The Finetuner's Fallacy: When to Pretrain with Your Finetuning Data
Christina Baek, Ricardo Pio Monti, David Schwab +31
Real-world model deployments demand strong performance on narrow domains where data is often scarce. Typically, practitioners finetune models to specialize them, but this risks ove…
BeyondWeb: Lessons from Scaling Synthetic Data for Trillion-scale Pretraining
DatologyAI, :, Pratyush Maini +28
Recent advances in large language model (LLM) pretraining have shown that simply scaling data quantity eventually leads to diminishing returns, hitting a data wall. In response, th…
Weight Ensembling Improves Reasoning in Language Models
Xingyu Dang, Christina Baek, Kaiyue Wen +2
We investigate a failure mode that arises during the training of reasoning models, where the diversity of generations begins to collapse, leading to suboptimal test-time scaling. N…
Context-Parametric Inversion: Why Instruction Finetuning Can Worsen Context Reliance
Sachin Goyal, Christina Baek, J. Zico Kolter +1
A standard practice when using large language models is for users to supplement their instruction with an input context containing new information for the model to process. However…
Why is SAM Robust to Label Noise?
Christina Baek, Zico Kolter, Aditi Raghunathan
Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) is most known for achieving state-of the-art performances on natural image and language tasks. However, its most pronounced improvements (of tens…
Predicting the Performance of Foundation Models via Agreement-on-the-Line
Rahul Saxena, Taeyoun Kim, Aman Mehra +3
Estimating the out-of-distribution performance in regimes where labels are scarce is critical to safely deploy foundation models. Recently, it was shown that ensembles of neural ne…
Test-Time Adaptation Induces Stronger Accuracy and Agreement-on-the-Line
Eungyeup Kim, Mingjie Sun, Christina Baek +2
Recently, Miller et al. (2021) and Baek et al. (2022) empirically demonstrated strong linear correlations between in-distribution (ID) versus out-of-distribution (OOD) accuracy and…
