Training Language Models via Neural Cellular Automata
Dan Lee, Seungwook Han, Akarsh Kumar +1
Pre-training is crucial for large language models (LLMs), as it is when most representations and capabilities are acquired. However, natural language pre-training has problems: hig…
General Intelligence Requires Reward-based Pretraining
Seungwook Han, Jyothish Pari, Samuel J. Gershman +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive real-world utility, exemplifying artificial useful intelligence (AUI). However, their ability to reason adaptively and rob…
Emergence and Effectiveness of Task Vectors in In-Context Learning: An Encoder Decoder Perspective
Seungwook Han, Jinyeop Song, Jeff Gore +1
Autoregressive transformers exhibit adaptive learning through in-context learning (ICL), which begs the question of how. Prior works have shown that transformers represent the ICL…
Unveiling the Secret Recipe: A Guide For Supervised Fine-Tuning Small LLMs
Aldo Pareja, Nikhil Shivakumar Nayak, Hao Wang +10
The rise of large language models (LLMs) has created a significant disparity: industrial research labs with their computational resources, expert teams, and advanced infrastructure…
Value Augmented Sampling for Language Model Alignment and Personalization
Seungwook Han, Idan Shenfeld, Akash Srivastava +2
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) to cater to different human preferences, learning new skills, and unlearning harmful behavior is an important problem. Search-based methods, s…
