Ken Gu, Advait Bhat, Mike A Merrill +4
Evaluating the reasoning ability of language models (LMs) is complicated by their extensive parametric world knowledge, where benchmark performance often reflects factual recall ra…
Narrow Finetuning Leaves Clearly Readable Traces in Activation Differences
Julian Minder, Clément Dumas, Stewart Slocum +4
Finetuning on narrow domains has become an essential tool to adapt Large Language Models (LLMs) to specific tasks and to create models with known unusual properties that are useful…
