Putting HUMANS first: Efficient LAM Evaluation with Human Preference Alignment
Woody Haosheng Gan, William Held, Diyi Yang
The rapid proliferation of large audio models (LAMs) demands efficient approaches for model comparison, yet comprehensive benchmarks are costly. To fill this gap, we investigate wh…
Scaling Open Discrete Audio Foundation Models with Interleaved Semantic, Acoustic, and Text Tokens
Potsawee Manakul, Woody Haosheng Gan, Martijn Bartelds +3
Current audio language models are predominantly text-first, either extending pre-trained text LLM backbones or relying on semantic-only audio tokens, limiting general audio modelin…
Relative Scaling Laws for LLMs
William Held, David Hall, Percy Liang +1
Scaling laws describe how language models improve with additional data, parameters, and compute. While widely used, they are typically measured on aggregate test sets. Aggregate ev…
AudioJudge: Understanding What Works in Large Audio Model Based Speech Evaluation
Potsawee Manakul, Woody Haosheng Gan, Michael J. Ryan +5
Current speech evaluation suffers from two critical limitations: the need and difficulty of designing specialized systems targeting individual audio characteristics, and poor corre…
SynthesizeMe! Inducing Persona-Guided Prompts for Personalized Reward Models in LLMs
Michael J Ryan, Omar Shaikh, Aditri Bhagirath +3
Recent calls for pluralistic alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) encourage adapting models to diverse user preferences. However, most prior work on personalized reward models…
Unintended Impacts of LLM Alignment on Global Representation
Michael J. Ryan, William Held, Diyi Yang
Before being deployed for user-facing applications, developers align Large Language Models (LLMs) to user preferences through a variety of procedures, such as Reinforcement Learnin…
A Material Lens on Coloniality in NLP
William Held, Camille Harris, Michael Best +1
Coloniality, the continuation of colonial harms beyond "official" colonization, has pervasive effects across society and scientific fields. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is no…
