Trusted Source Alignment in Large Language Models

no code implementations12 Nov 2023 Vasilisa Bashlovkina, Zhaobin Kuang, Riley Matthews, Edward Clifford, Yennie Jun, William W. Cohen, Simon Baumgartner

Large language models (LLMs) are trained on web-scale corpora that inevitably include contradictory factual information from sources of varying reliability.

Stochastic Learning for Sparse Discrete Markov Random Fields with Controlled Gradient Approximation Error

no code implementations12 May 2020 Sinong Geng, Zhaobin Kuang, Jie Liu, Stephen Wright, David Page

We study the $L_1$-regularized maximum likelihood estimator/estimation (MLE) problem for discrete Markov random fields (MRFs), where efficient and scalable learning requires both sparse regularization and approximate inference.

Temporal Poisson Square Root Graphical Models

no code implementations ICML 2018 Sinong Geng, Zhaobin Kuang, Peggy Peissig, David Page

We propose temporal Poisson square root graphical models (TPSQRs), a generalization of Poisson square root graphical models (PSQRs) specifically designed for modeling longitudinal event data.

Ivy: Instrumental Variable Synthesis for Causal Inference

no code implementations11 Apr 2020 Zhaobin Kuang, Frederic Sala, Nimit Sohoni, Sen Wu, Aldo Córdova-Palomera, Jared Dunnmon, James Priest, Christopher Ré

To relax these assumptions, we propose Ivy, a new method to combine IV candidates that can handle correlated and invalid IV candidates in a robust manner.

A Simple Text Mining Approach for Ranking Pairwise Associations in Biomedical Applications

no code implementations12 Jun 2019 Finn Kuusisto, John Steill, Zhaobin Kuang, James Thomson, David Page, Ron Stewart

We present a simple text mining method that is easy to implement, requires minimal data collection and preparation, and is easy to use for proposing ranked associations between a list of target terms and a key phrase.

An Efficient Pseudo-likelihood Method for Sparse Binary Pairwise Markov Network Estimation

no code implementations27 Feb 2017 Sinong Geng, Zhaobin Kuang, David Page

In this way, many insights and optimization procedures for sparse logistic regression can be applied to the learning of discrete Markov networks.

Computational Drug Repositioning Using Continuous Self-controlled Case Series

no code implementations20 Apr 2016 Zhaobin Kuang, James Thomson, Michael Caldwell, Peggy Peissig, Ron Stewart, David Page

Computational Drug Repositioning (CDR) is the task of discovering potential new indications for existing drugs by mining large-scale heterogeneous drug-related data sources.
