Using Probabilistic Programs to Train Inductive Reasoning in Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, Akshay K. Jagadish, Brenden M. Lake +1

Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) for reasoning typically focuses on deductive tasks such as mathematics and coding where correctness is verifiable. Yet, many real-world r…

Meta-Learning at Scale for Large Language Models via Low-Rank Amortized Bayesian Meta-Learning

Liyi Zhang, Jake Snell, Thomas L. Griffiths

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a cost-effective way to incorporate information from a specific dataset. However, when a problem require…

Identifying and Mitigating the Influence of the Prior Distribution in Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, Veniamin Veselovsky, R. Thomas McCoy +1

Large language models (LLMs) sometimes fail to respond appropriately to deterministic tasks -- such as counting or forming acronyms -- because the implicit prior distribution they…

Figame: A Family Digital Game Based on JME for Shaping Parent-Child Healthy Gaming Relationship

Liyi Zhang, Yujie Peng, Yi Lian +1

With the development of technology, digital games have permeated into family and parent-child relationships, leading to cognitive deficiencies and inter-generational conflicts that…

Levels of Analysis for Large Language Models

Alexander Y. Ku, Declan Campbell, Xuechunzi Bai +10

Modern artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models, are increasingly powerful but also increasingly hard to understand. Recognizing this problem as analogous to…

Analyzing the Benefits of Prototypes for Semi-Supervised Category Learning

Liyi Zhang, Logan Nelson, Thomas L. Griffiths

Categories can be represented at different levels of abstraction, from prototypes focused on the most typical members to remembering all observed exemplars of the category. These r…

What Should Embeddings Embed? Autoregressive Models Represent Latent Generating Distributions

Liyi Zhang, Michael Y. Li, R. Thomas McCoy +3

Autoregressive language models have demonstrated a remarkable ability to extract latent structure from text. The embeddings from large language models have been shown to capture as…

Learning Human-Aligned Representations with Contrastive Learning and Generative Similarity

Raja Marjieh, Sreejan Kumar, Declan Campbell +4

Humans rely on effective representations to learn from few examples and abstract useful information from sensory data. Inducing such representations in machine learning models has…

Deep de Finetti: Recovering Topic Distributions from Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, R. Thomas McCoy, Theodore R. Sumers +2

Large language models (LLMs) can produce long, coherent passages of text, suggesting that LLMs, although trained on next-word prediction, must represent the latent structure that c…
