Training Chain-of-Thought via Latent-Variable Inference

no code implementations NeurIPS 2023 Du Phan, Matthew D. Hoffman, David Dohan, Sholto Douglas, Tuan Anh Le, Aaron Parisi, Pavel Sountsov, Charles Sutton, Sharad Vikram, Rif A. Saurous

Large language models (LLMs) solve problems more accurately and interpretably when instructed to work out the answer step by step using a ``chain-of-thought'' (CoT) prompt.

Reparameterized Variational Rejection Sampling

no code implementations26 Sep 2023 Martin Jankowiak, Du Phan

To expand the space of flexible variational families, we revisit Variational Rejection Sampling (VRS) [Grover et al., 2018], which combines a parametric proposal distribution with rejection sampling to define a rich non-parametric family of distributions that explicitly utilizes the known target distribution.

On Uncertainty Calibration and Selective Generation in Probabilistic Neural Summarization: A Benchmark Study

no code implementations17 Apr 2023 Polina Zablotskaia, Du Phan, Joshua Maynez, Shashi Narayan, Jie Ren, Jeremiah Liu

Modern deep models for summarization attains impressive benchmark performance, but they are prone to generating miscalibrated predictive uncertainty.

Composable Effects for Flexible and Accelerated Probabilistic Programming in NumPyro

3 code implementations24 Dec 2019 Du Phan, Neeraj Pradhan, Martin Jankowiak

NumPyro is a lightweight library that provides an alternate NumPy backend to the Pyro probabilistic programming language with the same modeling interface, language primitives and effect handling abstractions.
