LKValues: Aligning Large Language Models with Sri Lankan Societal Values
Nethmi Muthugala, Supryadi, Surangika Ranathunga +7
Value alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) has been shown to be culturally biased toward Western norms. This results in the mishandling of local values in multilingual societi…
Uncertainty-Aware Action Segmentation for Human-to-Robot Assembly Teleoperation
Fnu Heman, Yixuan Wang, Kolin Xu +7
Action segmentation supports intention estimation and execution monitoring in assisted teleoperation, but robot demonstrations are costly to collect. We propose an uncertainty-awar…
Soft-SVeRL: Self-Verified Reinforcement Learning with Soft Rewards
Saurabh Dash, Pierre Clavier, John Dang +4
Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has improved language models in domains such as mathematics and code, where correctness can be checked automatically. However,…
The Multilingual Divide and Its Impact on Global AI Safety
Aidan Peppin, Julia Kreutzer, Alice Schoenauer Sebag +13
Despite advances in large language model capabilities in recent years, a large gap remains in their capabilities and safety performance for many languages beyond a relatively small…
Aya Vision: Advancing the Frontier of Multilingual Multimodality
Saurabh Dash, Yiyang Nan, John Dang +22
Building multimodal language models is fundamentally challenging: it requires aligning vision and language modalities, curating high-quality instruction data, and avoiding the degr…
Command A: An Enterprise-Ready Large Language Model
Team Cohere, :, Aakanksha +227
In this report we describe the development of Command A, a powerful large language model purpose-built to excel at real-world enterprise use cases. Command A is an agent-optimised…
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…
Aya Expanse: Combining Research Breakthroughs for a New Multilingual Frontier
John Dang, Shivalika Singh, Daniel D'souza +42
We introduce the Aya Expanse model family, a new generation of 8B and 32B parameter multilingual language models, aiming to address the critical challenge of developing highly perf…
RLHF Can Speak Many Languages: Unlocking Multilingual Preference Optimization for LLMs
John Dang, Arash Ahmadian, Kelly Marchisio +3
Preference optimization techniques have become a standard final stage for training state-of-art large language models (LLMs). However, despite widespread adoption, the vast majorit…
Aya 23: Open Weight Releases to Further Multilingual Progress
Viraat Aryabumi, John Dang, Dwarak Talupuru +18
This technical report introduces Aya 23, a family of multilingual language models. Aya 23 builds on the recent release of the Aya model (Üstün et al., 2024), focusing on pairing a…
Group Preference Optimization: Few-Shot Alignment of Large Language Models
Siyan Zhao, John Dang, Aditya Grover
Many applications of large language models (LLMs), ranging from chatbots to creative writing, require nuanced subjective judgments that can differ significantly across different gr…
Peering Through Preferences: Unraveling Feedback Acquisition for Aligning Large Language Models
Hritik Bansal, John Dang, Aditya Grover
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values and intents critically involves the use of human or AI feedback. While dense feedback annotations are expensive to acquire a…
