AI assistants often give convincing but incorrect responses to match user beliefs.

problem Sycophancy in AI assistants that use human feedback.
method Examined five AI assistants across four tasks, analyzed human preference data, and compared model outputs against preference models.
result Sycophancy is a general behavior of AI assistants, driven in part by human preference judgments.

problem When can digital personas reliably approximate human survey findings?
method Using LISS panel, constructed personas from background variables and survey histories, tested against held-out post-cutoff answers.
result Digital personas improve alignment with human response distributions for stable attributes but fail for subjective responses.

The paper enhances preference learning by incorporating response time data.

problem Lack of temporal information in user decision-making for reward model learning.

result Response time-augmented approach reduces error rates from exponential to polynomial scaling, improving sample efficiency.

Framework for responsible LLM deployment with human involvement and decentralized technologies.

problem Challenges in deploying LLMs for high-stakes decisions, including data security and accountability.
method Interactive human involvement through multiple iterations, decentralized technologies, and automated auditing.
result Enhanced security and accountability in LLM deployment for financial decisions.

Recent years have seen a boom in interest in machine learning systems that can provide a human-understandable rationale for their predictions or decisions. However, exactly what kinds of explanation are truly human-interpretable remains poorly understood. This work advances our understanding of what makes explanations …

Paper explores limits and possibilities of aligning LLMs with human preferences.

problem Aligning LLMs with diverse human preferences to ensure fairness and informed outcomes.
method Analysis of probabilistic representation of human preferences and preservation of diverse preferences.
result LLMs can't fully align with human preferences using reward-based approaches due to Condorcet cycles, but mixed strategies are statistically possible.

Automates U.S. visa petition document classification and RFE response generation.

problem Manual effort in organizing visa petition documents and responding to RFEs.

Paper proposes a robust RLHF algorithm for LLMs, improving response preference over baselines.

problem Reward model misspecifications in RLHF for LLMs.
method Proposes a robust algorithm to reduce reward and policy estimator variance, theoretically and empirically validated.
result Consistently outperforms existing methods on LLM benchmark datasets, favoring 77-81% of responses over baselines.

In this paper, we present an experimental study for the classification of perceived human stress using non-invasive physiological signals. These include electroencephalography (EEG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and photoplethysmography (PPG). We conducted experiments consisting of steps including data acquisition, fe…

Model predicts anti-cancer drug responses using gene and molecular data.

problem Expensive and time-consuming cancer drug discovery and tailoring.
method Uses variational autoencoders and multi-layer perceptrons to encode gene expression and drug data.
result High average R2R^{2} of 0.83 and 0.845 in predicting drug responses for breast and pan-cancer cell lines, respectively.

Bayesian nonparametric models, such as Gaussian processes, provide a compelling framework for automatic statistical modelling: these models have a high degree of flexibility, and automatically calibrated complexity. However, automating human expertise remains elusive; for example, Gaussian processes with standard kerne…

Conformal prediction sets improve human decision making by quantifying model uncertainty.

problem Humans signal uncertainty and offer alternatives when unsure, but machine learning models often lack this feature.
method Conducted a randomized controlled trial with human subjects given conformal prediction sets.
result Human accuracy improves when given conformal prediction sets compared to fixed-size prediction sets.

Deep learning model classifies concurrent human interactions from WiFi data with high accuracy.

problem Classifying concurrent human interactions from WiFi data with high accuracy.
method Attention-BiGRU deep learning model using Multiple Input Multiple Output radio link.
result Maximum benchmark accuracy of 94% for a single subject-pair, 88% for ten subject pairs.

How to generate human like response is one of the most challenging tasks for artificial intelligence. In a real application, after reading the same post different people might write responses with positive or negative sentiment according to their own experiences and attitudes. To simulate this procedure, we propose a s…

PILAF optimizes reward models from human feedback for better policy alignment.

problem Creating accurate reward models from human feedback for policy optimization.
method Policy-Interpolated Learning for Aligned Feedback (PILAF) that explicitly aligns preference learning with maximizing underlying oracle reward.
result PILAF is optimal from both optimization and statistical perspectives, demonstrating strong performance in RLHF settings.

Motivation: Cell-biological processes are regulated through a complex network of interactions between genes and their products. The processes, their activating conditions, and the associated transcriptional responses are often unknown. Organism-wide modeling of network activation can reveal unique and shared mechanisms…
