To reach the optimal policy, that dataset would need to cover almost the entire prompt–response space, which is unrealistic given how vast the space of possible responses is. The authors cast alignment as a reverse-KL… 3. **[Word Embeddings Are Steers for Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/han-2024-word-embeddings-are-steers-language/)** *(2024 · 49 citations)* The paper asks what role output word embeddings play in how language models generate text, a question earlier work has mostly treated only at the level of individual word meaning. ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hanze Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hanze-dong/) ×2 - [Heng Ji](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/heng-ji/) ×2 - [Tong Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tong-zhang/) ×2 - [Wei Xiong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-xiong/) ×2 - [Bo Pang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-pang/) - [Caiming Xiong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/caiming-xiong/) - [Chenkai Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenkai-sun/) - [Chi Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chi-han/) - [Doyen Sahoo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/doyen-sahoo/) - [Han Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/han-zhao/) - [Haoxiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoxiang-wang/) - [Manling Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/manling-li/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 237 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [57 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nan-jiang/cited-by/).
