Discretizing Reward Models

Vijay Viswanathan, Shiqi Wang, Devamanyu Hazarika +4

Despite their widespread use, the role of reward models in shaping reinforcement learning is poorly understood. Reward models offer a tempting promise: they automatically estimate…

High Accuracy, Less Talk (HALT): Reliable LLMs through Capability-Aligned Finetuning

Tim Franzmeyer, Archie Sravankumar, Lijuan Liu +6

Large Language Models (LLMs) currently respond to every prompt. However, they can produce incorrect answers when they lack knowledge or capability -- a problem known as hallucinati…

Towards Artwork Explanation in Large-scale Vision Language Models

Kazuki Hayashi, Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito +2

Large-scale Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) output text from images and instructions, demonstrating capabilities in text generation and comprehension. However, it has not been clari…

Improving Model Factuality with Fine-grained Critique-based Evaluator

Yiqing Xie, Wenxuan Zhou, Pradyot Prakash +9

Factuality evaluation aims to detect factual errors produced by language models (LMs) and hence guide the development of more factual models. Towards this goal, we train a factuali…

ZeroSumEval: An Extensible Framework For Scaling LLM Evaluation with Inter-Model Competition

Hisham A. Alyahya, Haidar Khan, Yazeed Alnumay +2

We introduce ZeroSumEval, a dynamic, competition-based, and evolving evaluation framework for Large Language Models (LLMs) that leverages competitive games. ZeroSumEval encompasses…

Diversity-driven Data Selection for Language Model Tuning through Sparse Autoencoder

Xianjun Yang, Shaoliang Nie, Lijuan Liu +5

Instruction tuning data are often quantity-saturated due to the large volume of data collection and fast model iteration, leaving data selection important but underexplored. Existi…
