Accurate Failure Prediction in Agents Does Not Imply Effective Failure Prevention

Rakshith Vasudev, Melisa Russak, Dan Bikel +1

Proactive interventions by LLM critic models are often assumed to improve reliability, yet their effects at deployment time are poorly understood. We show that a binary LLM critic…

Reflect, Retry, Reward: Self-Improving LLMs via Reinforcement Learning

Shelly Bensal, Umar Jamil, Christopher Bryant +5

We explore a method for improving the performance of large language models through self-reflection and reinforcement learning. By incentivizing the model to generate better self-re…

Expect the Unexpected: FailSafe Long Context QA for Finance

Kiran Kamble, Melisa Russak, Dmytro Mozolevskyi +3

We propose a new long-context financial benchmark, FailSafeQA, designed to test the robustness and context-awareness of LLMs against six variations in human-interface interactions…

Writing in the Margins: Better Inference Pattern for Long Context Retrieval

Melisa Russak, Umar Jamil, Christopher Bryant +4

In this paper, we introduce Writing in the Margins (WiM), a new inference pattern for Large Language Models designed to optimize the handling of long input sequences in retrieval-o…

Becoming self-instruct: introducing early stopping criteria for minimal instruct tuning

Waseem AlShikh, Manhal Daaboul, Kirk Goddard +4

In this paper, we introduce the Instruction Following Score (IFS), a metric that detects language models' ability to follow instructions. The metric has a dual purpose. First, IFS…
