Stick to What You Know: A Study of Knowledge-Aligned Supervised Fine-Tuning

Arthur Becker, Jakob Kemmler, David Thulke +3

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) trains a base language model to imitate target responses, and these targets may require knowledge the base model has not robustly internalized. We stud…

Listen to the Context: Towards Faithful Large Language Models for Retrieval Augmented Generation on Climate Questions

David Thulke, Jakob Kemmler, Christian Dugast +1

Large language models that use retrieval augmented generation have the potential to unlock valuable knowledge for researchers, policymakers, and the public by making long and techn…

Controllable Factuality in Document-Grounded Dialog Systems Using a Noisy Channel Model

Nico Daheim, David Thulke, Christian Dugast +1

In this work, we present a model for document-grounded response generation in dialog that is decomposed into two components according to Bayes theorem. One component is a tradition…
