Scaling Self-Play with Self-Guidance

Luke Bailey, Kaiyue Wen, Kefan Dong +2

LLM self-play algorithms are notable in that, in principle, nothing bounds their learning: a Conjecturer model creates problems for a Solver, and both improve together. However, in…

Task Generalization With AutoRegressive Compositional Structure: Can Learning From Tasks Generalize to Tasks?

Amirhesam Abedsoltan, Huaqing Zhang, Kaiyue Wen +3

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable task generalization, solving tasks they were never explicitly trained on with only a few demonstrations. This raises a fundamental q…

From Sparse Dependence to Sparse Attention: Unveiling How Chain-of-Thought Enhances Transformer Sample Efficiency

Kaiyue Wen, Huaqing Zhang, Hongzhou Lin +1

Chain-of-thought (CoT) significantly enhances the reasoning performance of large language models (LLM). While current theoretical studies often attribute this improvement to increa…

RNNs are not Transformers (Yet): The Key Bottleneck on In-context Retrieval

Kaiyue Wen, Xingyu Dang, Kaifeng Lyu

This paper investigates the gap in representation powers of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Transformers in the context of solving algorithmic problems. We focus on understand…

Transformers are uninterpretable with myopic methods: a case study with bounded Dyck grammars

Kaiyue Wen, Yuchen Li, Bingbin Liu +1

Interpretability methods aim to understand the algorithm implemented by a trained model (e.g., a Transofmer) by examining various aspects of the model, such as the weight matrices…
