SUMMARY:CS & CLSP Seminar Series: Controlling Language Models
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nControlling language models is key to unlocking their full potential and making them useful for downstream tasks. Successfully deploying these models often requires both task-specific customization and rigorous auditing of their behavior. In this talk\, Xiang “Lisa” Li will begin by introducing a customization method called Prefix-Tuning\, which adapts language models by updating only 0.1% of their parameters. Next\, she will address the need for robust auditing by presenting a Frank-Wolfe-inspired algorithm for red-teaming language models\, which provides a principled framework for discovering diverse failure modes. Finally\, Li will rethink the root cause of these control challenges and propose a new generative model for text\, called Diffusion-LM\, which is controllable by design. \nSpeaker Biography\nXiang “Lisa” Li is a PhD candidate at Stanford University\, where she is advised by Percy Liang and Tatsunori Hashimoto. Her research focuses on developing methods to make language models more capable and controllable. Li is supported by a Two Sigma PhD Fellowship and a Stanford Graduate Fellowship\, and is the recipient of a Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing Best Paper Award. \nZoom link >>
