CT: Counterfactual Causal Reasoning for Sentiment Shifts in Social-Media Conversation Trees
S M Rafiuddin, Atriya Sen
Sentiment in social-media threads does not only vary across posts; it shifts as users react to claims, corrections, evidence, and hostility within a branching reply tree. We study…
Gender Bias in MT for a Genderless Language: New Benchmarks for Basque
Amaia Murillo, Olatz-Perez-de-Viñaspre, Naiara Perez
Large language models (LLMs) and machine translation (MT) systems are increasingly used in our daily lives, but their outputs can reproduce gender bias present in the training data…
An Empirical Study on Noisy Data and LLM Pretraining Loss Divergence
Qizhen Zhang, Ankush Garg, Jakob Foerster +3
Large-scale pretraining datasets drive the success of large language models (LLMs). However, these web-scale corpora inevitably contain large amounts of noisy data due to unregulat…
From KMMLU-Redux to KMMLU-Pro: A Professional Korean Benchmark Suite for LLM Evaluation
Seokhee Hong, Sunkyoung Kim, Guijin Son +3
The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires robust benchmarks that encompass not only academic domains but also industrial fields to effectively evaluate their applica…
Balancing Knowledge Delivery and Emotional Comfort in Healthcare Conversational Systems
Shang-Chi Tsai, Yun-Nung Chen
With the advancement of large language models, many dialogue systems are now capable of providing reasonable and informative responses to patients' medical conditions. However, whe…
Dialect Normalization using Large Language Models and Morphological Rules
Antonios Dimakis, John Pavlopoulos, Antonios Anastasopoulos
Natural language understanding systems struggle with low-resource languages, including many dialects of high-resource ones. Dialect-to-standard normalization attempts to tackle thi…
Jailbreak Distillation: Renewable Safety Benchmarking
Jingyu Zhang, Ahmed Elgohary, Xiawei Wang +5
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly deployed in critical applications, raising urgent needs for robust safety benchmarking. We propose Jailbreak Distillation (JBDistill), a no…
ZeroSumEval: An Extensible Framework For Scaling LLM Evaluation with Inter-Model Competition
Hisham A. Alyahya, Haidar Khan, Yazeed Alnumay +2
We introduce ZeroSumEval, a dynamic, competition-based, and evolving evaluation framework for Large Language Models (LLMs) that leverages competitive games. ZeroSumEval encompasses…
Compute Optimal Scaling of Skills: Knowledge vs Reasoning
Nicholas Roberts, Niladri Chatterji, Sharan Narang +2
Scaling laws are a critical component of the LLM development pipeline, most famously as a way to forecast training decisions such as 'compute-optimally' trading-off parameter count…
Correlating and Predicting Human Evaluations of Language Models from Natural Language Processing Benchmarks
Rylan Schaeffer, Punit Singh Koura, Binh Tang +11
The explosion of high-performing conversational language models (LMs) has spurred a shift from classic natural language processing (NLP) benchmarks to expensive, time-consuming and…
Multilingual Machine Translation with Open Large Language Models at Practical Scale: An Empirical Study
Menglong Cui, Pengzhi Gao, Wei Liu +2
Large language models (LLMs) have shown continuously improving multilingual capabilities, and even small-scale open-source models have demonstrated rapid performance enhancement. I…
LLäMmlein: Transparent, Compact and Competitive German-Only Language Models from Scratch
Jan Pfister, Julia Wunderle, Andreas Hotho
We create two German-only decoder models, LLäMmlein 120M and 1B, transparently from scratch and publish them, along with the training data, for the German NLP research community to…
The Llama 3 Herd of Models
Aaron Grattafiori, Abhimanyu Dubey, Abhinav Jauhri +556
Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by foundation models. This paper presents a new set of foundation models, called Llama 3. It is a herd of language models th…
When Benchmarks are Targets: Revealing the Sensitivity of Large Language Model Leaderboards
Norah Alzahrani, Hisham Abdullah Alyahya, Yazeed Alnumay +9
Large Language Model (LLM) leaderboards based on benchmark rankings are regularly used to guide practitioners in model selection. Often, the published leaderboard rankings are take…
Proving Test Set Contamination in Black Box Language Models
Yonatan Oren, Nicole Meister, Niladri Chatterji +2
Large language models are trained on vast amounts of internet data, prompting concerns and speculation that they have memorized public benchmarks. Going from speculation to proof o…
Holistic Evaluation of Language Models
Percy Liang, Rishi Bommasani, Tony Lee +47
Language models (LMs) are becoming the foundation for almost all major language technologies, but their capabilities, limitations, and risks are not well understood. We present Hol…
Deep Linear Networks can Benignly Overfit when Shallow Ones Do
Niladri S. Chatterji, Philip M. Long
We bound the excess risk of interpolating deep linear networks trained using gradient flow. In a setting previously used to establish risk bounds for the minimum -norm inte…
Leveraging Large (Visual) Language Models for Robot 3D Scene Understanding
William Chen, Siyi Hu, Rajat Talak +1
Abstract semantic 3D scene understanding is a problem of critical importance in robotics. As robots still lack the common-sense knowledge about household objects and locations of a…
Undersampling is a Minimax Optimal Robustness Intervention in Nonparametric Classification
Niladri S. Chatterji, Saminul Haque, Tatsunori Hashimoto
