Incentivizing High-Quality Human Annotations with Golden Questions

Shang Liu, Zhongze Cai, Hanzhao Wang +2

Human-annotated data plays a vital role in training large language models (LLMs), such as supervised fine-tuning and human preference alignment. However, it is not guaranteed that…

Towards Better Statistical Understanding of Watermarking LLMs

Zhongze Cai, Shang Liu, Hanzhao Wang +2

In this paper, we study the problem of watermarking large language models (LLMs). We consider the trade-off between model distortion and detection ability and formulate it as a con…
