The performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) critically depends on designing effective instructions, which is particularly challenging for black-box LLMs with inaccessible internal states. To this end, we introduce Learning to Instruct , a novel paradigm that formulates instruction optimization a
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have shown promise in enhancing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, these systems face challenges in effectively integrating external knowledge with the LLM’s internal knowledge, often leading to issues with misleading or unhelpful i…
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on vari- ous natural language tasks. However, they are trained on static corpora and their knowledge can become outdated quickly in the fast-changing world. This moti- vates the development of knowledge editing methods designed to upd…
Retrieval-augmented Large Language Models (LLMs) offer substantial benefits in enhancing performance across knowledge-intensive scenarios. However, these methods often struggle with complex inputs and encounter difficulties due to noisy knowledge retrieval, notably hindering model effectiveness. To…
Pre-trained language models, trained on large-scale corpora, demonstrate strong generalizability across various NLP tasks. Fine-tuning these models for specific tasks typically involves updating all parameters, which is resource-intensive. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, such as the…
Modeling customer shopping intentions is a crucial task for e-commerce, as it directly impacts user experience and engagement. Thus, accurately understanding customer preferences is essential for providing personalized recommendations. Session-based recommendation, which utilizes customer session d…
