Reasoning Elicitation in Language Models via Counterfactual Feedback

no code implementations2 Oct 2024 Alihan Hüyük, Xinnuo Xu, Jacqueline Maasch, Aditya V. Nori, Javier González

Second, we propose several fine-tuning approaches that aim to elicit better reasoning mechanisms, in the sense of the proposed metrics.

Beyond Flatland: A Geometric Take on Matching Methods for Treatment Effect Estimation

no code implementations9 Sep 2024 Melanie F. Pradier, Javier González

First, we learn a low-dimensional, latent Riemannian manifold that accounts for uncertainty and geometry of the original input data.

Does Reasoning Emerge? Examining the Probabilities of Causation in Large Language Models

no code implementations15 Aug 2024 Javier González, Aditya V. Nori

Recent advances in AI have been significantly driven by the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to solve complex problems in ways that resemble human thinking.

Beyond Words: A Mathematical Framework for Interpreting Large Language Models

no code implementations6 Nov 2023 Javier González, Aditya V. Nori

Large language models (LLMs) are powerful AI tools that can generate and comprehend natural language text and other complex information.

Dynamic Causal Bayesian Optimization

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Virginia Aglietti, Neil Dhir, Javier González, Theodoros Damoulas

This paper studies the problem of performing a sequence of optimal interventions in a causal dynamical system where both the target variable of interest and the inputs evolve over time.

BayesIMP: Uncertainty Quantification for Causal Data Fusion

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Siu Lun Chau, Jean-François Ton, Javier González, Yee Whye Teh, Dino Sejdinovic

While causal models are becoming one of the mainstays of machine learning, the problem of uncertainty quantification in causal inference remains challenging.

Learning Inconsistent Preferences with Gaussian Processes

no code implementations6 Jun 2020 Siu Lun Chau, Javier González, Dino Sejdinovic

We revisit widely used preferential Gaussian processes by Chu et al.(2005) and challenge their modelling assumption that imposes rankability of data items via latent utility function values.

Causal Bayesian Optimization

no code implementations24 May 2020 Virginia Aglietti, Xiaoyu Lu, Andrei Paleyes, Javier González

This paper studies the problem of globally optimizing a variable of interest that is part of a causal model in which a sequence of interventions can be performed.

Bandit optimisation of functions in the Matérn kernel RKHS

no code implementations28 Jan 2020 David Janz, David R. Burt, Javier González

We consider the problem of optimising functions in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of a Mat\'ern kernel with smoothness parameter $\nu$ over the domain $[0, 1]^d$ under noisy bandit feedback.

Deep Gaussian Processes for Multi-fidelity Modeling

1 code implementation18 Mar 2019 Kurt Cutajar, Mark Pullin, Andreas Damianou, Neil Lawrence, Javier González

Multi-fidelity methods are prominently used when cheaply-obtained, but possibly biased and noisy, observations must be effectively combined with limited or expensive true data in order to construct reliable models.

Bayesian Optimization with Tree-structured Dependencies

no code implementations ICML 2017 Rodolphe Jenatton, Cedric Archambeau, Javier González, Matthias Seeger

The benefit of leveraging this structure is twofold: we explore the search space more efficiently and posterior inference scales more favorably with the number of observations than Gaussian Process-based approaches published in the literature.

Preferential Bayesian Optmization

no code implementations ICML 2017 Javier González, Zhenwen Dai, Andreas Damianou, Neil D. Lawrence

We present a new framework for this scenario that we call Preferential Bayesian Optimization (PBO) and that allows to find the optimum of a latent function that can only be queried through pairwise comparisons, so-called duels.

Correcting boundary over-exploration deficiencies in Bayesian optimization with virtual derivative sign observations

1 code implementation4 Apr 2017 Eero Siivola, Aki Vehtari, Jarno Vanhatalo, Javier González, Michael Riis Andersen

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a global optimization strategy designed to find the minimum of an expensive black-box function, typically defined on a compact subset of $\mathcal{R}^d$, by using a Gaussian process (GP) as a surrogate model for the objective.
