Aligning to What? Limits to RLHF Based Alignment

Logan Barnhart, Reza Akbarian Bafghi, Stephen Becker +1

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is increasingly used to align large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, the effectiveness of RLHF in addressin…

Fine Tuning without Catastrophic Forgetting via Selective Low Rank Adaptation

Reza Akbarian Bafghi, Carden Bagwell, Avinash Ravichandran +2

Adapting deep learning models to new domains often requires computationally intensive retraining and risks catastrophic forgetting. While fine-tuning enables domain-specific adapta…

Where Did Your Model Learn That? Label-free Influence for Self-supervised Learning

Nidhin Harilal, Amit Kiran Rege, Reza Akbarian Bafghi +2

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has revolutionized learning from large-scale unlabeled datasets, yet the intrinsic relationship between pretraining data and the learned representati…

Parameter Efficient Fine-tuning of Self-supervised ViTs without Catastrophic Forgetting

Reza Akbarian Bafghi, Nidhin Harilal, Claire Monteleoni +1

Artificial neural networks often suffer from catastrophic forgetting, where learning new concepts leads to a complete loss of previously acquired knowledge. We observe that this is…
