Iterative preference optimization methods have demonstrated effectiveness in general instruction tuning tasks but haven't shown as significant improvements in reasoning tasks. Recently, offline techniques such as Discriminative Preference Optimization (DPO) have gained popularity due to their simplicity and efficiency. More advanced models advocate the iterative application of offline procedures to create new preference relations, further…
Multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), also known as fully-connected feedforward neural networks, are foundational models in deep learning. They are used to approximate nonlinear functions and despite their significance, they have a few drawbacks. One of the limitations is that in applications like transformers, MLPs tend to control parameters and they lack interpretability compared to attention layers.…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become crucial tools for various tasks, such as answering factual questions and generating content. However, their reliability is often questionable because they frequently provide confident but inaccurate responses. Currently, no standardized method exists for assessing the trustworthiness of their responses. To evaluate LLMs' performance and resilience to input changes, researchers…
