Reasoning over mathematical objects: on-policy reward modeling and test time aggregation
Pranjal Aggarwal, Marjan Ghazvininejad, Seungone Kim +18
The ability to precisely derive mathematical objects is a core requirement for downstream STEM applications, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry, where reasoning must cul…
Decoupling Strategy and Execution in Task-Focused Dialogue via Goal-Oriented Preference Optimization
Jingyi Xu, Xingyu Ren, Zhoupeng Shou +2
Large language models show potential in task-oriented dialogue systems, yet existing training methods often rely on token-level likelihood or preference optimization, which poorly…
Self-Improving Pretraining: using post-trained models to pretrain better models
Ellen Xiaoqing Tan, Jack Lanchantin, Shehzaad Dhuliawala +9
Large language models are classically trained in stages: pretraining on raw text followed by post-training for instruction following and reasoning. However, this separation creates…
CoT-Self-Instruct: Building high-quality synthetic prompts for reasoning and non-reasoning tasks
Ping Yu, Jack Lanchantin, Tianlu Wang +6
We propose CoT-Self-Instruct, a synthetic data generation method that instructs LLMs to first reason and plan via Chain-of-Thought (CoT) based on given seed tasks, and then generat…
K-Function: Joint Pronunciation Transcription and Feedback for Evaluating Kids Language Function
Shuhe Li, Chenxu Guo, Jiachen Lian +18
Evaluating young children's language is challenging for automatic speech recognizers due to high-pitched voices, prolonged sounds, and limited data. We introduce K-Function, a fram…
Bridging Offline and Online Reinforcement Learning for LLMs
Jack Lanchantin, Angelica Chen, Janice Lan +9
We investigate the effectiveness of reinforcement learning methods for finetuning large language models when transitioning from offline to semi-online to fully online regimes for b…
R.I.P.: Better Models by Survival of the Fittest Prompts
Ping Yu, Weizhe Yuan, Olga Golovneva +4
Training data quality is one of the most important drivers of final model quality. In this work, we introduce a method for evaluating data integrity based on the assumption that lo…
An Overview of Large Language Models for Statisticians
Wenlong Ji, Weizhe Yuan, Emily Getzen +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as transformative tools in artificial intelligence (AI), exhibiting remarkable capabilities across diverse tasks such as text generation,…
Self-Consistency Preference Optimization
Archiki Prasad, Weizhe Yuan, Richard Yuanzhe Pang +6
Self-alignment, whereby models learn to improve themselves without human annotation, is a rapidly growing research area. However, existing techniques often fail to improve complex…
Meta-Rewarding Language Models: Self-Improving Alignment with LLM-as-a-Meta-Judge
Tianhao Wu, Weizhe Yuan, Olga Golovneva +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly surpassing human knowledge in many domains. While improving these models traditionally relies on costly human data, recent self-rewarding m…
Distilling System 2 into System 1
Ping Yu, Jing Xu, Jason Weston +1
Large language models (LLMs) can spend extra compute during inference to generate intermediate thoughts, which helps to produce better final responses. Since Chain-of-Thought (Wei…
Following Length Constraints in Instructions
Weizhe Yuan, Ilia Kulikov, Ping Yu +4
Aligned instruction following models can better fulfill user requests than their unaligned counterparts. However, it has been shown that there is a length bias in evaluation of suc…
Self-Rewarding Language Models
Weizhe Yuan, Richard Yuanzhe Pang, Kyunghyun Cho +4
We posit that to achieve superhuman agents, future models require superhuman feedback in order to provide an adequate training signal. Current approaches commonly train reward mode…
Some things are more CRINGE than others: Iterative Preference Optimization with the Pairwise Cringe Loss
Jing Xu, Andrew Lee, Sainbayar Sukhbaatar +1
Practitioners commonly align large language models using pairwise preferences, i.e., given labels of the type response A is preferred to response B for a given input. Perhaps less…
Chain-of-Verification Reduces Hallucination in Large Language Models
Shehzaad Dhuliawala, Mojtaba Komeili, Jing Xu +4
Generation of plausible yet incorrect factual information, termed hallucination, is an unsolved issue in large language models. We study the ability of language models to deliberat…
