CreativeInstruct: Scalably Teaching LLMs to Balance Quality, Creativity, and Diversity

Ananya Sahu, Mohit Bansal, Elias Stengel-Eskin

While post-training improves the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), it generally lowers their output diversity and creativity, negatively impacting tasks that explicitly…

The Culture Funnel: You Can't Align What isn't in the Data

Ananya Sahu, Mehrnaz Mofakhami, Daniel D'Souza +3

Current cultural alignment approaches focus on inference-time interventions, assuming models already contain sufficient cultural knowledge. We argue modern LLM pipelines suffer fro…

Dynamical System Analysis for Scalar Field Potential in Teleparallel Gravity

S. A. Kadam, Ananya Sahu, S. K. Tripathy +1

In this paper, we have presented a power law cosmological model and its dynamical system analysis in gravity, where is the torsion scalar and is the canonical sc…
