Exploring Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Steerable Pluralistic Alignment

Yunfan Zhang, Kathleen McKeown, Smaranda Muresan

Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically trained to reflect a relatively uniform set of values, which limits their applicability to tasks that require understanding of nuanced hu…

Rethinking Reasoning with MDLMs: Early Exits, Post-hoc Reasoning, and Beyond

Zachary Horvitz, Raghav Singhal, Hao Zou +4

The reasoning paradigm, where language models reason before answering, has enabled breakthroughs on tasks such as mathematical problem-solving. While current tooling for reasoning…

The Law of Knowledge Overshadowing: Towards Understanding, Predicting, and Preventing LLM Hallucination

Yuji Zhang, Sha Li, Cheng Qian +8

Hallucination is a persistent challenge in large language models (LLMs), where even with rigorous quality control, models often generate distorted facts. This paradox, in which err…

A General Framework for Inference-time Scaling and Steering of Diffusion Models

Raghav Singhal, Zachary Horvitz, Ryan Teehan +4

Diffusion models produce impressive results in modalities ranging from images and video to protein design and text. However, generating samples with user-specified properties remai…
