Distilling Text Style Transfer With Self-Explanation From LLMs

Chiyu Zhang, Honglong Cai, Yuezhang +4

Text Style Transfer (TST) seeks to alter the style of text while retaining its core content. Given the constraints of limited parallel datasets for TST, we propose CoTeX, a framewo…

Multi-step Problem Solving Through a Verifier: An Empirical Analysis on Model-induced Process Supervision

Zihan Wang, Yunxuan Li, Yuexin Wu +4

Process supervision, using a trained verifier to evaluate the intermediate steps generated by a reasoner, has demonstrated significant improvements in multi-step problem solving. I…

Instruction-Following Evaluation for Large Language Models

Jeffrey Zhou, Tianjian Lu, Swaroop Mishra +5

One core capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) is to follow natural language instructions. However, the evaluation of such abilities is not standardized: Human evaluations are…

Enabling Language Models to Implicitly Learn Self-Improvement

Ziqi Wang, Le Hou, Tianjian Lu +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in open-ended text generation tasks. However, the inherent open-ended nature of these tasks implies that ther…

Symbol tuning improves in-context learning in language models

Jerry Wei, Le Hou, Andrew Lampinen +8

We present symbol tuning - finetuning language models on in-context input-label pairs where natural language labels (e.g., "positive/negative sentiment") are replaced with arbitrar…

The Flan Collection: Designing Data and Methods for Effective Instruction Tuning

Shayne Longpre, Le Hou, Tu Vu +8

We study the design decisions of publicly available instruction tuning methods, and break down the development of Flan 2022 (Chung et al., 2022). Through careful ablation studies o…

Token Dropping for Efficient BERT Pretraining

Le Hou, Richard Yuanzhe Pang, Tianyi Zhou +4

Transformer-based models generally allocate the same amount of computation for each token in a given sequence. We develop a simple but effective "token dropping" method to accelera…

Speeding up Deep Model Training by Sharing Weights and Then Unsharing

Shuo Yang, Le Hou, Xiaodan Song +2

We propose a simple and efficient approach for training the BERT model. Our approach exploits the special structure of BERT that contains a stack of repeated modules (i.e., transfo…
