Estimating Tail Risks in Language Model Output Distributions

Rico Angell, Raghav Singhal, Zachary Horvitz +4

Language models are increasingly capable and are being rapidly deployed on a population-level scale. As a result, the safety of these models is increasingly high-stakes. Fortunatel…

Unsupervised Elicitation of Language Models

Jiaxin Wen, Zachary Ankner, Arushi Somani +10

To steer pretrained language models for downstream tasks, today's post-training paradigm relies on humans to specify desired behaviors. However, for models with superhuman capabili…

Predicting Empirical AI Research Outcomes with Language Models

Jiaxin Wen, Chenglei Si, Yueh-han Chen +2

Many promising-looking ideas in AI research fail to deliver, but their validation takes substantial human labor and compute. Predicting an idea's chance of success is thus crucial…

Adaptive Deployment of Untrusted LLMs Reduces Distributed Threats

Jiaxin Wen, Vivek Hebbar, Caleb Larson +9

As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly capable, it is prudent to assess whether safety measures remain effective even if LLMs intentionally try to bypass them. Previou…

Language Models Learn to Mislead Humans via RLHF

Jiaxin Wen, Ruiqi Zhong, Akbir Khan +6

Language models (LMs) can produce errors that are hard to detect for humans, especially when the task is complex. RLHF, the most popular post-training method, may exacerbate this p…

Spontaneous Reward Hacking in Iterative Self-Refinement

Jane Pan, He He, Samuel R. Bowman +1

Language models are capable of iteratively improving their outputs based on natural language feedback, thus enabling in-context optimization of user preference. In place of human u…
