Reverse Thinking Makes LLMs Stronger Reasoners

Justin Chih-Yao Chen, Zifeng Wang, Hamid Palangi +8

Reverse thinking plays a crucial role in human reasoning. Humans can reason not only from a problem to a solution but also in reverse, i.e., start from the solution and reason towa…

ASPEST: Bridging the Gap Between Active Learning and Selective Prediction

Jiefeng Chen, Jinsung Yoon, Sayna Ebrahimi +3

Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. These predictions can then be deferred to humans for further evaluation. A…

Test-Time Adaptation for Visual Document Understanding

Sayna Ebrahimi, Sercan O. Arik, Tomas Pfister

For visual document understanding (VDU), self-supervised pretraining has been shown to successfully generate transferable representations, yet, effective adaptation of such represe…

DualPrompt: Complementary Prompting for Rehearsal-free Continual Learning

Zifeng Wang, Zizhao Zhang, Sayna Ebrahimi +8

Continual learning aims to enable a single model to learn a sequence of tasks without catastrophic forgetting. Top-performing methods usually require a rehearsal buffer to store pa…

On-target Adaptation

Dequan Wang, Shaoteng Liu, Sayna Ebrahimi +2

Domain adaptation seeks to mitigate the shift between training on the \emph{source} domain and testing on the \emph{target} domain. Most adaptation methods rely on the source data…
