How Language Model Hallucinations Can Snowball

Muru Zhang, Ofir Press, William Merrill +2

A major risk of using language models in practical applications is their tendency to hallucinate incorrect statements. Hallucinations are often attributed to knowledge gaps in LMs,…

A Tale of Two Circuits: Grokking as Competition of Sparse and Dense Subnetworks

William Merrill, Nikolaos Tsilivis, Aman Shukla

Grokking is a phenomenon where a model trained on an algorithmic task first overfits but, then, after a large amount of additional training, undergoes a phase transition to general…

Transparency Helps Reveal When Language Models Learn Meaning

Zhaofeng Wu, William Merrill, Hao Peng +2

Many current NLP systems are built from language models trained to optimize unsupervised objectives on large amounts of raw text. Under what conditions might such a procedure acqui…

A Logic for Expressing Log-Precision Transformers

William Merrill, Ashish Sabharwal

One way to interpret the reasoning power of transformer-based language models is to describe the types of logical rules they can resolve over some input text. Recently, Chiang et a…

Entailment Semantics Can Be Extracted from an Ideal Language Model

William Merrill, Alex Warstadt, Tal Linzen

Language models are often trained on text alone, without additional grounding. There is debate as to how much of natural language semantics can be inferred from such a procedure. W…
