CreativityPrism: A Cross-Domain Evaluation Framework for Large Language Model Creativity

Zhaoyi Joey Hou, Bowei Alvin Zhang, Yining Lu +9

Creativity is often seen as a hallmark of human intelligence. While large language models(LLMs) are increasingly perceived as generating creative text, there is still no cross-doma…

Uncovering Cross-Objective Interference in Multi-Objective Alignment

Yining Lu, Meng Jiang

We study a persistent failure mode in multi-objective alignment for large language models (LLMs): training improves performance on only a subset of objectives while causing others…

Learning to Optimize Multi-Objective Alignment Through Dynamic Reward Weighting

Yining Lu, Zilong Wang, Shiyang Li +6

Prior work in multi-objective reinforcement learning typically uses linear reward scalarization with fixed weights, which provably fails to capture non-convex Pareto fronts and thu…

A Decentralized Retrieval Augmented Generation System with Source Reliabilities Secured on Blockchain

Yining Lu, Wenyi Tang, Max Johnson +2

Existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems typically use a centralized architecture, causing a high cost of data collection, integration, and management, as well as priv…

Optimizing Decomposition for Optimal Claim Verification

Yining Lu, Noah Ziems, Hy Dang +1

Current research on the \textit{Decompose-Then-Verify} paradigm for evaluating the factuality of long-form text typically treats decomposition and verification in isolation, overlo…

Benchmarking Language Model Creativity: A Case Study on Code Generation

Yining Lu, Dixuan Wang, Tianjian Li +4

As LLMs become increasingly prevalent, it is interesting to consider how ``creative'' these models can be. From cognitive science, creativity consists of at least two key character…
