Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size

Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5

Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…

Reliable and Responsible Foundation Models: A Comprehensive Survey

Xinyu Yang, Junlin Han, Rishi Bommasani +49

Foundation models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), Image Generative Models (i.e, Text-to-Image Models and Image-Editing Models), a…

Cheaply Evaluating Inference Efficiency Metrics for Autoregressive Transformer APIs

Deepak Narayanan, Keshav Santhanam, Peter Henderson +3

Large language models (LLMs) power many state-of-the-art systems in natural language processing. However, these models are extremely computationally expensive, even at inference ti…

Ecosystem Graphs: The Social Footprint of Foundation Models

Rishi Bommasani, Dilara Soylu, Thomas I. Liao +2

Foundation models (e.g. ChatGPT, StableDiffusion) pervasively influence society, warranting immediate social attention. While the models themselves garner much attention, to accura…

Trustworthy Social Bias Measurement

Rishi Bommasani, Percy Liang

How do we design measures of social bias that we trust? While prior work has introduced several measures, no measure has gained widespread trust: instead, mounting evidence argues…

Evaluation for Change

Rishi Bommasani

Evaluation is the central means for assessing, understanding, and communicating about NLP models. In this position paper, we argue evaluation should be more than that: it is a forc…

Evaluating Human-Language Model Interaction

Mina Lee, Megha Srivastava, Amelia Hardy +15

Many real-world applications of language models (LMs), such as writing assistance and code autocomplete, involve human-LM interaction. However, most benchmarks are non-interactive…

Picking on the Same Person: Does Algorithmic Monoculture lead to Outcome Homogenization?

Rishi Bommasani, Kathleen A. Creel, Ananya Kumar +2

As the scope of machine learning broadens, we observe a recurring theme of algorithmic monoculture: the same systems, or systems that share components (e.g. training data), are dep…

BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model

BigScience Workshop, :, Teven Le Scao +391

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to wi…

Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models

Jason Wei, Yi Tay, Rishi Bommasani +13

Scaling up language models has been shown to predictably improve performance and sample efficiency on a wide range of downstream tasks. This paper instead discusses an unpredictabl…

Data Governance in the Age of Large-Scale Data-Driven Language Technology

Yacine Jernite, Huu Nguyen, Stella Biderman +18

The recent emergence and adoption of Machine Learning technology, and specifically of Large Language Models, has drawn attention to the need for systematic and transparent manageme…

Generalized Optimal Linear Orders

Rishi Bommasani

The sequential structure of language, and the order of words in a sentence specifically, plays a central role in human language processing. Consequently, in designing computational…

On the Opportunities and Risks of Foundation Models

Rishi Bommasani, Drew A. Hudson, Ehsan Adeli +111

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks.…
