Watermarking for Proprietary Dataset Protection

John Kirchenbauer, Brian R. Bartoldson, Bhavya Kailkhura +1

A growing body of literature suggests that training data membership inference problems are fundamentally hard tasks in modern language modeling settings. We argue that output water…

When Can You Get Away with Low Memory Adam?

Dayal Singh Kalra, John Kirchenbauer, Maissam Barkeshli +1

Adam is the go-to optimizer for training modern machine learning models, but it requires additional memory to maintain the moving averages of the gradients and their squares. While…

Scaling up Test-Time Compute with Latent Reasoning: A Recurrent Depth Approach

Jonas Geiping, Sean McLeish, Neel Jain +6

We study a novel language model architecture that is capable of scaling test-time computation by implicitly reasoning in latent space. Our model works by iterating a recurrent bloc…

Democratizing AI: Open-source Scalable LLM Training on GPU-based Supercomputers

Siddharth Singh, Prajwal Singhania, Aditya Ranjan +9

Training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with hundreds of billions to trillions of parameters requires tens of thousands of GPUs, and a highly scalable software stack.…

Gemstones: A Model Suite for Multi-Faceted Scaling Laws

Sean McLeish, John Kirchenbauer, David Yu Miller +5

Scaling laws are typically fit using a family of models with a narrow range of frozen hyperparameter choices. In this work we study scaling laws using multiple architectural shapes…

LMD3: Language Model Data Density Dependence

John Kirchenbauer, Garrett Honke, Gowthami Somepalli +5

We develop a methodology for analyzing language model task performance at the individual example level based on training data density estimation. Experiments with paraphrasing as a…

Transformers Can Do Arithmetic with the Right Embeddings

Sean McLeish, Arpit Bansal, Alex Stein +8

The poor performance of transformers on arithmetic tasks seems to stem in large part from their inability to keep track of the exact position of each digit inside of a large span o…

Baseline Defenses for Adversarial Attacks Against Aligned Language Models

Neel Jain, Avi Schwarzschild, Yuxin Wen +7

As Large Language Models quickly become ubiquitous, it becomes critical to understand their security vulnerabilities. Recent work shows that text optimizers can produce jailbreakin…
