Popular vs. reliable sources—a blind spot in how LLMs assess information
Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems underpinning ChatGPT and similar conversational platforms, are now used by many people worldwide to find and summarize information and generate different types of text. Despite their widespread use, these models still have notable limitations.
Fine-tuning remains a cornerstone technique for adapting general-purpose pre-trained large language models (LLMs) models (also called foundation models) to serve more specialized, high-value downstream tasks, even as zero- and few-shot methods gain traction.
Current Large Language Models (LLMs) are predominantly designed with English as the primary language, and even the few that are multilingual tend to exhibit strong English-centric biases. Much like speakers who might produce awkward expressions when learning a second language, LLMs often generate unnatural outputs in non-English languages, reflecting English-centric…
Preference alignment has become a crucial component in enhancing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet its impact in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) remains comparatively underexplored. Similar to language models, MLLMs for image understanding tasks encounter challenges like hallucination. In MLLMs, hallucination can occur not only by stating…
