution Alignment
L. D. M. S. Sai Teja, Ufaq Khan, Sathira Silva +2
Post-training methods such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and preference optimization typically align language models toward a single global assistant behavior. While effective fo…
Scaling Monosemanticity: Extracting Interpretable Features from Claude 3 Sonnet
Adly Templeton, Tom Conerly, Jonathan Marcus +23
We demonstrate that sparse autoencoders can extract interpretable features from Claude 3 Sonnet, a production-scale language model, addressing the open question of whether dictiona…
InvestAlign: Overcoming Data Scarcity in Aligning Large Language Models with Investor Decision-Making Processes under Herd Behavior
Huisheng Wang, Zhuoshi Pan, Hangjing Zhang +3
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with investor decision-making processes under herd behavior is a critical challenge in behavioral finance, which grapples with a fundamental l…
Jailbreak Distillation: Renewable Safety Benchmarking
Jingyu Zhang, Ahmed Elgohary, Xiawei Wang +5
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly deployed in critical applications, raising urgent needs for robust safety benchmarking. We propose Jailbreak Distillation (JBDistill), a no…
Beyond Linear Steering: Unified Multi-Attribute Control for Language Models
Narmeen Oozeer, Luke Marks, Shreyans Jain +2
Controlling multiple behavioral attributes in large language models (LLMs) at inference time is a challenging problem due to interference between attributes and the limitations of…
Sleepless Nights, Sugary Days: Creating Synthetic Users with Health Conditions for Realistic Coaching Agent Interactions
Taedong Yun, Eric Yang, Mustafa Safdari +13
We present an end-to-end framework for generating synthetic users for evaluating interactive agents designed to encourage positive behavior changes, such as in health and lifestyle…
PERSONA: A Reproducible Testbed for Pluralistic Alignment
Louis Castricato, Nathan Lile, Rafael Rafailov +2
The rapid advancement of language models (LMs) necessitates robust alignment with diverse user values. However, current preference optimization approaches often fail to capture the…
Discovering Language Model Behaviors with Model-Written Evaluations
Ethan Perez, Sam Ringer, Kamilė Lukošiūtė +60
As language models (LMs) scale, they develop many novel behaviors, good and bad, exacerbating the need to evaluate how they behave. Prior work creates evaluations with crowdwork (w…
Constitutional AI: Harmlessness from AI Feedback
Yuntao Bai, Saurav Kadavath, Sandipan Kundu +48
As AI systems become more capable, we would like to enlist their help to supervise other AIs. We experiment with methods for training a harmless AI assistant through self-improveme…
Measuring Progress on Scalable Oversight for Large Language Models
Samuel R. Bowman, Jeeyoon Hyun, Ethan Perez +43
Developing safe and useful general-purpose AI systems will require us to make progress on scalable oversight: the problem of supervising systems that potentially outperform us on m…
In-context Learning and Induction Heads
Catherine Olsson, Nelson Elhage, Neel Nanda +23
"Induction heads" are attention heads that implement a simple algorithm to complete token sequences like [A][B] ... [A] -> [B]. In this work, we present preliminary and indirect ev…
Red Teaming Language Models to Reduce Harms: Methods, Scaling Behaviors, and Lessons Learned
Deep Ganguli, Liane Lovitt, Jackson Kernion +33
We describe our early efforts to red team language models in order to simultaneously discover, measure, and attempt to reduce their potentially harmful outputs. We make three main…
Language Models (Mostly) Know What They Know
Saurav Kadavath, Tom Conerly, Amanda Askell +33
We study whether language models can evaluate the validity of their own claims and predict which questions they will be able to answer correctly. We first show that larger models a…
Training a Helpful and Harmless Assistant with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
Yuntao Bai, Andy Jones, Kamal Ndousse +28
We apply preference modeling and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to finetune language models to act as helpful and harmless assistants. We find this alignment tra…
Predictability and Surprise in Large Generative Models
Deep Ganguli, Danny Hernandez, Liane Lovitt +27
Large-scale pre-training has recently emerged as a technique for creating capable, general purpose, generative models such as GPT-3, Megatron-Turing NLG, Gopher, and many others. I…
A General Language Assistant as a Laboratory for Alignment
Amanda Askell, Yuntao Bai, Anna Chen +19
Given the broad capabilities of large language models, it should be possible to work towards a general-purpose, text-based assistant that is aligned with human values, meaning that…
Scaling Scaling Laws with Board Games
Andy L. Jones
The largest experiments in machine learning now require resources far beyond the budget of all but a few institutions. Fortunately, it has recently been shown that the results of t…
