Users as Annotators: LLM Preference Learning from Comparison Mode

Zhongze Cai, Xiaocheng Li

Pairwise preference data have played an important role in the alignment of large language models (LLMs). Each sample of such data consists of a prompt, two different responses to t…

Incentivizing High-Quality Human Annotations with Golden Questions

Shang Liu, Zhongze Cai, Hanzhao Wang +2

Human-annotated data plays a vital role in training large language models (LLMs), such as supervised fine-tuning and human preference alignment. However, it is not guaranteed that…

Out-of-distribution Robust Optimization

Zhongze Cai, Hansheng Jiang, Xiaocheng Li

In this paper, we consider the contextual robust optimization problem under an out-of-distribution setting. The contextual robust optimization problem considers a risk-sensitive ob…

Towards Better Understanding of In-Context Learning Ability from In-Context Uncertainty Quantification

Shang Liu, Zhongze Cai, Guanting Chen +1

Predicting simple function classes has been widely used as a testbed for developing theory and understanding of the trained Transformer's in-context learning (ICL) ability. In this…

Towards Better Statistical Understanding of Watermarking LLMs

Zhongze Cai, Shang Liu, Hanzhao Wang +2

In this paper, we study the problem of watermarking large language models (LLMs). We consider the trade-off between model distortion and detection ability and formulate it as a con…
