We study the problem of controlling the difficulty level of text generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) for contexts where end-users are not fully proficient, such as language learners. Using a novel framework, we evaluate the effectiveness of several key approaches for this task, including few-s…
Using the framework of boosting, we prove that all impurity-based decision tree learning algorithms, including the classic ID3, C4.5, and CART, are highly noise tolerant. Our guarantees hold under the strongest noise model of nasty noise, and we provide near-matching upper and lower bounds on the al…
Estimates of predictive uncertainty are important for accurate model-based planning and reinforcement learning. However, predictive uncertainties — especially ones derived from modern deep learning systems — can be inaccurate and impose a bottleneck on performance. This paper explores which uncertai…
