2024It is well known that selecting samples with large losses/gradients can significantly reduce the number of training steps. However, the selection overhead is often too high to yield any meaningful gains in terms of overall training time. In this work, we focus on the greedy approach of selecting samples with large approximate losses instead of exact losses in order to reduce the selection overhead. For

ICML 2024 Workshop on NextGenAISafety2024Large language models (LLMs) exhibit excellent ability to understand human languages, but do they also understand their own language that appears gibberish to us? In this work we delve into this question, aiming to uncover the mechanisms underlying such behavior in LLMs. We employ the Greedy Coordinate Gradient optimizer to craft prompts that compel LLMs to generate coherent responses from seemingly nonsensical

2024Large models training is plagued by the intense compute cost and limited hardware memory. A practical solution is low-precision representation but is troubled by loss in numerical accuracy and unstable training rendering the model less useful. We argue that low-precision floating points can perform well provided the error is properly compensated at the critical locations in the training process. We propose

ACL 2024 Workshop on NLP for Conversational AI2024Continued improvement of conversational assistants in knowledge-rich domains like E-Commerce requires large volumes of realistic high-quality conversation data to power increasingly sophisticated LLM chatbots, dialogue managers, response rankers, and recommenders. The problem is worse for multi-modal interactions in realistic conversational product search and recommendation. Here, an artificial sales agent

SIGIR 2024 Workshop on eCommerce2024E-commerce stores typically test changes to ranking algorithms through rigorous A/B testing which requires a change to satisfy some predefined success criteria on multiple metrics. This problem of simultaneously optimization of multiple metrics is multi-objective-optimization (MOO). A common method for MOO is to choose a set of weights to scalarize the multiple metrics into one ranking objective. However
