Language-Guided Tuning: Configuration Optimization for Automated ML Research

Language-Guided Tuning is introduced, a framework that employs multi-agent Large Language Models to automatically optimize configurations through natural language reasoning to demonstrate substantial improvements over traditional optimization methods while maintaining high interpretability.

Gender, Race, and Intersectional Bias in Resume Screening via Language Model Retrieval

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.

PQMass: Probabilistic Assessment of the Quality of Generative Models using Probability Mass Estimation

PQMass provides a statistically rigorous method for assessing the performance of a single generative model or the comparison of multiple competing models and scales well to moderately high-dimensional data and thus obviates the need for feature extraction in practical applications.

ICON Decomposition: Auditing Deep Neural Networks with Multivariate Variance-based Concept-level Explanations

CON decomposition is introduced, which quantifies how much of a layer's variance each concept explains given all other concepts and the outcome, and how much none of them explains, yielding layer-comparable, calibrated scores that suppress false positives.

It's a matter of timescale: non-linear utility in successor features and multi-objective planning and learning

This paper argues that the current main approaches in multi-objective RL (SER and ESR), and successor features, are insufficient, and motivates that this can indeed be the case by an example, leading to a new perspective, and a significant and non-trivial gap in the literature.

Learning Mixtures of Plackett-Luce Models for Multi-Objective Alignment

We consider the problem of learning a mixture of $k$ Plackett-Luce models given multi-way ranking responses from annotators that may represent heterogeneous underlying preferences. This problem has many applications in AI alignment and preference optimization. Prior work has studied mixtures of Bradley-Terry models from pairwise comparisons. However, uncovering mixture models is theoretically unidentifiable when $k$ exceeds $m/2$, where $m$ is the length of a ranking. We propose an efficient implementation to address this limitation, which involves first augmenting the rankings to a larger size by generating new responses from a base language model, followed by a gradient-based estimation to reduce inference cost in the input embedding space. Based on this procedure, we then design an expectation-maximization algorithm with these two steps to fit a mixture of Plackett-Luce models, called MoPLEx. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify this approach. First, we show that the gradient-based approximation estimates true probabilities with less than 5% error on models with up to 34 billion parameters. Second, we show that MoPLEx improves clustering and ranking accuracy by an average of 43.7% and 15.2% over baselines using single ranking and mixtures of Bradley-Terry models, on preference optimization datasets. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of MoPLEx for tackling multi-way rankings from heterogeneous preferences through measuring alignment between gradients.

DeMMO: Longitudinal and Cross-Disease Modelling of Digital Mobility Outcomes via Multi-Task Learning

DeMMO is proposed, an interpretable framework for longitudinal, multi-disease, and multi-outcome learning that infers signed relations directly from learned longitudinal DMO-outcome mappings, thereby enabling selective information sharing across cohorts without requiring paired participants.

FAMPWQ: Fisher Information-based Adaptive Mixed Precision Weight Quantization for Effective LLM Inference

A novel Fisher information-based Adaptive Mixed Precision Weight Quantization approach, i.e., FAMPWQ, which performs layer-adaptive weight quantization for effective LLM inference on commodity GPUs and a reinforcement learning-based bit-width allocator in FAMPWQ, which generates an adaptive bit-width allocation strategy based on the Fisher information sensitivity metric.
