Language Models that Play Chess and Explain Their Moves

Adithya Bhaskar, Jeffrey Cheng, Danqi Chen

Modern chess engines are silent experts: they play at a superhuman level, but do not offer explanations for their play. On the other hand, language models (LMs) can generate plausi…

Self-Distillation Zero: Self-Revision Turns Binary Rewards into Dense Supervision

Yinghui He, Simran Kaur, Adithya Bhaskar +7

Current post-training methods in verifiable settings fall into two categories. Reinforcement learning (RLVR) relies on binary rewards, which are broadly applicable and powerful, bu…

Extracting Rule-based Descriptions of Attention Features in Transformers

Dan Friedman, Adithya Bhaskar, Alexander Wettig +1

Mechanistic interpretability strives to explain model behavior in terms of bottom-up primitives. The leading paradigm is to express hidden states as a sparse linear combination of…

Language Models that Think, Chat Better

Adithya Bhaskar, Xi Ye, Danqi Chen

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains language models to use long chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT) in domains like mathematics and code with rule-based verif…

Cache Me If You Can: How Many KVs Do You Need for Effective Long-Context LMs?

Adithya Bhaskar, Alexander Wettig, Tianyu Gao +2

Language models handle increasingly long contexts for tasks such as book summarization, but this leads to growing memory costs for the key-value (KV) cache. Many prior works have p…

Continual Memorization of Factoids in Language Models

Howard Chen, Jiayi Geng, Adithya Bhaskar +2

As new knowledge rapidly accumulates, language models (LMs) with pretrained knowledge quickly become obsolete. A common approach to updating LMs is fine-tuning them directly on new…

Finding Transformer Circuits with Edge Pruning

Adithya Bhaskar, Alexander Wettig, Dan Friedman +1

The path to interpreting a language model often proceeds via analysis of circuits -- sparse computational subgraphs of the model that capture specific aspects of its behavior. Rece…

The Heuristic Core: Understanding Subnetwork Generalization in Pretrained Language Models

Adithya Bhaskar, Dan Friedman, Danqi Chen

Prior work has found that pretrained language models (LMs) fine-tuned with different random seeds can achieve similar in-domain performance but generalize differently on tests of s…

Improving Language Understanding from Screenshots

Tianyu Gao, Zirui Wang, Adithya Bhaskar +1

An emerging family of language models (LMs), capable of processing both text and images within a single visual view, has the promise to unlock complex tasks such as chart understan…

Benchmarking and Improving Text-to-SQL Generation under Ambiguity

Adithya Bhaskar, Tushar Tomar, Ashutosh Sathe +1

Research in Text-to-SQL conversion has been largely benchmarked against datasets where each text query corresponds to one correct SQL. However, natural language queries over real-l…
