More than 50% of the reported reasoning abilities of LLMs might not be true reasoning. How do we evaluate models trained on the entire internet? I.e., what novel questions can we ask of something that has seen all written knowledge? Below: new eval, results, code, and paper.…
Ever wondered how your LLM splits numbers into tokens? and how that might affect performance? Check out this cool project I did with @djstrouse: Tokenization counts: the impact of tokenization on arithmetic in frontier LLMs. Read on 🔎⏬
and “alignment” is the new name for RL for structured prediction… (I guess that is not the originally intended meaning but that is what it turns out to be now)

@DrJimFan We did Sora+Genie but at a much more humble scale :p arxiv.org/abs/2402.01695 Still we realize that the problem of grounding language to dynamics is extremely difficult. With immense data, maybe you will generalize in distribution well, but achieving true compositional…

At CISS hearing nice talks on model-based RL. MBRL has the reputation of bad "error compounding", but I realize recently that its theoretical root may be different from what ppl think... The problem may not be error accumulation over *time*, but the one-step error itself! 1/
It's true, and the need for single-modality ablations during model building and dataset curation extends beyond classification tasks into actions too. A few years ago we found that many "embodied" agents end up either ignoring language OR ignoring vision. arxiv.org/abs/1811.00613
I have been working on vision+language models (VLMs) for a decade. And every few years, this community re-discovers the same lesson -- that on difficult tasks, VLMs regress to being nearly blind! Visual content provides minor improvement to a VLM over an LLM, even when these…

In case this gets buried in the thread, this is an important result for people looking into RLAIF and LLM-as-a-Judge: GPT-4 rating is an important optimizing signal, and provides extra supervision than the demonstration from it. We still observe the correlation between GPT-4 and…
It also uncovers an interesting challenge! 🤔LLM-based eval tends to overestimate the abilities of language agents specifically trained for social interaction. Time to think about more advanced evaluation methods to assess social intelligence! ⚖️

Today, we're announcing Claude 3, our next generation of AI models. The three state-of-the-art models—Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Haiku—set new industry benchmarks across reasoning, math, coding, multilingual understanding, and vision.
I totally agree. RL doesn’t have to be a method, it can just be a setting. Alignment also doesn’t have to be a narrow set of methods. It should be a problem setting.
@PandaAshwinee alignment is meant to be a method-agnostic term. it is a goal, an outcome. now it is (mis)used to denote a narrow set of methods.
More than 50% of the reported reasoning abilities of LLMs might not be true reasoning. How do we evaluate models trained on the entire internet? I.e., what novel questions can we ask of something that has seen all written knowledge? Below: new eval, results, code, and paper.…
Ever wondered how your LLM splits numbers into tokens? and how that might affect performance? Check out this cool project I did with @djstrouse: Tokenization counts: the impact of tokenization on arithmetic in frontier LLMs. Read on 🔎⏬
Sometimes I wonder if I can ever go back to using this app like I did in 2009. Yelling about finding a new album I like or how I’m feeling.
Convince me I'm wrong: Generative AI is the new name for structured prediction. An interviewer asked for a def of GenAI & offhand: "an AI system that generates a complex output at once (vs a single prediction)" I later realized that's ≈identical to the def of SP I'd give ~2005
@khanhxuannguyen We found that plugging +1/-1 rewards into PPO-Clip can give you surprisingly good results (on par with DPO until Llama-30b). Partly what inspired the KTO objective: arxiv.org/abs/2402.01306
@nanjiang_cs @rajammanabrolu @SOURADIPCHAKR18 @khanhxuannguyen I agree with @rajammanabrolu that language is unlikely a bandit problem. It's just posed this way in current methods. So, yea, so-called RLHF and friends are all bandit. But that's not to confuse with how the phenomena you are observing (natural language and its learning cues)
@yoavartzi @rajammanabrolu @SOURADIPCHAKR18 @khanhxuannguyen what I really want to say (and this holds much more broadly) is that we should avoid confusing problem formulation with (popular/common) algs. Saying prompt-response LLM is bandit does not mean we must use standard bandit algs; it’s just a framework for thinking and reasoning
@yoavartzi @rajammanabrolu @SOURADIPCHAKR18 @khanhxuannguyen but for the current prompt-response paradigm, bandits as an math formulation is more than enough to capture it. Even when breaking it down to multi-step helps, it can be viewed as a special structure in the bandits that can be leveraged.
@yoavartzi @rajammanabrolu @SOURADIPCHAKR18 @khanhxuannguyen I think langauge in general (even in the ctx of llms) is def’n not a bandit, but that’s when you optimize for multi-turn conversation and consider counterfactuals (if I say A instead of B, how would user react, and how does that affect downstream conversation?)…
@khanhxuannguyen Yeah actually, it makes sense. I read your articles and threads. Very insightful
@khanhxuannguyen @rajammanabrolu Agree it's all bandits. If you don't make new observations in between, it's just one giant action. _Sometimes_ it seems useful to (conceptually & algorithmically) break down the a large action into multi-steps, but I've been always been skeptical...
