Dynamic LLM Routers are Often Misguided

Sam Wang, Julia White, Sahibzada Allahyar +3

Dynamic LLM routers promise to cut inference costs by sending each query to the cheapest model that can answer it correctly. We analyze six commercial routers across 14 settings on…

Correcting Stochastic Update Bias in Preconditioned Language Model Optimizers

Nikhil Nayak, Julia White, Urchade Zaratiana +7

Preconditioned optimizers are central to language model training, but their stochastic update rules are usually treated as direct approximations to population preconditioned descen…

An Autoregressive Text-to-Graph Framework for Joint Entity and Relation Extraction

Urchade Zaratiana, Nadi Tomeh, Pierre Holat +1

In this paper, we propose a novel method for joint entity and relation extraction from unstructured text by framing it as a conditional sequence generation problem. In contrast to…
