Training Reasoning Models to Generate Diverse Scientific Ideas

Manya Wadhwa, Pranav Narayanan Venkit, Hiroaki Hayashi +3

One of the first steps of a research pipeline is generating ideas. Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate this step, but most of this work optimizes the qua…

GENIE: A Fine-Grained Measure for Novelty

Ramya Namuduri, Manya Wadhwa, Anshun Asher Zheng +2

Large Language Models have consistently demonstrated a lack of creativity and diversity across tasks. Prior work has focused on addressing whether models are capable of generating…

CREATE: Testing LLMs for Associative Creativity

Manya Wadhwa, Tiasa Singha Roy, Harvey Lederman +2

A key component of creativity is associative reasoning: the ability to draw novel yet meaningful connections between concepts. We introduce CREATE, a benchmark designed to evaluate…

SkillFactory: Self-Distillation For Learning Cognitive Behaviors

Zayne Sprague, Jack Lu, Manya Wadhwa +3

Reasoning models leveraging long chains of thought employ various cognitive skills, such as verification of their answers, backtracking, retrying by an alternate method, and more.…

ChartMuseum: Testing Visual Reasoning Capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models

Liyan Tang, Grace Kim, Xinyu Zhao +12

Chart understanding presents a unique challenge for large vision-language models (LVLMs), as it requires the integration of sophisticated textual and visual reasoning capabilities.…

EvalAgent: Discovering Implicit Evaluation Criteria from the Web

Manya Wadhwa, Zayne Sprague, Chaitanya Malaviya +3

Evaluation of language model outputs on structured writing tasks is typically conducted with a number of desirable criteria presented to human evaluators or large language models (…

Pairwise or Pointwise? Evaluating Feedback Protocols for Bias in LLM-Based Evaluation

Tuhina Tripathi, Manya Wadhwa, Greg Durrett +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used as proxies for human labelers in both training (Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback) and large-scale response evaluation (LLM-as-a-…

QUDsim: Quantifying Discourse Similarities in LLM-Generated Text

Ramya Namuduri, Yating Wu, Anshun Asher Zheng +3

As large language models become increasingly capable at various writing tasks, their weakness at generating unique and creative content becomes a major liability. Although LLMs hav…

To CoT or not to CoT? Chain-of-thought helps mainly on math and symbolic reasoning

Zayne Sprague, Fangcong Yin, Juan Diego Rodriguez +7

Chain-of-thought (CoT) via prompting is the de facto method for eliciting reasoning capabilities from large language models (LLMs). But for what kinds of tasks is this extra ``thin…

Learning to Refine with Fine-Grained Natural Language Feedback

Manya Wadhwa, Xinyu Zhao, Junyi Jessy Li +1

Recent work has explored the capability of large language models (LLMs) to identify and correct errors in LLM-generated responses. These refinement approaches frequently evaluate w…

Using Natural Language Explanations to Rescale Human Judgments

Manya Wadhwa, Jifan Chen, Junyi Jessy Li +1

The rise of large language models (LLMs) has brought a critical need for high-quality human-labeled data, particularly for processes like human feedback and evaluation. A common pr…

Group Affect Prediction Using Multimodal Distributions

Saqib Shamsi, Bhanu Pratap Singh Rawat, Manya Wadhwa

We describe our approach towards building an efficient predictive model to detect emotions for a group of people in an image. We have proposed that training a Convolutional Neural…
