A Generalized Alternating Method for Bilevel
Bilevel optimization has recently regained interest owing to its applications in emerging machine learning fields such as hyperparameter optimization, meta-learning, and reinforcement learning. Recent results have shown that simple alternating (implicit) gradient-based algorithms can match the convergence rate of single-level gradient descent (GD) when addressing bilevel problems with a strongly convex lower-level objective. However, it remains unclear whether this result can be generalized to bilevel problems beyond this basic setting.
IDGen: ItemDiscriminationInduced PromptGenerationforLLMEvaluation
Item Discrimination (ID) theory, which is widely used in educational assessment, measures the ability of individual test items to differentiate between high and low performers. Inspired by this theory, wepropose anID-induced prompt synthesis frameworkforevaluating LLMs to ensure the evaluation set can continually update and refine according to model abilities.
