Improving Large Language Models Function Calling and Interpretability via Guided-Structured Templates
Hy Dang, Tianyi Liu, Zhuofeng Wu +9
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong reasoning and tool-use capabilities, yet they often fail in real-world tool-interactions due to incorrect parameterization, po…
RRO: LLM Agent Optimization Through Rising Reward Trajectories
Zilong Wang, Jingfeng Yang, Sreyashi Nag +5
Large language models (LLMs) have exhibited extraordinary performance in a variety of tasks while it remains challenging for them to solve complex multi-step tasks as agents. In pr…
IHEval: Evaluating Language Models on Following the Instruction Hierarchy
Zhihan Zhang, Shiyang Li, Zixuan Zhang +11
The instruction hierarchy, which establishes a priority order from system messages to user messages, conversation history, and tool outputs, is essential for ensuring consistent an…
Hephaestus: Improving Fundamental Agent Capabilities of Large Language Models through Continual Pre-Training
Yuchen Zhuang, Jingfeng Yang, Haoming Jiang +16
Due to the scarcity of agent-oriented pre-training data, LLM-based autonomous agents typically rely on complex prompting or extensive fine-tuning, which often fails to introduce ne…
RNR: Teaching Large Language Models to Follow Roles and Rules
Kuan Wang, Alexander Bukharin, Haoming Jiang +9
Instruction fine-tuning (IFT) elicits instruction following capabilities and steers the behavior of large language models (LLMs) via supervised learning. However, existing models t…
Inductive or Deductive? Rethinking the Fundamental Reasoning Abilities of LLMs
Kewei Cheng, Jingfeng Yang, Haoming Jiang +9
Reasoning encompasses two typical types: deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. Despite extensive research into the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), mo…
Relational Database Augmented Large Language Model
Zongyue Qin, Chen Luo, Zhengyang Wang +2
Large language models (LLMs) excel in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, since LLMs can only incorporate new knowledge through training or supervised fine-tunin…
Two-Step Offline Preference-Based Reinforcement Learning with Constrained Actions
Yinglun Xu, Tarun Suresh, Rohan Gumaste +10
Preference-based reinforcement learning (PBRL) in the offline setting has succeeded greatly in industrial applications such as chatbots. A two-step learning framework where one app…
Data Diversity Matters for Robust Instruction Tuning
Alexander Bukharin, Shiyang Li, Zhengyang Wang +6
Recent works have shown that by curating high quality and diverse instruction tuning datasets, we can significantly improve instruction-following capabilities. However, creating su…
