Shrinking the Generation-Verification Gap with Weak Verifiers

Jon Saad-Falcon, E. Kelly Buchanan, Mayee F. Chen +9

Verifiers can improve language model capabilities by scoring and ranking responses from generated candidates. Currently, high-quality verifiers are either unscalable (e.g., humans)…

Ask Me Anything: A simple strategy for prompting language models

Simran Arora, Avanika Narayan, Mayee F. Chen +6

Large language models (LLMs) transfer well to new tasks out-of-the-box simply given a natural language prompt that demonstrates how to perform the task and no additional training.…

TABi: Type-Aware Bi-Encoders for Open-Domain Entity Retrieval

Megan Leszczynski, Daniel Y. Fu, Mayee F. Chen +1

Entity retrieval--retrieving information about entity mentions in a query--is a key step in open-domain tasks, such as question answering or fact checking. However, state-of-the-ar…
