Don't Throw Away Your Pretrained Model
Shangbin Feng, Wenhao Yu, Yike Wang +3
Alignment training has tradeoffs: it helps language models (LMs) gain in reasoning and instruction following but might lose out on skills such as creativity and calibration, where…
Data Swarms: Optimizable Generation of Synthetic Evaluation Data
Shangbin Feng, Yike Wang, Weijia Shi +1
We propose Data Swarms, an algorithm to optimize the generation of synthetic evaluation data and advance quantitative desiderata of LLM evaluation. We first train a swarm of initia…
When One LLM Drools, Multi-LLM Collaboration Rules
Shangbin Feng, Wenxuan Ding, Alisa Liu +10
This position paper argues that in many realistic (i.e., complex, contextualized, subjective) scenarios, one LLM is not enough to produce a reliable output. We challenge the status…
Heterogeneous Swarms: Jointly Optimizing Model Roles and Weights for Multi-LLM Systems
Shangbin Feng, Zifeng Wang, Palash Goyal +8
We propose Heterogeneous Swarms, an algorithm to design multi-LLM systems by jointly optimizing model roles and weights. We represent multi-LLM systems as directed acyclic graphs (…
