This paper introduces ConceptMath, a bilingual (English and Chinese), fine-grained benchmark that evaluates concept-wise mathematical reasoning of Large Language Models (LLMs). Unlike traditional benchmarks that evaluate general mathematical reasoning with an average accuracy, ConceptMath systematically organizes math problems under a hierarchy of math concepts, so that mathematical reasoning can be evaluated at different granularity with concept-wise accuracies. Based on our ConcepthMath, we evaluate a broad range of LLMs, and we observe existing LLMs, though achieving high average accuracies on traditional benchmarks, exhibit significant performance variations across different math concepts and may even fail catastrophically on the most basic ones. Besides, we also introduce an efficient fine-tuning strategy to enhance the weaknesses of existing LLMs. Finally, we hope ConceptMath could guide the developers to understand the fine-grained mathematical abilities of their models and facilitate the growth of foundation models.
Typically, training LLMs with long context sizes is computationally expensive, requiring extensive training hours and GPU resources. Existing long-context extension methods usually need additional training procedures to support corresponding long-context windows, where the long-context training data (e.g., 32k) is needed, and high GPU training costs are assumed. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an Efficient and Extreme length extension method for Large Language Models, called E 2 -LLM, with only one training procedure and dramatically reduced computation cost, which also removes the need to collect long-context data. Concretely, first, the training data of our E 2 -LLM only requires a short length (e.g., 4k), which reduces the tuning cost greatly. Second, the training procedure on the short training context window is performed only once time, and we can support different evaluation context windows at inference. Third, in E 2 - LLM, based on RoPE position embeddings, we introduce two different augmentation methods on the scale and position index parameters for different samples in training. It aims to make the model more robust to the different relative differences when directly interpolating the arbitrary context length at inference. Comprehensive experimental results on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our E 2 -LLM on challenging long-context tasks.
Multimodal supervision has achieved promising results in many visual language understanding tasks, where the language plays an essential role as a hint or context for recognizing and locating instances. However, due to the defects of the human-annotated language corpus, multimodal supervision remains unexplored in fully supervised object detection scenarios. In this paper, we take advantage of language prompt to introduce effective and unbiased linguistic supervision into object detection, and propose a new mechanism called multimodal knowledge learning (\textbf{MKL}), which is required to learn knowledge from language supervision. Specifically, we design prompts and fill them with the bounding box annotations to generate descriptions containing extensive hints and context for instances recognition and localization. The knowledge from language is then distilled into the detection model via maximizing cross-modal mutual information in both image- and object-level. Moreover, the generated descriptions are manipulated to produce hard negatives to further boost the detector performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method yields a consistent performance gain by 1.6\% $\sim$ 2.1\% and achieves state-of-the-art on MS-COCO and OpenImages datasets.
