Improving Mathematical Reasoning Capabilities in Large Language Models via Reasoning Process Error Classification

Runa Yoshida, Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida

The reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs) is a critical factor for practical LLM-based applications. To investigate the current reasoning capability of LLMs, we clarify…

CMDR: Contextual Multimodal Document Retrieval

Ryota Tanaka, Taku Hasegawa, Kyosuke Nishida

Multimodal document retrieval aims to retrieve relevant pages while preserving both textual and visual content from the original document. However, existing benchmarks primarily ev…

Debiasing Reward Models via Causally Motivated Inference-Time Intervention

Kazutoshi Shinoda, Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida

Reward models (RMs) play a central role in aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, RMs are often sensitive to spurious features such as response leng…

Responses Fall Short of Understanding: Revealing the Gap between Internal Representations and Responses in Visual Document Understanding

Haruka Kawasaki, Ryota Tanaka, Kyosuke Nishida

Visual document understanding (VDU) is a challenging task for large vision language models (LVLMs), requiring the integration of visual perception, text recognition, and reasoning…

Can LLMs Detect Their Own Hallucinations?

Sora Kadotani, Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida

Large language models (LLMs) can generate fluent responses, but sometimes hallucinate facts. In this paper, we investigate whether LLMs can detect their own hallucinations. We form…

Lossless Vocabulary Reduction for Auto-Regressive Language Models

Daiki Chijiwa, Taku Hasegawa, Kyosuke Nishida +4

Tokenization -- the process of decomposing a given text into a sequence of subwords called tokens -- is one of the key components in the development of language models. Particularl…

Let's Put Ourselves in Sally's Shoes: Shoes-of-Others Prefilling Improves Theory of Mind in Large Language Models

Kazutoshi Shinoda, Nobukatsu Hojo, Kyosuke Nishida +4

Recent studies have shown that Theory of Mind (ToM) in large language models (LLMs) has not reached human-level performance yet. Since fine-tuning LLMs on ToM datasets often degrad…

VDocRAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation over Visually-Rich Documents

Ryota Tanaka, Taichi Iki, Taku Hasegawa +3

We aim to develop a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework that answers questions over a corpus of visually-rich documents presented in mixed modalities (e.g., charts, tabl…

Portable Reward Tuning: Towards Reusable Fine-Tuning across Different Pretrained Models

Daiki Chijiwa, Taku Hasegawa, Kyosuke Nishida +2

While foundation models have been exploited for various expert tasks through fine-tuning, any foundation model will become outdated due to its old knowledge or limited capability.…

Wavelet-based Positional Representation for Long Context

Yui Oka, Taku Hasegawa, Kyosuke Nishida +1

In the realm of large-scale language models, a significant challenge arises when extrapolating sequences beyond the maximum allowable length. This is because the model's position e…

ToMATO: Verbalizing the Mental States of Role-Playing LLMs for Benchmarking Theory of Mind

Kazutoshi Shinoda, Nobukatsu Hojo, Kyosuke Nishida +5

Existing Theory of Mind (ToM) benchmarks diverge from real-world scenarios in three aspects: 1) they assess a limited range of mental states such as beliefs, 2) false beliefs are n…

Initialization of Large Language Models via Reparameterization to Mitigate Loss Spikes

Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida, Kuniko Saito

Loss spikes, a phenomenon in which the loss value diverges suddenly, is a fundamental issue in the pre-training of large language models. This paper supposes that the non-uniformit…

InstructDoc: A Dataset for Zero-Shot Generalization of Visual Document Understanding with Instructions

Ryota Tanaka, Taichi Iki, Kyosuke Nishida +2

We study the problem of completing various visual document understanding (VDU) tasks, e.g., question answering and information extraction, on real-world documents through human-wri…

Self-Adaptive Named Entity Recognition by Retrieving Unstructured Knowledge

Kosuke Nishida, Naoki Yoshinaga, Kyosuke Nishida

Although named entity recognition (NER) helps us to extract domain-specific entities from text (e.g., artists in the music domain), it is costly to create a large amount of trainin…

Improving Few-Shot Image Classification Using Machine- and User-Generated Natural Language Descriptions

Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida, Shuichi Nishioka

Humans can obtain the knowledge of novel visual concepts from language descriptions, and we thus use the few-shot image classification task to investigate whether a machine learnin…

Task-adaptive Pre-training of Language Models with Word Embedding Regularization

Kosuke Nishida, Kyosuke Nishida, Sen Yoshida

Pre-trained language models (PTLMs) acquire domain-independent linguistic knowledge through pre-training with massive textual resources. Additional pre-training is effective in ada…
