Using Probabilistic Programs to Train Inductive Reasoning in Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, Akshay K. Jagadish, Brenden M. Lake +1

Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) for reasoning typically focuses on deductive tasks such as mathematics and coding where correctness is verifiable. Yet, many real-world r…

Meta-Learning at Scale for Large Language Models via Low-Rank Amortized Bayesian Meta-Learning

Liyi Zhang, Jake Snell, Thomas L. Griffiths

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a cost-effective way to incorporate information from a specific dataset. However, when a problem require…

What Should Embeddings Embed? Autoregressive Models Represent Latent Generating Distributions

Liyi Zhang, Michael Y. Li, R. Thomas McCoy +3

Autoregressive language models have demonstrated a remarkable ability to extract latent structure from text. The embeddings from large language models have been shown to capture as…

Identifying and Mitigating the Influence of the Prior Distribution in Large Language Models

Liyi Zhang, Veniamin Veselovsky, R. Thomas McCoy +1

Large language models (LLMs) sometimes fail to respond appropriately to deterministic tasks -- such as counting or forming acronyms -- because the implicit prior distribution they…
