Transcending Scaling Laws with 0.1% Extra Compute
Yi Tay, Jason Wei, Hyung Won Chung +13
Scaling language models improves performance but comes with significant computational costs. This paper proposes UL2R, a method that substantially improves existing language models…
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
BigScience Workshop, :, Teven Le Scao +391
Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to wi…
Challenging BIG-Bench Tasks and Whether Chain-of-Thought Can Solve Them
Mirac Suzgun, Nathan Scales, Nathanael Schärli +8
BIG-Bench (Srivastava et al., 2022) is a diverse evaluation suite that focuses on tasks believed to be beyond the capabilities of current language models. Language models have alre…
Language Models are Multilingual Chain-of-Thought Reasoners
Freda Shi, Mirac Suzgun, Markus Freitag +9
We evaluate the reasoning abilities of large language models in multilingual settings. We introduce the Multilingual Grade School Math (MGSM) benchmark, by manually translating 250…
Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models
Hyung Won Chung, Le Hou, Shayne Longpre +32
Finetuning language models on a collection of datasets phrased as instructions has been shown to improve model performance and generalization to unseen tasks. In this paper we expl…
Scaling Laws vs Model Architectures: How does Inductive Bias Influence Scaling?
Yi Tay, Mostafa Dehghani, Samira Abnar +7
There have been a lot of interest in the scaling properties of Transformer models. However, not much has been done on the front of investigating the effect of scaling properties of…
UL2: Unifying Language Learning Paradigms
Yi Tay, Mostafa Dehghani, Vinh Q. Tran +11
Existing pre-trained models are generally geared towards a particular class of problems. To date, there seems to be still no consensus on what the right architecture and pre-traini…
What Language Model Architecture and Pretraining Objective Work Best for Zero-Shot Generalization?
Thomas Wang, Adam Roberts, Daniel Hesslow +5
Large pretrained Transformer language models have been shown to exhibit zero-shot generalization, i.e. they can perform a wide variety of tasks that they were not explicitly traine…
PaLM: Scaling Language Modeling with Pathways
Aakanksha Chowdhery, Sharan Narang, Jacob Devlin +64
