Machine learning models implemented in hardware on physical devices may be deployed for a long time. The computational abilities of the device may be limited and become outdated with respect to newer improvements. Because of the size of ML…

In human learning, an effective skill in improving learning outcomes is learning by teaching: a learner deepens his/her understanding of a topic by teaching this topic to others. In this paper, we aim to borrow this teaching-driven learning…

Natural Language Feedback (NLF) is an increasingly popular mechanism for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) to human preferences. Despite the diversity of the information it can convey, NLF methods are often hand-designed and arbitrary,…
