| Challenge: | Apertus is a fully open suite of large language models (LLMs) designed to address responsibility shortcomings in today’s open model ecosystem, namely data responsibility and global representation. |
| Approach: | They propose to release a fully open suite of large language models (LLMs) that address data responsibility and global representation shortcomings in today’s open model ecosystem. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is pretrained on openly available data and suppresses verbatim recall of data while retaining task performance. |
Personas as a Way to Model Truthfulness in Language Models (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models are trained on vast amounts of text from the internet, which contains factual and misleading information. |
| Approach: | They hypothesize that the pretraining data is generated by groups of (un)truthful agents whose outputs share common features and form a (un-truthfully persona) this allows the model to separate truth from falsehoods and controls the truthfulness of its generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can infer truth from falsehoods by finetuning its model on a set of facts and finetuned it on unseen topics. |
