Large-scale multilingual evaluations, such as MEGA, often include only a handful of African languages due to the scarcity of high-qualityevaluation data and the limited discoverability of existing African datasets. This lack of representation hinders comprehensive LLM evaluation across a diverse ran…
How can Large Language Models (LLMs) be aligned with human intentions and values? A typical solution is to gather human preference on model outputs and finetune the LLMs accordingly while ensuring that updates do not deviate too far from a reference model. Recent approaches, such as direct preferenc…
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is an effective technique that leverages pairwise preference data (one chosen and rejected response per prompt) to align LLMs to human preferences. In practice, multiple responses could exist for a given prompt with varying quality relative to each other. We prop…
Multilingual models are often particularly dependent on scaling to generalize to a growing number of languages. Compression techniques are widely relied upon to reconcile the growth in model size with real world resource constraints, but compression can have a disparate effect on model performance f…
