Direct Large Language Model Alignment Through Self-Rewarding Contrastive Prompt Distillation

no code implementations19 Feb 2024 Aiwei Liu, Haoping Bai, Zhiyun Lu, Xiang Kong, Simon Wang, Jiulong Shan, Meng Cao, Lijie Wen

In this paper, we propose a method to evaluate the response preference by using the output probabilities of response pairs under contrastive prompt pairs, which could achieve better performance on LLaMA2-7B and LLaMA2-13B compared to RLAIF.

BLT: Bidirectional Layout Transformer for Controllable Layout Generation

1 code implementation9 Dec 2021 Xiang Kong, Lu Jiang, Huiwen Chang, Han Zhang, Yuan Hao, Haifeng Gong, Irfan Essa

During inference, BLT first generates a draft layout from the input and then iteratively refines it into a high-quality layout by masking out low-confident attributes.

Fully Non-autoregressive Neural Machine Translation: Tricks of the Trade

1 code implementation Findings (ACL) 2021 Jiatao Gu, Xiang Kong

Fully non-autoregressive neural machine translation (NAT) is proposed to simultaneously predict tokens with single forward of neural networks, which significantly reduces the inference latency at the expense of quality drop compared to the Transformer baseline.

Incorporating a Local Translation Mechanism into Non-autoregressive Translation

1 code implementation EMNLP 2020 Xiang Kong, Zhisong Zhang, Eduard Hovy

In this work, we introduce a novel local autoregressive translation (LAT) mechanism into non-autoregressive translation (NAT) models so as to capture local dependencies among tar-get outputs.

Deep Transformers with Latent Depth

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Xi-An Li, Asa Cooper Stickland, Yuqing Tang, Xiang Kong

As an extension of this framework, we propose a novel method to train one shared Transformer network for multilingual machine translation with different layer selection posteriors for each language pair.

Decoupling Global and Local Representations via Invertible Generative Flows

1 code implementation ICLR 2021 Xuezhe Ma, Xiang Kong, Shanghang Zhang, Eduard Hovy

In this work, we propose a new generative model that is capable of automatically decoupling global and local representations of images in an entirely unsupervised setting, by embedding a generative flow in the VAE framework to model the decoder.

Decompressing Knowledge Graph Representations for Link Prediction

1 code implementation11 Nov 2019 Xiang Kong, Xianyang Chen, Eduard Hovy

Specifically, embeddings of entities and relationships are first decompressed to a more expressive and robust space by decompressing functions, then knowledge graph embedding models are trained in this new feature space.

MaCow: Masked Convolutional Generative Flow

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Xuezhe Ma, Xiang Kong, Shanghang Zhang, Eduard Hovy

Flow-based generative models, conceptually attractive due to tractability of both the exact log-likelihood computation and latent-variable inference, and efficiency of both training and sampling, has led to a number of impressive empirical successes and spawned many advanced variants and theoretical investigations.

An Adversarial Approach to High-Quality, Sentiment-Controlled Neural Dialogue Generation

no code implementations22 Jan 2019 Xiang Kong, Bohan Li, Graham Neubig, Eduard Hovy, Yiming Yang

In this work, we propose a method for neural dialogue response generation that allows not only generating semantically reasonable responses according to the dialogue history, but also explicitly controlling the sentiment of the response via sentiment labels.

Performance Improvements of Probabilistic Transcript-adapted ASR with Recurrent Neural Network and Language-specific Constraints

no code implementations13 Dec 2016 Xiang Kong, Preethi Jyothi, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson

Mismatched transcriptions have been proposed as a mean to acquire probabilistic transcriptions from non-native speakers of a language. Prior work has demonstrated the value of these transcriptions by successfully adapting cross-lingual ASR systems for different tar-get languages.

Landmark-based consonant voicing detection on multilingual corpora

no code implementations10 Nov 2016 Xiang Kong, Xuesong Yang, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson, Jeung-Yoon Choi, Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel

Three consonant voicing classifiers were developed: (1) manually selected acoustic features anchored at a phonetic landmark, (2) MFCCs (either averaged across the segment or anchored at the landmark), and(3) acoustic features computed using a convolutional neural network (CNN).
