    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    We tackle the problem of aligning pre-trained large language models (LMs) with human preferences. If we view text generation as a sequential decision-making problem, reinforcement learning (RL) appears to be a natural conceptual framework. However, …

  5. Self-Instruct: Aligning Language Models with Self-Generated Instructions

    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Large "instruction-tuned" language models (i.e., finetuned to respond to instructions) have demonstrated a remarkable ability to generalize zero-shot to new tasks. Nevertheless, they depend heavily on human-written instruction data that is often limited in quantity, …

  6. ART: Automatic multi-step reasoning and tool-use for large language models

    2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Large language models (LLMs) can perform complex reasoning in few- and zero-shot settings by generating intermediate chain of thought (CoT) reasoning steps. Further, each reasoning step can rely on external tools to support computation beyond …

    2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    We present OLMoTrace, the first system that traces the outputs of language models back to their full, multi-trillion-token training data in real time. OLMoTrace finds and shows verbatim matches between segments of language model output …

  11. Parsing Algebraic Word Problems into Equations

    2015 · Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics

    This paper formalizes the problem of solving multi-sentence algebraic word problems as that of generating and scoring equation trees. We use integer linear programming to generate equation trees and score their likelihood by learning local …

  12. Learning Knowledge Graphs for Question Answering through Conversational Dialog

    2015

    We describe how a question-answering system can learn about its domain from conversational dialogs. Our system learns to relate concepts in science questions to propositions in a fact corpus, stores new concepts and relations in …

  16. Multi-hop Reading Comprehension through Question Decomposition and Rescoring

    2019

    Multi-hop Reading Comprehension (RC) requires reasoning and aggregation across several paragraphs. We propose a system for multi-hop RC that decomposes a compositional question into simpler sub-questions that can be answered by off-the-shelf single-hop RC models. …

  17. Real-Time Open-Domain Question Answering with Dense-Sparse Phrase Index

    2019

    Existing open-domain question answering (QA) models are not suitable for real-time usage because they need to process several long documents on-demand for every input query, which is computationally prohibitive. In this paper, we introduce query-agnostic …

  18. Compositional Questions Do Not Necessitate Multi-hop Reasoning

    2019

    Multi-hop reading comprehension (RC) questions are challenging because they require reading and reasoning over multiple paragraphs. We argue that it can be difficult to construct large multi-hop RC datasets. For example, even highly compositional questions …
