LLM CHESS: Benchmarking Reasoning and Instruction-Following in LLMs through Chess
Sai Kolasani, Maxim Saplin, Nicholas Crispino +5
We introduce LLM CHESS, an evaluation framework designed to probe the generalization of reasoning and instruction-following abilities in large language models (LLMs) through extend…
VMDT: Decoding the Trustworthiness of Video Foundation Models
Yujin Potter, Zhun Wang, Nicholas Crispino +11
As foundation models become more sophisticated, ensuring their trustworthiness becomes increasingly critical; yet, unlike text and image, the video modality still lacks comprehensi…
COSMIC: Generalized Refusal Direction Identification in LLM Activations
Vincent Siu, Nicholas Crispino, Zihao Yu +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) encode behaviors such as refusal within their activation space, yet identifying these behaviors remains a significant challenge. Existing methods often…
MLAN: Language-Based Instruction Tuning Preserves and Transfers Knowledge in Multimodal Language Models
Jianhong Tu, Zhuohao Ni, Nicholas Crispino +8
We present a novel visual instruction tuning strategy to improve the zero-shot task generalization of multimodal large language models by building a firm text-only knowledge base.…
