  • Controlled Generation for Large Foundation Models

    Abstract: Recent advances in large foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models, have demonstrated impressive capabilities. However, to truly align these models with user feedback or maximize real-world objectives, it is crucial to exert control over the decoding processes, in order to steer the distribution of generated output. In this talk, we will explore methods and theory for controlled generation within LLMs and diffusion models. We will discuss various modalities or achieving this control, focusing on applications such as alignment of LLM, accelerated inference, transfer learning, and diffusion-based optimizer.
