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…

ShiQ: Bringing back Bellman to LLMs

Pierre Clavier, Nathan Grinsztajn, Raphael Avalos +8

The fine-tuning of pre-trained large language models (LLMs) using reinforcement learning (RL) is generally formulated as direct policy optimization. This approach was naturally fav…

Averaging log-likelihoods in direct alignment

Nathan Grinsztajn, Yannis Flet-Berliac, Mohammad Gheshlaghi Azar +8

To better align Large Language Models (LLMs) with human judgment, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) learns a reward model and then optimizes it using regularized RL…

Contrastive Policy Gradient: Aligning LLMs on sequence-level scores in a supervised-friendly fashion

Yannis Flet-Berliac, Nathan Grinsztajn, Florian Strub +8

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been used to finetune Large Language Models (LLMs) using a reward model trained from preference data, to better align with human judgment. The recen…

Countering Reward Over-optimization in LLM with Demonstration-Guided Reinforcement Learning

Mathieu Rita, Florian Strub, Rahma Chaabouni +3

While Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been proven essential for tuning large language models (LLMs), it can lead to reward over-optimization (ROO). Existing approaches address ROO…

Language Evolution with Deep Learning

Mathieu Rita, Paul Michel, Rahma Chaabouni +3

Computational modeling plays an essential role in the study of language emergence. It aims to simulate the conditions and learning processes that could trigger the emergence of a s…

Language Model Alignment with Elastic Reset

Michael Noukhovitch, Samuel Lavoie, Florian Strub +1

Finetuning language models with reinforcement learning (RL), e.g. from human feedback (HF), is a prominent method for alignment. But optimizing against a reward model can improve o…
