RECAST is a new framework that generates datasets with far more constraints per example than existing benchmarks, aiming to push large language models (LLMs) to better follow complex instructions. The authors built RECAST-30K, a 30,000‑instance dataset covering 19 constraint types extracted from real prompt‑response pairs, and showed that fine‑tuning on it improves LLMs’ ability to handle complex tasks without harming general performance. RECAST also provides rule‑based and LLM‑based validators for automatic constraint verification, enabling reward‑based reinforcement learning to further enhance model performance on challenging tasks.
Instruction-following ability is critical for deploying large language models in real-world applications, where downstream components depend on the output satisfying specific constraints. Modern deployments increasingly handle the full task in a single LLM call, with one prompt specifying a layered output whose overall artifact, structural sections, and nested fields must each satisfy concrete constraints.
arXiv:2601. 22146v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Due to limited supervised training data, large language models (LLMs) are typically pre-trained via a self-supervised "predict the next word" objective on a vast amount of unstructured text data.
