Teaching Models to Balance Resisting and Accepting Persuasion
Elias Stengel-Eskin, Peter Hase, Mohit Bansal
Large language models (LLMs) are susceptible to persuasion, which can pose risks when models are faced with an adversarial interlocutor. We take a first step towards defending mode…
System-1.x: Learning to Balance Fast and Slow Planning with Language Models
Swarnadeep Saha, Archiki Prasad, Justin Chih-Yao Chen +3
Language models can be used to solve long-horizon planning problems in two distinct modes: a fast 'System-1' mode, directly generating plans without any explicit search or backtrac…
Fundamental Problems With Model Editing: How Should Rational Belief Revision Work in LLMs?
Peter Hase, Thomas Hofweber, Xiang Zhou +2
The model editing problem concerns how language models should learn new facts about the world over time. While empirical research on model editing has drawn widespread attention, t…
Are language models rational? The case of coherence norms and belief revision
Thomas Hofweber, Peter Hase, Elias Stengel-Eskin +1
Do norms of rationality apply to machine learning models, in particular language models? In this paper we investigate this question by focusing on a special subset of rational norm…
LACIE: Listener-Aware Finetuning for Confidence Calibration in Large Language Models
Elias Stengel-Eskin, Peter Hase, Mohit Bansal
When answering questions, LLMs can convey not only an answer, but a level of confidence about the answer being correct. This includes explicit confidence markers (e.g. giving a num…
Foundational Challenges in Assuring Alignment and Safety of Large Language Models
Usman Anwar, Abulhair Saparov, Javier Rando +39
This work identifies 18 foundational challenges in assuring the alignment and safety of large language models (LLMs). These challenges are organized into three different categories…
Rethinking Machine Unlearning for Large Language Models
Sijia Liu, Yuanshun Yao, Jinghan Jia +11
We explore machine unlearning (MU) in the domain of large language models (LLMs), referred to as LLM unlearning. This initiative aims to eliminate undesirable data influence (e.g.,…
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Easy Training Data for Hard Tasks
Peter Hase, Mohit Bansal, Peter Clark +1
How can we train models to perform well on hard test data when hard training data is by definition difficult to label correctly? This question has been termed the scalable oversigh…
