RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments

Zhiyuan Zeng, Hamish Ivison, Yiping Wang +14

We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide alg…

Precise Information Control in Long-Form Text Generation

Jacqueline He, Howard Yen, Margaret Li +7

A central challenge in language models (LMs) is faithfulness hallucination: the generation of information unsubstantiated by input context. To study this problem, we propose Precis…

EvalTree: Profiling Language Model Weaknesses via Hierarchical Capability Trees

Zhiyuan Zeng, Yizhong Wang, Hannaneh Hajishirzi +1

An ideal model evaluation should achieve two goals: identifying where the model fails and providing actionable improvement guidance. Toward these goals for language model (LM) eval…

Exploring the Benefit of Activation Sparsity in Pre-training

Zhengyan Zhang, Chaojun Xiao, Qiujieli Qin +7

Pre-trained Transformers inherently possess the characteristic of sparse activation, where only a small fraction of the neurons are activated for each token. While sparse activatio…

Evaluating Large Language Models at Evaluating Instruction Following

Zhiyuan Zeng, Jiatong Yu, Tianyu Gao +3

As research in large language models (LLMs) continues to accelerate, LLM-based evaluation has emerged as a scalable and cost-effective alternative to human evaluations for comparin…

Sheared LLaMA: Accelerating Language Model Pre-training via Structured Pruning

Mengzhou Xia, Tianyu Gao, Zhiyuan Zeng +1

The popularity of LLaMA (Touvron et al., 2023a;b) and other recently emerged moderate-sized large language models (LLMs) highlights the potential of building smaller yet powerful L…

Emergent Modularity in Pre-trained Transformers

Zhengyan Zhang, Zhiyuan Zeng, Yankai Lin +7

This work examines the presence of modularity in pre-trained Transformers, a feature commonly found in human brains and thought to be vital for general intelligence. In analogy to…

Plug-and-Play Knowledge Injection for Pre-trained Language Models

Zhengyan Zhang, Zhiyuan Zeng, Yankai Lin +8

Injecting external knowledge can improve the performance of pre-trained language models (PLMs) on various downstream NLP tasks. However, massive retraining is required to deploy ne…
