Same molecule, Different Knowledge: Cross-Identifier Binding Failures in LLMs For chemistry

Khouloud Saadi, Di Wang

Chemical AI workflows routinely represent the same molecule through multiple co-referring identifiers, including trivial names, IUPAC names, and SMILES, implicitly assuming that th…

One Teacher, Many Views: Reducing Reference Sensitivity in On-Policy Self-Distillation

Khouloud Saadi, Di Wang

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) improves reasoning by training a model on its own trajectories with dense token-level supervision from a privileged copy conditioned on a referen…

Validity-Calibrated Reasoning Distillation

Khouloud Saadi, Di Wang

Reasoning distillation aims to transfer multi-step reasoning capabilities from large language models to smaller, more efficient ones. While recent methods have shown promising gain…

What Should Feature Distillation Transfer in LLMs? A Task-Tangent Geometry View

Khouloud Saadi, Di Wang

Feature-based knowledge distillation aims to transfer intermediate representations from a teacher LLM model to a student. Existing approaches typically rely on direct feature match…

Dissecting Representation Misalignment in Contrastive Learning via Influence Function

Lijie Hu, Chenyang Ren, Huanyi Xie +5

Contrastive learning, commonly applied in large-scale multimodal models, often relies on data from diverse and often unreliable sources, which can include misaligned or mislabeled…

Effective prevention of semantic drift as angular distance in memory-less continual deep neural networks

Khouloud Saadi, Muhammad Taimoor Khan

Lifelong machine learning or continual learning models attempt to learn incrementally by accumulating knowledge across a sequence of tasks. Therefore, these models learn better and…
