In-context Learning Generalizes, But Not Always Robustly: The Case of Syntax
Aaron Mueller, Albert Webson, Jackson Petty +1
In-context learning (ICL) is now a common method for teaching large language models (LLMs) new tasks: given labeled examples in the input context, the LLM learns to perform the tas…
Function Vectors in Large Language Models
Eric Todd, Millicent L. Li, Arnab Sen Sharma +3
We report the presence of a simple neural mechanism that represents an input-output function as a vector within autoregressive transformer language models (LMs). Using causal media…
Meta-training with Demonstration Retrieval for Efficient Few-shot Learning
Aaron Mueller, Kanika Narang, Lambert Mathias +2
Large language models show impressive results on few-shot NLP tasks. However, these models are memory and computation-intensive. Meta-training allows one to leverage smaller models…
Inverse Scaling: When Bigger Isn't Better
Ian R. McKenzie, Alexander Lyzhov, Michael Pieler +24
Work on scaling laws has found that large language models (LMs) show predictable improvements to overall loss with increased scale (model size, training data, and compute). Here, w…
How to Plant Trees in Language Models: Data and Architectural Effects on the Emergence of Syntactic Inductive Biases
Aaron Mueller, Tal Linzen
Accurate syntactic representations are essential for robust generalization in natural language. Recent work has found that pre-training can teach language models to rely on hierarc…
Call for Papers -- The BabyLM Challenge: Sample-efficient pretraining on a developmentally plausible corpus
Alex Warstadt, Leshem Choshen, Aaron Mueller +3
We present the call for papers for the BabyLM Challenge: Sample-efficient pretraining on a developmentally plausible corpus. This shared task is intended for participants with an i…
