Rel-A.I.: An Interaction-Centered Approach To Measuring Human-LM Reliance

Kaitlyn Zhou, Jena D. Hwang, Xiang Ren +3

The ability to communicate uncertainty, risk, and limitation is crucial for the safety of large language models. However, current evaluations of these abilities rely on simple cali…

LIMA: Less Is More for Alignment

Chunting Zhou, Pengfei Liu, Puxin Xu +12

Large language models are trained in two stages: (1) unsupervised pretraining from raw text, to learn general-purpose representations, and (2) large scale instruction tuning and re…

ZeroSCROLLS: A Zero-Shot Benchmark for Long Text Understanding

Uri Shaham, Maor Ivgi, Avia Efrat +2

We introduce ZeroSCROLLS, a zero-shot benchmark for natural language understanding over long texts, which contains only test and small validation sets, without training data. We ad…

LMentry: A Language Model Benchmark of Elementary Language Tasks

Avia Efrat, Or Honovich, Omer Levy

As the performance of large language models rapidly improves, benchmarks are getting larger and more complex as well. We present LMentry, a benchmark that avoids this "arms race" b…

Beyond the Imitation Game: Quantifying and extrapolating the capabilities of language models

Aarohi Srivastava, Abhinav Rastogi, Abhishek Rao +448

Language models demonstrate both quantitative improvement and new qualitative capabilities with increasing scale. Despite their potentially transformative impact, these new capabil…

SCROLLS: Standardized CompaRison Over Long Language Sequences

Uri Shaham, Elad Segal, Maor Ivgi +8

NLP benchmarks have largely focused on short texts, such as sentences and paragraphs, even though long texts comprise a considerable amount of natural language in the wild. We intr…

How Optimal is Greedy Decoding for Extractive Question Answering?

Or Castel, Ori Ram, Avia Efrat +1

Fine-tuned language models use greedy decoding to answer reading comprehension questions with relative success. However, this approach does not ensure that the answer is a span in…

Cryptonite: A Cryptic Crossword Benchmark for Extreme Ambiguity in Language

Avia Efrat, Uri Shaham, Dan Kilman +1

Current NLP datasets targeting ambiguity can be solved by a native speaker with relative ease. We present Cryptonite, a large-scale dataset based on cryptic crosswords, which is bo…

The Turking Test: Can Language Models Understand Instructions?

Avia Efrat, Omer Levy

Supervised machine learning provides the learner with a set of input-output examples of the target task. Humans, however, can also learn to perform new tasks from instructions in n…

A Simple and Effective Model for Answering Multi-span Questions

Elad Segal, Avia Efrat, Mor Shoham +2

Models for reading comprehension (RC) commonly restrict their output space to the set of all single contiguous spans from the input, in order to alleviate the learning problem and…
