RosettaSearch: Multi-Objective Inference-Time Search for Protein Sequence Design
Meghana Kshirsagar, Allen Nie, Ching-An Cheng +5
We introduce RosettaSearch, an inference-time multi-objective optimization approach for backbone conditioned protein sequence design. We use large language models (LLMs) as a gener…
POLCA: Stochastic Generative Optimization with LLM
Xuanfei Ren, Allen Nie, Tengyang Xie +1
Optimizing complex systems, ranging from LLM prompts to multi-turn agents, traditionally requires labor-intensive manual iteration. We formalize this challenge as a stochastic gene…
Understanding the Challenges in Iterative Generative Optimization with LLMs
Allen Nie, Xavier Daull, Zhiyi Kuang +10
Generative optimization uses large language models (LLMs) to iteratively improve artifacts (such as code, workflows or prompts) using execution feedback. It is a promising approach…
Formalizing Learning from Language Feedback with Provable Guarantees
Wanqiao Xu, Allen Nie, Ruijie Zheng +3
Interactively learning from observation and language feedback is an increasingly studied area driven by the emergence of large language model (LLM) agents. Despite impressive empir…
How to Solve Contextual Goal-Oriented Problems with Offline Datasets?
Ying Fan, Jingling Li, Adith Swaminathan +2
We present a novel method, Contextual goal-Oriented Data Augmentation (CODA), which uses commonly available unlabeled trajectories and context-goal pairs to solve Contextual Goal-O…
The Importance of Directional Feedback for LLM-based Optimizers
Allen Nie, Ching-An Cheng, Andrey Kolobov +1
We study the potential of using large language models (LLMs) as an interactive optimizer for solving maximization problems in a text space using natural language and numerical feed…
