On the Same Wavelength? Evaluating Pragmatic Reasoning in Language Models across Broad Concepts

Linlu Qiu, Cedegao E. Zhang, Joshua B. Tenenbaum +2

Language use is shaped by pragmatics -- i.e., reasoning about communicative goals and norms in context. As language models (LMs) are increasingly used as conversational agents, it…

Lookback Lens: Detecting and Mitigating Contextual Hallucinations in Large Language Models Using Only Attention Maps

Yung-Sung Chuang, Linlu Qiu, Cheng-Yu Hsieh +3

When asked to summarize articles or answer questions given a passage, large language models (LLMs) can hallucinate details and respond with unsubstantiated answers that are inaccur…

Bias Amplification in Language Model Evolution: An Iterated Learning Perspective

Yi Ren, Shangmin Guo, Linlu Qiu +2

With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), the prevalence of iterative interactions among these models is anticipated to increase. Notably, recent advancements i…

Phenomenal Yet Puzzling: Testing Inductive Reasoning Capabilities of Language Models with Hypothesis Refinement

Linlu Qiu, Liwei Jiang, Ximing Lu +8

The ability to derive underlying principles from a handful of observations and then generalize to novel situations -- known as inductive reasoning -- is central to human intelligen…

Reasoning or Reciting? Exploring the Capabilities and Limitations of Language Models Through Counterfactual Tasks

Zhaofeng Wu, Linlu Qiu, Alexis Ross +6

The impressive performance of recent language models across a wide range of tasks suggests that they possess a degree of abstract reasoning skills. Are these skills general and tra…

Generate-and-Retrieve: use your predictions to improve retrieval for semantic parsing

Yury Zemlyanskiy, Michiel de Jong, Joshua Ainslie +5

A common recent approach to semantic parsing augments sequence-to-sequence models by retrieving and appending a set of training samples, called exemplars. The effectiveness of this…

Evaluating the Impact of Model Scale for Compositional Generalization in Semantic Parsing

Linlu Qiu, Peter Shaw, Panupong Pasupat +5

Despite their strong performance on many tasks, pre-trained language models have been shown to struggle on out-of-distribution compositional generalization. Meanwhile, recent work…

Improving Compositional Generalization with Latent Structure and Data Augmentation

Linlu Qiu, Peter Shaw, Panupong Pasupat +4

Generic unstructured neural networks have been shown to struggle on out-of-distribution compositional generalization. Compositional data augmentation via example recombination has…

Systematic Generalization on gSCAN: What is Nearly Solved and What is Next?

Linlu Qiu, Hexiang Hu, Bowen Zhang +2

We analyze the grounded SCAN (gSCAN) benchmark, which was recently proposed to study systematic generalization for grounded language understanding. First, we study which aspects of…
