The advent of large language models trained on code (code LLMs) has led to significant progress in language-to-code generation. State-of-the-art approaches in this area combine LLM…
OPT-IML: Scaling Language Model Instruction Meta Learning through the Lens of Generalization
Srinivasan Iyer, Xi Victoria Lin, Ramakanth Pasunuru +15
Recent work has shown that fine-tuning large pre-trained language models on a collection of tasks described via instructions, a.k.a. instruction-tuning, improves their zero and few…
Training Trajectories of Language Models Across Scales
Mengzhou Xia, Mikel Artetxe, Chunting Zhou +5
Scaling up language models has led to unprecedented performance gains, but little is understood about how the training dynamics change as models get larger. How do language models…
FOLIO: Natural Language Reasoning with First-Order Logic
Simeng Han, Hailey Schoelkopf, Yilun Zhao +32
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on a variety of natural language understanding tasks. However, existing benchmarks are inadequate in measuring the…
OPT: Open Pre-trained Transformer Language Models
Susan Zhang, Stephen Roller, Naman Goyal +16
Large language models, which are often trained for hundreds of thousands of compute days, have shown remarkable capabilities for zero- and few-shot learning. Given their computatio…
Lifting the Curse of Multilinguality by Pre-training Modular Transformers
Jonas Pfeiffer, Naman Goyal, Xi Victoria Lin +4
Multilingual pre-trained models are known to suffer from the curse of multilinguality, which causes per-language performance to drop as they cover more languages. We address this i…
On Continual Model Refinement in Out-of-Distribution Data Streams
Bill Yuchen Lin, Sida Wang, Xi Victoria Lin +4
Real-world natural language processing (NLP) models need to be continually updated to fix the prediction errors in out-of-distribution (OOD) data streams while overcoming catastrop…
Pretty Princess vs. Successful Leader: Gender Roles in Greeting Card Messages
Jiao Sun, Tongshuang Wu, Yue Jiang +3
People write personalized greeting cards on various occasions. While prior work has studied gender roles in greeting card messages, systematic analysis at scale and tools for raisi…
Efficient Large Scale Language Modeling with Mixtures of Experts
Mikel Artetxe, Shruti Bhosale, Naman Goyal +21
Mixture of Experts layers (MoEs) enable efficient scaling of language models through conditional computation. This paper presents a detailed empirical study of how autoregressive M…
Few-shot Learning with Multilingual Language Models
Xi Victoria Lin, Todor Mihaylov, Mikel Artetxe +18
Large-scale generative language models such as GPT-3 are competitive few-shot learners. While these models are known to be able to jointly represent many different languages, their…
Learning to Synthesize Data for Semantic Parsing
Bailin Wang, Wenpeng Yin, Xi Victoria Lin +1
Synthesizing data for semantic parsing has gained increasing attention recently. However, most methods require handcrafted (high-precision) rules in their generative process, hinde…
FeTaQA: Free-form Table Question Answering
Linyong Nan, Chiachun Hsieh, Ziming Mao +14
Existing table question answering datasets contain abundant factual questions that primarily evaluate the query and schema comprehension capability of a system, but they fail to in…
