Coresets Before Score Sets: Evaluation-Unsupervised Prompt Subset Selection for LLM Benchmarks

Jihan Yao, Gantavya Bhatt, Arnav Das +16

We study LLM benchmark coreset selection: selecting a small subset of prompts over multiple benchmarks whose induced model scores and rankings approximate those obtained from the f…

How Much Is a Dataset Worth? Scaling Laws, the Vendi Score, and Matrix Spectral Functions

Jeff A. Bilmes, Gantavya Bhatt, Arnav M. Das

Neural scaling laws appraise data through dataset size, while the Vendi Score uses quantum entropy to measure dataset value. We show both that common neural-scaling-law objectives…

How Many Images Does It Take? Estimating Imitation Thresholds in Text-to-Image Models

Sahil Verma, Royi Rassin, Arnav Das +6

Text-to-image models are trained using large datasets of image-text pairs collected from the internet. These datasets often include copyrighted and private images. Training models…

COBRA: COmBinatorial Retrieval Augmentation for Few-Shot Adaptation

Arnav M. Das, Gantavya Bhatt, Lilly Kumari +2

Retrieval augmentation, the practice of retrieving additional data from large auxiliary pools, has emerged as an effective technique for enhancing model performance in the low-data…

Effective Backdoor Mitigation in Vision-Language Models Depends on the Pre-training Objective

Sahil Verma, Gantavya Bhatt, Avi Schwarzschild +6

Despite the advanced capabilities of contemporary machine learning (ML) models, they remain vulnerable to adversarial and backdoor attacks. This vulnerability is particularly conce…

Comparing Bad Apples to Good Oranges: Aligning Large Language Models via Joint Preference Optimization

Hritik Bansal, Ashima Suvarna, Gantavya Bhatt +3

A common technique for aligning large language models (LLMs) relies on acquiring human preferences by comparing multiple generations conditioned on a fixed context. This method, ho…
