InfAlign: Inference-aware language model alignment
Ananth Balashankar, Ziteng Sun, Jonathan Berant +9
Language model alignment is a critical step in training modern generative language models. Alignment targets to improve win rate of a sample from the aligned model against the base…
Immune: Improving Safety Against Jailbreaks in Multi-modal LLMs via Inference-Time Alignment
Soumya Suvra Ghosal, Souradip Chakraborty, Vaibhav Singh +7
With the widespread deployment of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for visual-reasoning tasks, improving their safety has become crucial. Recent research indicates that des…
Robust Preference Optimization through Reward Model Distillation
Adam Fisch, Jacob Eisenstein, Vicky Zayats +5
Language model (LM) post-training (or alignment) involves maximizing a reward function that is derived from preference annotations. Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a popula…
Mitigating Object Hallucination in MLLMs via Data-augmented Phrase-level Alignment
Pritam Sarkar, Sayna Ebrahimi, Ali Etemad +3
Despite their significant advancements, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often generate factually inaccurate information, referred to as hallucination. In this work, we add…
Asymptotics of Language Model Alignment
Joy Qiping Yang, Salman Salamatian, Ziteng Sun +2
Let denote a generative language model. Let denote a reward model that returns a scalar that captures the degree at which a draw from is preferred. The goal of language…
Reuse Your Rewards: Reward Model Transfer for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Alignment
Zhaofeng Wu, Ananth Balashankar, Yoon Kim +2
Aligning language models (LMs) based on human-annotated preference data is a crucial step in obtaining practical and performant LM-based systems. However, multilingual human prefer…
Block Verification Accelerates Speculative Decoding
Ziteng Sun, Uri Mendlovic, Yaniv Leviathan +4
Speculative decoding is an effective method for lossless acceleration of large language models during inference. It uses a fast model to draft a block of tokens which are then veri…
Theoretical guarantees on the best-of-n alignment policy
Ahmad Beirami, Alekh Agarwal, Jonathan Berant +4
A simple and effective method for the inference-time alignment and scaling test-time compute of generative models is best-of- sampling, where samples are drawn from a refere…
