The Alignment Tax: Response Homogenization in Aligned LLMs and Its Implications for Uncertainty Estimation
Mingyi Liu
RLHF-aligned language models exhibit response homogenization: on TruthfulQA (n=790), 40-79% of questions produce a single semantic cluster across 10 i.i.d. samples. On affected que…
AVO: Agentic Variation Operators for Autonomous Evolutionary Search
Terry Chen, Zhifan Ye, Bing Xu +20
Agentic Variation Operators (AVO) are a new family of evolutionary variation operators that replace the fixed mutation, crossover, and hand-designed heuristics of classical evoluti…
Data-regularized Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Models at Scale
Haotian Ye, Kaiwen Zheng, Jiashu Xu +15
Aligning generative diffusion models with human preferences via reinforcement learning (RL) is critical yet challenging. Most existing algorithms are often vulnerable to reward hac…
DiffusionNFT: Online Diffusion Reinforcement with Forward Process
Kaiwen Zheng, Huayu Chen, Haotian Ye +7
Online reinforcement learning (RL) has been central to post-training language models, but its extension to diffusion models remains challenging due to intractable likelihoods. Rece…
NFT: Bridging Supervised Learning and Reinforcement Learning in Math Reasoning
Huayu Chen, Kaiwen Zheng, Qinsheng Zhang +8
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has played a central role in the recent surge of LLMs' math abilities by enabling self-improvement through binary verifier signals. In contrast, Supervi…
Masked Diffusion Models are Secretly Time-Agnostic Masked Models and Exploit Inaccurate Categorical Sampling
Kaiwen Zheng, Yongxin Chen, Hanzi Mao +3
Masked diffusion models (MDMs) have emerged as a popular research topic for generative modeling of discrete data, thanks to their superior performance over other discrete diffusion…
