Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces

Mike A. Merrill, Alexander G. Shaw, Nicholas Carlini +82

AI agents may soon become capable of autonomously completing valuable, long-horizon tasks in diverse domains. Current benchmarks either do not measure real-world tasks, or are not…

OptiSeq: Ordering Examples On-The-Fly for In-Context Learning

Rahul Atul Bhope, Praveen Venkateswaran, K. R. Jayaram +3

Developers using LLMs and LLM-based agents in their applications have provided plenty of anecdotal evidence that in-context-learning (ICL) is fragile. In this paper, we show that i…

When Benchmarks are Targets: Revealing the Sensitivity of Large Language Model Leaderboards

Norah Alzahrani, Hisham Abdullah Alyahya, Yazeed Alnumay +9

Large Language Model (LLM) leaderboards based on benchmark rankings are regularly used to guide practitioners in model selection. Often, the published leaderboard rankings are take…

Leveraging Large Language Models for Multiple Choice Question Answering

Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting, David Wingate

While large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 have achieved impressive results on multiple choice question answering (MCQA) tasks in the zero, one, and few-shot settings, they gene…

Out of One, Many: Using Language Models to Simulate Human Samples

Lisa P. Argyle, Ethan C. Busby, Nancy Fulda +3

We propose and explore the possibility that language models can be studied as effective proxies for specific human sub-populations in social science research. Practical and researc…

An Information-theoretic Approach to Prompt Engineering Without Ground Truth Labels

Taylor Sorensen, Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting +6

Pre-trained language models derive substantial linguistic and factual knowledge from the massive corpora on which they are trained, and prompt engineering seeks to align these mode…

Leveraging the Inductive Bias of Large Language Models for Abstract Textual Reasoning

Christopher Michael Rytting, David Wingate

Large natural language models (such as GPT-3 or T5) demonstrate impressive abilities across a range of general NLP tasks. Here, we show that the knowledge embedded in such models p…
