Linguistic Properties of Truthful Response

Bruce W. Lee, Benedict Florance Arockiaraj, Helen Jin

We investigate the phenomenon of an LLM's untruthful response using a large set of 220 handcrafted linguistic features. We focus on GPT-3 models and find that the linguistic profil…

Prompt-based Learning for Text Readability Assessment

Bruce W. Lee, Jason Hyung-Jong Lee

We propose the novel adaptation of a pre-trained seq2seq model for readability assessment. We prove that a seq2seq model - T5 or BART - can be adapted to discern which text is more…
