Joint Optimization of Tool Creation and Use for Large Language Model Agents

Zhi Rui Tam, Chieh-Yen Lin, Yun-Nung Chen +2

Tool-augmented language models are bounded by the APIs humans bothered to write; existing tool-creation systems patch this by prompting a frozen LLM at inference time, leaving the…

Expected Harm: Rethinking Safety Evaluation of (Mis)Aligned LLMs

Yen-Shan Chen, Zhi Rui Tam, Cheng-Kuang Wu +1

Current evaluations of LLM safety predominantly rely on severity-based taxonomies to assess the harmfulness of models' responses to malicious queries. We argue that this formulatio…

Global PIQA: Evaluating Commonsense Reasoning Across 100+ Languages and Cultures

Tyler A. Chang, Catherine Arnett, Abdelrahman Sadallah +377

To date, there exist almost no culturally-specific evaluation benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) that cover a large number of languages and cultures. In this paper, we pre…
