The paper presents a new benchmark dataset, LongIns, to evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) in different scenarios. This dataset focuses on the reasoning abilities of LLMs and reveals their actual supported context length. The evaluations on existing LLMs show that even top-performing models struggle with multi-hop reasoning under short context windows. LongIns has the potential to significantly impact the assessment of LLMs in academic research.
The paper presents a new approach, called Grass, for training and finetuning large language models (LLMs) that addresses the bottleneck of limited GPU memory. By leveraging sparse projections, Grass significantly reduces memory usage and leads to substantial improvements in throughput. This technique has the potential to greatly impact academic research in LLM training and finetuning, allowing for more efficient and faster processing of large models.
This paper presents a framework for investigating the psychological attributes of Large Language Models (LLMs), which have shown exceptional task-solving capabilities and are increasingly being integrated into society. The framework includes identifying psychological dimensions, curating assessment datasets, and validating results. The comprehensive psychometrics benchmark for LLMs covers six dimensions and reveals a broad spectrum of psychological attributes. This thorough assessment has the potential to provide reliable evaluation and applications in AI and social sciences.
This paper presents a new technique for distributed training of large Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) that reduces data communication between training machines without sacrificing accuracy. The proposed variable compression scheme is shown to converge to a solution equivalent to full communication, making it a promising approach for improving training speeds and performance in GNN research.
This paper presents a new approach to understanding memorization in language models by breaking it down into three categories: recitation, reconstruction, and recollection. By analyzing these factors, the authors are able to construct a predictive model for memorization and identify the specific influences on each category. This approach has the potential to greatly impact academic research on language models and improve our understanding of memorization in this context.
This paper explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate persuasive language, which is commonly used in various forms of media. By creating a new dataset and training a regression model, the authors demonstrate the ability to measure and benchmark the persuasive capabilities of LLMs across different domains. The study also highlights the impact of system prompts on the persuasive language produced by LLMs. These findings have the potential to significantly impact future research on LLMs and their use in generating persuasive text.
The paper presents a new approach, called Lamini-1, for mitigating hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs). Through extensive experiments and theoretical analysis, the authors show that traditional methods of grounding LLMs in external knowledge sources are not effective in eliminating hallucinations. Lamini-1, which utilizes a massive Mixture of Memory Experts (MoME), has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of LLMs in academic research.
The paper presents a new framework for parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) using structured unrestricted-rank matrices (SURM). This approach allows for updating only a small number of parameters, resulting in significant improvements in accuracy while using a smaller parameter budget. SURMs have the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by providing a more flexible and efficient alternative to popular methods such as Adapters and LoRA.
LLM-ARC combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with an Automated Reasoning Critic (ARC) to enhance logical reasoning capabilities. Using an Actor-Critic method, LLM-ARC generates logic programs and tests for semantic correctness, with the Critic providing feedback for iterative refinement. Results show significant improvements over LLM-only baselines, demonstrating the potential for lasting impact in academic research on natural language reasoning tasks.
The paper presents MG-LLaVA, a multi-modal large language model that enhances visual processing capabilities by incorporating a multi-granularity vision flow. This includes low-resolution, high-resolution, and object-centric features, as well as an additional high-resolution visual encoder and object-level features. Trained on publicly available data through instruction tuning, MG-LLaVA outperforms existing models of similar size, demonstrating its potential to significantly improve perception tasks in academic research.
