Fine-tuning vs. In-context Learning in Large Language Models: A Formal Language Learning Perspective

Bishwamittra Ghosh, Soumi Das, Till Speicher +5

Large language models (LLMs) operate in two fundamental learning modes - fine-tuning (FT) and in-context learning (ICL) - raising key questions about which mode yields greater lang…

In Agents We Trust, but Who Do Agents Trust? Latent Source Preferences Steer LLM Generations

Mohammad Aflah Khan, Mahsa Amani, Soumi Das +5

Agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed as interfaces to information on online platforms. These agents filter, prioritize, and synthesize infor…

Understanding the Interplay between Memorization and Learning in Large Language Models

Bishwamittra Ghosh, Soumi Das, Qinyuan Wu +4

We investigate foundational questions about the interplay between memorization and learning in large language models (LLMs). When an LLM generates a string, can we disentangle the…

Rote Learning Considered Useful: Generalizing over Memorized Data in LLMs

Qinyuan Wu, Soumi Das, Mahsa Amani +4

Rote learning is a memorization technique based on repetition. Many researchers argue that rote learning hinders generalization because it encourages verbatim memorization rather t…

Revisiting Privacy, Utility, and Efficiency Trade-offs when Fine-Tuning Large Language Models

Soumi Das, Camila Kolling, Mohammad Aflah Khan +5

We study the inherent trade-offs in minimizing privacy risks and maximizing utility, while maintaining high computational efficiency, when fine-tuning large language models (LLMs).…

Understanding Memorisation in LLMs: Dynamics, Influencing Factors, and Implications

Till Speicher, Mohammad Aflah Khan, Qinyuan Wu +5

Understanding whether and to what extent large language models (LLMs) have memorised training data has important implications for the reliability of their output and the privacy of…

Towards Reliable Latent Knowledge Estimation in LLMs: Zero-Prompt Many-Shot Based Factual Knowledge Extraction

Qinyuan Wu, Mohammad Aflah Khan, Soumi Das +7

In this paper, we focus on the challenging task of reliably estimating factual knowledge that is embedded inside large language models (LLMs). To avoid reliability concerns with pr…
