Regret Pre-training boosts language model knowledge grounding

Researchers have developed a new self-supervised learning framework called Regret Pre-training to improve causal language models. This method leverages future information typically unavailable during standard causal training by using a dual-view architecture. The framework trains a model to generate both a causal student distribution and a future-conditioned teacher distribution, minimizing the divergence between them to transfer future-aware signals. Experiments on nine downstream tasks showed significant accuracy improvements, with one configuration boosting BoolQ performance by over 18 percentage points. AI

IMPACT This framework could lead to more knowledgeable and accurate language models by effectively utilizing all available training data.

    Regret Pre-training: Bridging Prior and Posterior Views for Enhanced Knowledge Grounding

    arXiv:2606.03080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal language models factorize sequence probabilities using only preceding context, leaving future information unexploited during training despite its availability in the training data. This paper introduces Regret Pre-training,…
