Overfitting Mitigation via Singular Value Decomposition in Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding

Riza Setiawan Soetedjo, Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito +2

Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding enables high-quality text generation by selecting the hypothesis that maximizes a utility metric over sampled pseudo-references. However, it is hi…

ExpArt-KG: Artwork Image Description Generation through Iterative Exploration of Knowledge Graphs

Yuta Kato, Shintaro Ozaki, Kazuki Hayashi +4

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) achieve strong performance on image-grounded text generation and visual question answering. However, it remains difficult for them to comprehen…

Attention-Guided Layer Selection for Contrastive Decoding in Large Language Models

Yusuke Sakai, Natthawut Kertkeidkachorn, Kiyoaki Shirai

Contrastive decoding methods such as DoLa improve the factuality of Large Language Models (LLMs) by contrasting the output distributions of mature and premature layers. However, Do…

Noisy-Channel Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding

Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito, Taro Watanabe

Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding yields more robust and higher-quality text generation than maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding by selecting hypotheses that maximize expected util…

Multilinguality of Large Language Models From a Structural Perspective

Haruki Sakajo, Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito +1

Large language models (LLMs) have excelled in processing multiple languages through pre- and post-training on multilingual data, even though English dominates the training data. Pr…

Enhancing Factuality through Consensus and Consistency in Summarization Using Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding

Riza Setiawan Soetedjo, Yusuke Sakai, Hidetaka Kamigaito +3

Improving the quality of model-generated summaries, especially factuality, the accuracy of a summary with respect to its source content, remains a challenge. While reranking could…

Edit-level Majority Voting Mitigates Over-Correction in LLM-based Grammatical Error Correction

Takumi Goto, Yusuke Sakai, Taro Watanabe

Grammatical error correction using large language models often suffers from the over-correction issue. To mitigate this, we propose a training-free inference method that performs e…

One Single Hub Text Breaks CLIP: Identifying Vulnerabilities in Cross-Modal Encoders via Hubness

Hiroyuki Deguchi, Katsuki Chousa, Yusuke Sakai

The hubness problem, in which hub embeddings are close to many unrelated examples, occurs often in high-dimensional embedding spaces and may pose a practical threat for purposes su…

The Wisdom of Many Queries: Complexity-Diversity Principle for Dense Retriever Training

Xincan Feng, Noriki Nishida, Yusuke Sakai +1

Synthetic query generation has become essential for training dense retrievers, yet prior methods generate one query per document, focusing solely on query quality. We are the first…

StructLens: A Structural Lens for Language Models via Maximum Spanning Trees

Haruki Sakajo, Frederikus Hudi, Yusuke Sakai +2

Language exhibits inherent structures, a property that explains both language acquisition and language change. Given this characteristic, we expect language models to manifest thei…
