Humbled to take on my 1st ACL Officer position, as Co-Chair of #ACL Ethics Committee. I look forward to promoting Responsible AI in #NLProc community & ensuring ethical research. In my term, I also hope to bridge the narrative w/ AI Safety and various social considerations of AI.

we encourage followup work to try to interpret (1)more LLM mistakes (e.g., handling temporally changing information), (2) "LLM Post-training" as encouraging one type of mechanism & suppressing the other, etc.Check out our papers and

Our "Competitions of Mechanisms" paper proposes an interesting way to interpret LLM behaviors thru how it handles multiple conflicting mechanisms. E.G., in-context knowledge vs. in-weights knowledge🧐This is an elegant philophical way of thinking --

📈 Analysis shows: Optimal selection ratio ~10-15%, our method selects longer responses with richer reward signals, robust across different difficulty-calculation models. 🧠 This could revolutionize how we scale LLM alignment with limited resources!.

💡Method: Rank preference pairs by DPO reward gaps→Select smallest gaps→Train with high-impact data.📊Amazing Results:.1) Outperforms four strong baselines on four popular preference datasets and two alignment tasks.2) Matches or exceeds full dataset performance in 67.5% cases

🎯 Core Innovation:.1) The first method specifically designed for preference data selection.2) Uses the DPO implicit reward mechanism to identify challenging samples.3) Theoretical Analysis for Smaller reward gaps→harder examples→better training signal.

🚀NEW PAPER: Difficulty-Based Preference Data Selection by DPO Implicit Reward Gap🔥We introduce a novel difficulty-based preference data selection method using DPO implicit reward gaps. Spoiler: Selecting the "hardest to distinguish" examples for max learning efficiency!
