Measuring Concept Content in Text from LLM Activations: ESG Evidence from Concept Vectors and Linear Probes

Luc Hazenoot, Zhaochun Ren, Amirhossein Zohrehvand

Existing measures of how much a text is about a concept read the surface of the text: dictionary word shares, topic proportions, embedding similarities. They score the words a text…

Reinforced Efficient Reasoning via Semantically Diverse Exploration

Ziqi Zhao, Zhaochun Ren, Jiahong Zou +9

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has proven effective in enhancing the reasoning of large language models (LLMs). Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based extensio…

DiffuGR: Generative Document Retrieval with Diffusion Language Models

Xinpeng Zhao, Zhaochun Ren, Yukun Zhao +9

Generative retrieval (GR) reframes document retrieval as an end-to-end task of generating sequential document identifiers (DocIDs). Existing GR methods predominantly rely on left-t…

Evolution without Large Models: Training Language Model with Task Principles

Minghang Zhu, Shen Gao, Zhengliang Shi +5

A common training approach for language models involves using a large-scale language model to expand a human-provided dataset, which is subsequently used for model training.This me…

Direct Retrieval-augmented Optimization: Synergizing Knowledge Selection and Language Models

Zhengliang Shi, Lingyong Yan, Weiwei Sun +7

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) integrates large language models ( LLM s) with retrievers to access external knowledge, improving the factuality of LLM generation in knowledge…
