RoleQ: Role-Aligned Scales for Converting Language Models to Ternary

Johannes Knittel, Alec Helbling, Hanspeter Pfister

Weight quantization below four bits shrinks memory and bandwidth at a perplexity that looks acceptable, but often at the cost of factual knowledge and task accuracy. Ternary weight…

Sparse Inter-Layer Dependencies of Transformer FFN Neurons

Johannes Knittel, Hanspeter Pfister

Feedforward network (FFN) blocks account for a large fraction of the parameters and computation in Transformer architectures, yet their internal structure remains difficult to inte…

Bias at the End of the Score

Salma Abdel Magid, Grace Guo, Esin Tureci +4

Reward models (RMs) are inherently non-neutral value functions designed and trained to encode specific objectives, such as human preferences or text-image alignment. RMs have becom…

A Rigorous Behavior Assessment of CNNs Using a Data-Domain Sampling Regime

Shuning Jiang, Wei-Lun Chao, Daniel Haehn +2

We present a data-domain sampling regime for quantifying CNNs' graphic perception behaviors. This regime lets us evaluate CNNs' ratio estimation ability in bar charts from three pe…

Understanding Graphical Perception in Data Visualization through Zero-shot Prompting of Vision-Language Models

Grace Guo, Jenna Jiayi Kang, Raj Sanjay Shah +2

Vision Language Models (VLMs) have been successful at many chart comprehension tasks that require attending to both the images of charts and their accompanying textual descriptions…

Task-Specific Directions: Definition, Exploration, and Utilization in Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning

Chongjie Si, Zhiyi Shi, Shifan Zhang +3

Large language models demonstrate impressive performance on downstream tasks, yet they require extensive resource consumption when fully fine-tuning all parameters. To mitigate thi…

They're All Doctors: Synthesizing Diverse Counterfactuals to Mitigate Associative Bias

Salma Abdel Magid, Jui-Hsien Wang, Kushal Kafle +1

Vision Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP are powerful models; however they can exhibit unwanted biases, making them less safe when deployed directly in applications such as text-…

Measuring and Controlling Instruction (In)Stability in Language Model Dialogs

Kenneth Li, Tianle Liu, Naomi Bashkansky +4

System-prompting is a standard tool for customizing language-model chatbots, enabling them to follow a specific instruction. An implicit assumption in the use of system prompts is…

The Indoor-Training Effect: unexpected gains from distribution shifts in the transition function

Serena Bono, Spandan Madan, Ishaan Grover +4

Is it better to perform tennis training in a pristine indoor environment or a noisy outdoor one? To model this problem, here we investigate whether shifts in the transition probabi…
