Domain Mixture Design via Log-Likelihood Differences for Aligning Language Models with a Target Model

Ryo Kishino, Riku Shiomi, Hiroaki Yamagiwa +2

Instead of directly distilling a language model, this study addresses the problem of aligning a base model with a target model in distribution by designing the domain mixture of tr…

Likelihood Variance as Text Importance for Resampling Texts to Map Language Models

Momose Oyama, Ryo Kishino, Hiroaki Yamagiwa +1

We address the computational cost of constructing a model map, which embeds diverse language models into a common space for comparison via KL divergence. The map relies on log-like…

Mapping 1,000+ Language Models via the Log-Likelihood Vector

Momose Oyama, Hiroaki Yamagiwa, Yusuke Takase +1

To compare autoregressive language models at scale, we propose using log-likelihood vectors computed on a predefined text set as model features. This approach has a solid theoretic…

Quantifying Lexical Semantic Shift via Unbalanced Optimal Transport

Ryo Kishino, Hiroaki Yamagiwa, Ryo Nagata +2

Lexical semantic change detection aims to identify shifts in word meanings over time. While existing methods using embeddings from a diachronic corpus pair estimate the degree of c…

Understanding Higher-Order Correlations Among Semantic Components in Embeddings

Momose Oyama, Hiroaki Yamagiwa, Hidetoshi Shimodaira

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) offers interpretable semantic components of embeddings. While ICA theory assumes that embeddings can be linearly decomposed into independent co…

Norm of Mean Contextualized Embeddings Determines their Variance

Hiroaki Yamagiwa, Hidetoshi Shimodaira

Contextualized embeddings vary by context, even for the same token, and form a distribution in the embedding space. To analyze this distribution, we focus on the norm of the mean e…
