Incremental Computation for Efficient Programmable Inference in Probabilistic Programs
Fabian Zaiser, Jack Czenszak, Martin C. Rinard +2
Inference in probabilistic programs generally requires evaluating many possible program executions to find those of high posterior density. To scale inference to large datasets, it…
GenMatter: Perceiving Physical Objects with Generative Matter Models
Eric Li, Arijit Dasgupta, Yoni Friedman +5
Human visual perception offers valuable insights for understanding computational principles of motion-based scene interpretation. Humans robustly detect and segment moving entities…
Belief Attribution as Mental Explanation: The Role of Accuracy, Informativity, and Causality
Lance Ying, Almog Hillel, Ryan Truong +3
A key feature of human theory-of-mind is the ability to attribute beliefs to other agents as mentalistic explanations for their behavior. But given the wide variety of beliefs that…
Syntactic and Semantic Control of Large Language Models via Sequential Monte Carlo
João Loula, Benjamin LeBrun, Li Du +12
A wide range of LM applications require generating text that conforms to syntactic or semantic constraints. Imposing such constraints can be naturally framed as probabilistic condi…
Self-Steering Language Models
Gabriel Grand, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Vikash K. Mansinghka +2
While test-time reasoning enables language models (LMs) to tackle complex tasks, searching or planning in natural language can be slow, costly, and error-prone. But even when LMs s…
Fast Controlled Generation from Language Models with Adaptive Weighted Rejection Sampling
Benjamin Lipkin, Benjamin LeBrun, Jacob Hoover Vigly +9
The dominant approach to generating from language models subject to some constraint is locally constrained decoding (LCD), incrementally sampling tokens at each time step such that…
