LLM Critics Help Catch Bugs in Mathematics: Towards a Better Mathematical Verifier with Natural Language Feedback

ACL 2025finding

In recent progress, mathematical verifiers have achieved success in mathematical reasoning tasks by validating the correctness of solutions generated by policy models. However, existing verifiers are trained with binary classification labels, which are not informative enough for the model to accurat…

MARGE: Improving Math Reasoning with Guided Exploration

ICML 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit strong potential in mathematical reasoning, yet their effectiveness is often limited by a shortage of high-quality queries. This limitation necessitates scaling up computational responses through self-generated data, yet current methods struggle due to spurious c…

ProcessBench: Identifying Process Errors in Mathematical Reasoning

ACL 2025long

As language models regularly make mistakes when solving math problems, automated identification of errors in the reasoning process becomes increasingly significant for their scalable oversight. In this paper, we introduce ProcessBench for measuring the ability to identify erroneous steps in mathemat…

Self-Steering Optimization: Autonomous Preference Optimization for Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

The key to effective alignment lies in high-quality preference data. Recent research has focused on automated alignment, which involves developing alignment systems with minimal human intervention. However, prior research has predominantly focused on developing data generation methods, while insuffi…

Self-play with Execution Feedback: Improving Instruction-following Capabilities of Large Language Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

One core capability of large language models~(LLMs) is to follow natural language instructions. However, the issue of automatically constructing high-quality training data to enhance the complex instruction-following abilities of LLMs without manual annotation remains unresolved. In this paper, we i…

#InsTag: Instruction Tagging for Analyzing Supervised Fine-tuning of Large Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) can understand and align with human instructions by supervised fine-tuning (SFT). It is commonly believed that diverse and complex SFT data are of the essence to enable good instruction-following abilities. However, such diversity and complexity are obscure a…

How Abilities in Large Language Models are Affected by Supervised Fine-tuning Data Composition

ACL 2024long

Large language models (LLMs) with enormous pre-training tokens and parameters emerge diverse abilities, including math reasoning, codegeneration, and instruction following. These abilities are further enhanced by supervised fine-tuning (SFT). While the open-source community has explored ad-hoc SFT f…

Large Language Models are Superpositions of All Characters: Attaining Arbitrary Role-play via Self-Alignment

ACL 2024long

Considerable efforts have been invested in augmenting the role-playing proficiency of open-source large language models (LLMs) by emulating proprietary counterparts. Nevertheless, we posit that LLMs inherently harbor role-play capabilities, owing to the extensive knowledge of characters and potentia…

MuggleMath: Assessing the Impact of Query and Response Augmentation on Math Reasoning

ACL 2024long

In math reasoning with large language models (LLMs), fine-tuning data augmentation by query evolution and diverse reasoning paths is empirically verified effective, profoundly narrowing the gap between open-sourced LLMs and cutting-edge proprietary LLMs. In this paper, we conduct an investigation fo…

Predicting Rewards Alongside Tokens: Non-disruptive Parameter Insertion for Efficient Inference Intervention in Large Language Model

EMNLP 2024main

Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) exhibit limitations such as generating unsafe responses, unreliable reasoning, etc. Existing inference intervention approaches attempt to mitigate these issues by finetuning additional models to produce calibration signals (such as rewards) that guide t…

Routing to the Expert: Efficient Reward-guided Ensemble of Large Language Models

NAACL 2024long

The complementary potential of Large Language Models (LLM) assumes off-the-shelf LLMs have heterogeneous expertise in a wide range of domains and tasks so that an ensemble of LLMs can achieve consistently better performance. Existing ensemble methods for LLMs mainly focus on reward model ranking of…

Multi-hop Evidence Retrieval for Cross-document Relation Extraction

ACL 2023findings

Relation Extraction (RE) has been extended to cross-document scenarios because many relations are not simply described in a single document. This inevitably brings the challenge of efficient open-space evidence retrieval to support the inference of cross-document relations,along with the challenge o…

PIVOINE: Instruction Tuning for Open-world Entity Profiling

EMNLP 2023long findings

This work considers the problem of Open-world Entity Profiling, a sub-domain of Open-world Information Extraction (Open-world IE). Unlike the conventional closed-world IE, Open-world IE is considered a more general situation where entities and relations could be beyond a predefined ontology. We seek…

Summarization as Indirect Supervision for Relation Extraction

EMNLP 2022finding

Relation extraction (RE) models have been challenged by their reliance on training data with expensive annotations. Considering that summarization tasks aim at acquiring concise expressions of synoptical information from the longer context, these tasks naturally align with the objective of RE, i.e.,…
