Binary Classifier Optimization for Large Language Model Alignment

ACL 2025long

In real-world services such as ChatGPT, aligning models based on user feedback is crucial for improving model performance. However, due to the simplicity and convenience of providing feedback, users typically offer only basic binary signals, such as ‘thumbs-up’ or ‘thumbs-down’. Most existing alignm…

How Well Do Large Language Models Truly Ground?

NAACL 2024long

To reduce issues like hallucinations and lack of control in Large Language Models (LLMs), a common method is to generate responses by grounding on external contexts given as input, known as knowledge-augmented models. However, previous research often narrowly defines “grounding” as just having the c…

Semiparametric Token-Sequence Co-Supervision

ACL 2024long

In this work, we introduce a semiparametric token-sequence co-supervision training method. It trains a language model by simultaneously leveraging supervision from the traditional next token prediction loss which is calculated over the parametric token embedding space and the next sequence predictio…

TLCR: Token-Level Continuous Reward for Fine-grained Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

ACL 2024findings

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) leverages human preference data to train language models to align more closely with human essence. These human preference data, however, are labeled at the sequence level, creating a mismatch between sequence-level preference labels and tokens, which…

Efficient Latent Variable Modeling for Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue Generation

EMNLP 2023long findings

Knowledge-grounded dialogue generation requires first retrieving appropriate external knowledge based on a conversational context and then generating a response grounded on the retrieved knowledge. In general, these two sequential modules, a knowledge retriever and a response generator, have been se…

MELTR: Meta Loss Transformer for Learning To Fine-Tune Video Foundation Models

CVPR 2023poster

Foundation models have shown outstanding performance and generalization capabilities across domains. Since most studies on foundation models mainly focus on the pretraining phase, a naive strategy to minimize a single task-specific loss is adopted for fine-tuning. However, such fine-tuning methods d…

MSTR: Multi-Scale Transformer for End-to-End Human-Object Interaction Detection

CVPR 2022poster

Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection is the task of identifying a set of <human, object, interaction> triplets from an image. Recent work proposed transformer encoder-decoder architectures that successfully eliminated the need for many hand-designed components in HOI detection through end-to-end…

Video-Text Representation Learning via Differentiable Weak Temporal Alignment

CVPR 2022poster

Learning generic joint representations for video and text by a supervised method requires a prohibitively substantial amount of manually annotated video datasets. As a practical alternative, a large-scale but uncurated and narrated video dataset, HowTo100M, has recently been introduced. But it is st…

DramaQA: Character-Centered Video Story Understanding with Hierarchical QA

AAAI 2021technical

Despite recent progress on computer vision and natural language processing, developing a machine that can understand video story is still hard to achieve due to the intrinsic difficulty of video story. Moreover, researches on how to evaluate the degree of video understanding based on human cognitive…

Hypergraph Attention Networks for Multimodal Learning

CVPR 2020poster

One of the fundamental problems that arise in multimodal learning tasks is the disparity of information levels between different modalities. To resolve this problem, we propose Hypergraph Attention Networks (HANs), which define a common semantic space among the modalities with symbolic graphs and ex…

Hadamard Product for Low-rank Bilinear Pooling

ICLR 2017poster

Bilinear models provide rich representations compared with linear models. They have been applied in various visual tasks, such as object recognition, segmentation, and visual question-answering, to get state-of-the-art performances taking advantage of the expanded representations. However, bilinear…
