ParaPO: Aligning Language Models to Reduce Verbatim Reproduction of Pre-training Data

Tong Chen, Faeze Brahman, Jiacheng Liu +5

Language models (LMs) can memorize and reproduce segments from their pretraining data verbatim even in non-adversarial settings, raising concerns about copyright, plagiarism, priva…

Negative Token Merging: Image-based Adversarial Feature Guidance

Jaskirat Singh, Lindsey Li, Weijia Shi +7

Text-based adversarial guidance using a negative prompt has emerged as a widely adopted approach to steer diffusion models away from producing undesired concepts. While useful, per…

LMFusion: Adapting Pretrained Language Models for Multimodal Generation

Weijia Shi, Xiaochuang Han, Chunting Zhou +4

We present LMFusion, a framework for empowering pretrained text-only large language models (LLMs) with multimodal generative capabilities, enabling them to understand and generate…

OpenScholar: Synthesizing Scientific Literature with Retrieval-augmented LMs

Akari Asai, Jacqueline He, Rulin Shao +22

Scientific progress depends on researchers' ability to synthesize the growing body of literature. Can large language models (LMs) assist scientists in this task? We introduce OpenS…

Scaling Retrieval-Based Language Models with a Trillion-Token Datastore

Rulin Shao, Jacqueline He, Akari Asai +5

Scaling laws with respect to the amount of training data and the number of parameters allow us to predict the cost-benefit trade-offs of pretraining language models (LMs) in differ…

Instruction-tuned Language Models are Better Knowledge Learners

Zhengbao Jiang, Zhiqing Sun, Weijia Shi +6

In order for large language model (LLM)-based assistants to effectively adapt to evolving information needs, it must be possible to update their factual knowledge through continued…

Do Membership Inference Attacks Work on Large Language Models?

Michael Duan, Anshuman Suri, Niloofar Mireshghallah +7

Membership inference attacks (MIAs) attempt to predict whether a particular datapoint is a member of a target model's training data. Despite extensive research on traditional machi…

RECOMP: Improving Retrieval-Augmented LMs with Compression and Selective Augmentation

Fangyuan Xu, Weijia Shi, Eunsol Choi

Retrieving documents and prepending them in-context at inference time improves performance of language model (LMs) on a wide range of tasks. However, these documents, often spannin…

Detecting Pretraining Data from Large Language Models

Weijia Shi, Anirudh Ajith, Mengzhou Xia +5

Although large language models (LLMs) are widely deployed, the data used to train them is rarely disclosed. Given the incredible scale of this data, up to trillions of tokens, it i…

In-context Pretraining: Language Modeling Beyond Document Boundaries

Weijia Shi, Sewon Min, Maria Lomeli +9

Large language models (LMs) are currently trained to predict tokens given document prefixes, enabling them to directly perform long-form generation and prompting-style tasks which…

RA-DIT: Retrieval-Augmented Dual Instruction Tuning

Xi Victoria Lin, Xilun Chen, Mingda Chen +9

Retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) improve performance by accessing long-tail and up-to-date knowledge from external data stores, but are challenging to build. Existing ap…
