ConvApparel: A Benchmark Dataset and Validation Framework for User Simulators in Conversational Recommenders
Ofer Meshi, Krisztian Balog, Sally Goldman +5
The promise of LLM-based user simulators to improve conversational AI is hindered by a critical "realism gap," leading to systems that are optimized for simulated interactions, but…
Improving Neutral Point-of-View Generation with Data- and Parameter-Efficient RL
Jessica Hoffmann, Christiane Ahlheim, Zac Yu +8
The paper shows that parameter-efficient reinforcement learning (PE-RL) is a highly effective training regime to improve large language models' (LLMs) ability to answer queries on…
Parameter Efficient Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
Hakim Sidahmed, Samrat Phatale, Alex Hutcheson +16
While Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) effectively aligns pretrained Large Language and Vision-Language Models (LLMs, and VLMs) with human preferences, its computa…
Faithful Persona-based Conversational Dataset Generation with Large Language Models
Pegah Jandaghi, XiangHai Sheng, Xinyi Bai +2
High-quality conversational datasets are essential for developing AI models that can communicate with users. One way to foster deeper interactions between a chatbot and its user is…
Leveraging Large Language Models in Conversational Recommender Systems
Luke Friedman, Sameer Ahuja, David Allen +10
A Conversational Recommender System (CRS) offers increased transparency and control to users by enabling them to engage with the system through a real-time multi-turn dialogue. Rec…
Efficient and Private Federated Learning with Partially Trainable Networks
Hakim Sidahmed, Zheng Xu, Ankush Garg +2
Federated learning is used for decentralized training of machine learning models on a large number (millions) of edge mobile devices. It is challenging because mobile devices often…
Federated Reconstruction: Partially Local Federated Learning
Karan Singhal, Hakim Sidahmed, Zachary Garrett +3
Personalization methods in federated learning aim to balance the benefits of federated and local training for data availability, communication cost, and robustness to client hetero…
