Consistency Is Not Validity: Self-Rewarded Moral Argumentation Makes Language Models Decisive but Pliable

Marius De Kuthy Meurers, Aaron Parisi, Bernd Bohnet

LLMs are increasingly consulted for moral judgment. We aim to improve performance on such tasks by rewarding good arguments, on the premise that arguing well increases the likeliho…

Analysis of Optimality of Large Language Models on Planning Problems

Bernd Bohnet, Michael C. Mozer, Kevin Swersky +4

Classic AI planning problems have been revisited in the Large Language Model (LLM) era, with a focus of recent benchmarks on success rates rather than plan efficiency. We examine t…

Enhancing LLM Planning Capabilities through Intrinsic Self-Critique

Bernd Bohnet, Pierre-Alexandre Kamienny, Hanie Sedghi +7

We demonstrate an approach for LLMs to critique their \emph{own} answers with the goal of enhancing their performance that leads to significant improvements over established planni…

A Comparative Analysis of LLM Adaptation: SFT, LoRA, and ICL in Data-Scarce Scenarios

Bernd Bohnet, Rumen Dangovski, Kevin Swersky +4

The remarkable capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) often need to be tailored for specific applications, requiring the integration of new knowledge or the acquisition of ne…

Improving Large Language Model Planning with Action Sequence Similarity

Xinran Zhao, Hanie Sedghi, Bernd Bohnet +2

Planning is essential for artificial intelligence systems to look ahead and proactively determine a course of actions to reach objectives in the virtual and real world. Recent work…

Training Language Models on the Knowledge Graph: Insights on Hallucinations and Their Detectability

Jiri Hron, Laura Culp, Gamaleldin Elsayed +28

While many capabilities of language models (LMs) improve with increased training budget, the influence of scale on hallucinations is not yet fully understood. Hallucinations come i…

Exploring and Benchmarking the Planning Capabilities of Large Language Models

Bernd Bohnet, Azade Nova, Aaron T Parisi +6

Classical and natural language planning tasks remain a difficult domain for modern large language models (LLMs). In this work, we lay the foundations for improving planning capabil…

Long-Span Question-Answering: Automatic Question Generation and QA-System Ranking via Side-by-Side Evaluation

Bernd Bohnet, Kevin Swersky, Rosanne Liu +9

We explore the use of long-context capabilities in large language models to create synthetic reading comprehension data from entire books. Previous efforts to construct such datase…

Many-Shot In-Context Learning

Rishabh Agarwal, Avi Singh, Lei M. Zhang +12

Large language models (LLMs) excel at few-shot in-context learning (ICL) -- learning from a few examples provided in context at inference, without any weight updates. Newly expande…

Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across millions of tokens of context

Gemini Team, Petko Georgiev, Ving Ian Lei +1132

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 1.5 family of models, representing the next generation of highly compute-efficient multimodal models capable of recalling and reasoning over…

A Chain-of-Thought Is as Strong as Its Weakest Link: A Benchmark for Verifiers of Reasoning Chains

Alon Jacovi, Yonatan Bitton, Bernd Bohnet +6

Prompting language models to provide step-by-step answers (e.g., "Chain-of-Thought") is the prominent approach for complex reasoning tasks, where more accurate reasoning chains typ…

Beyond Human Data: Scaling Self-Training for Problem-Solving with Language Models

Avi Singh, John D. Co-Reyes, Rishabh Agarwal +38

Fine-tuning language models~(LMs) on human-generated data remains a prevalent practice. However, the performance of such models is often limited by the quantity and diversity of hi…

Frontier Language Models are not Robust to Adversarial Arithmetic, or "What do I need to say so you agree 2+2=5?

C. Daniel Freeman, Laura Culp, Aaron Parisi +27

We introduce and study the problem of adversarial arithmetic, which provides a simple yet challenging testbed for language model alignment. This problem is comprised of arithmetic…

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Tool-Assisted Generation Strategies

Alon Jacovi, Avi Caciularu, Jonathan Herzig +3

A growing area of research investigates augmenting language models with tools (e.g., search engines, calculators) to overcome their shortcomings (e.g., missing or incorrect knowled…
