LongReward: Improving Long-context Large Language Models with AI Feedback

ACL 2025long

Though significant advancements have been achieved in developing long-context large language models (LLMs), the compromised quality of LLM-synthesized data for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) often affects the long-context performance of SFT models and leads to inherent limitations. In principle, reinf…

Towards Efficient Exact Optimization of Language Model Alignment

ICML 2024poster

The alignment of language models with human preferences is vital for their application in real-world tasks. The problem is formulated as optimizing the model's policy to maximize the expected reward that reflects human preferences with minimal deviation from the initial policy. While considered as a…

A Semantic-based Method for Unsupervised Commonsense Question Answering

ACL 2021long

Unsupervised commonsense question answering is appealing since it does not rely on any labeled task data. Among existing work, a popular solution is to use pre-trained language models to score candidate choices directly conditioned on the question or context. However, such scores from language model…
