Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size
Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5
Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…
X-Guard: Multilingual Guard Agent for Content Moderation
Bibek Upadhayay, Vahid Behzadan, Ph. D
Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly become integral to numerous applications in critical domains where reliability is paramount. Despite significant advances in safety framew…
Multilingual Machine Translation with Open Large Language Models at Practical Scale: An Empirical Study
Menglong Cui, Pengzhi Gao, Wei Liu +2
Large language models (LLMs) have shown continuously improving multilingual capabilities, and even small-scale open-source models have demonstrated rapid performance enhancement. I…
Naive Bayes-based Context Extension for Large Language Models
Jianlin Su, Murtadha Ahmed, Wenbo +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising in-context learning abilities. However, conventional In-Context Learning (ICL) approaches are often impeded by length limitations…
Transformers Can Achieve Length Generalization But Not Robustly
Yongchao Zhou, Uri Alon, Xinyun Chen +3
Length generalization, defined as the ability to extrapolate from shorter training sequences to longer test ones, is a significant challenge for language models. This issue persist…
Assessing biomedical knowledge robustness in large language models by query-efficient sampling attacks
R. Patrick Xian, Alex J. Lee, Satvik Lolla +4
The increasing depth of parametric domain knowledge in large language models (LLMs) is fueling their rapid deployment in real-world applications. Understanding model vulnerabilitie…
Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Without Prompting

FreshLLMs: Refreshing Large Language Models with Search Engine Augmentation
Tu Vu, Mohit Iyyer, Xuezhi Wang +8
Most large language models (LLMs) are trained once and never updated; thus, they lack the ability to dynamically adapt to our ever-changing world. In this work, we perform a detail…
Large Language Models as Optimizers
Chengrun Yang, Xuezhi Wang, Yifeng Lu +4
Optimization is ubiquitous. While derivative-based algorithms have been powerful tools for various problems, the absence of gradient imposes challenges on many real-world applicati…
