HyperTuning: Toward Adapting Large Language Models without Back-propagation

Jason Phang, Yi Mao, Pengcheng He +1

Fine-tuning large language models for different tasks can be costly and inefficient, and even methods that reduce the number of tuned parameters still require full gradient-based o…

Two-Turn Debate Doesn't Help Humans Answer Hard Reading Comprehension Questions

Alicia Parrish, Harsh Trivedi, Nikita Nangia +4

The use of language-model-based question-answering systems to aid humans in completing difficult tasks is limited, in part, by the unreliability of the text these systems generate.…

SQuALITY: Building a Long-Document Summarization Dataset the Hard Way

Alex Wang, Richard Yuanzhe Pang, Angelica Chen +2

Summarization datasets are often assembled either by scraping naturally occurring public-domain summaries -- which are nearly always in difficult-to-work-with technical domains --…

Single-Turn Debate Does Not Help Humans Answer Hard Reading-Comprehension Questions

Alicia Parrish, Harsh Trivedi, Ethan Perez +4

Current QA systems can generate reasonable-sounding yet false answers without explanation or evidence for the generated answer, which is especially problematic when humans cannot r…
