SCREWS: A Modular Framework for Reasoning with Revisions

Kumar Shridhar, Harsh Jhamtani, Hao Fang +3

Large language models (LLMs) can improve their accuracy on various tasks through iteratively refining and revising their output based on feedback. We observe that these revisions c…

Few-Shot Adaptation for Parsing Contextual Utterances with LLMs

Kevin Lin, Patrick Xia, Hao Fang

We evaluate the ability of semantic parsers based on large language models (LLMs) to handle contextual utterances. In real-world settings, there typically exists only a limited num…

Learning Latent Local Conversation Modes for Predicting Community Endorsement in Online Discussions

Hao Fang, Hao Cheng, Mari Ostendorf

Many social media platforms offer a mechanism for readers to react to comments, both positively and negatively, which in aggregate can be thought of as community endorsement. This…

Talking to the crowd: What do people react to in online discussions?

Aaron Jaech, Victoria Zayats, Hao Fang +2

This paper addresses the question of how language use affects community reaction to comments in online discussion forums, and the relative importance of the message vs. the messeng…

Performance Limits of Segmented Compressive Sampling: Correlated Samples versus Bits

Hao Fang, Sergiy A. Vorobyov, Hai Jiang

This paper gives performance limits of the segmented compressive sampling (CS) which collects correlated samples. It is shown that the effect of correlation among samples for the s…

Permutation Meets Parallel Compressed Sensing: How to Relax Restricted Isometry Property for 2D Sparse Signals

Hao Fang, Sergiy A. Vorobyov, Hai Jiang +1

Traditional compressed sensing considers sampling a 1D signal. For a multidimensional signal, if reshaped into a vector, the required size of the sensing matrix becomes dramaticall…
