This paper presents a method for effectively testing transformer-based sentiment analysis networks using coverage criteria and input space partitioning. The approach utilizes emotionally relevant linguistic features and has shown an average increase of 16% in test coverage and a decrease of 6.5% in model accuracy, demonstrating its potential to improve the dependability of these systems in academic research.

MoFO: Momentum-Filtered Optimizer for Mitigating Forgetting in LLM Fine-Tuning (2407.20999v1)

The paper presents a new fine-tuning algorithm, MoFO, for large language models (LLMs) that mitigates knowledge forgetting during the fine-tuning stage. MoFO achieves similar performance to full-parameter training while keeping parameters closer to the pre-trained model, making it suitable for scenarios where pre-training data is unavailable. It also does not alter the original loss function, avoiding any potential impairment of model performance. This technique has the potential to significantly impact academic research in the field of LLM fine-tuning by improving performance and mitigating forgetting.
