Chain-of-Verification Reduces Hallucination in Large Language Models

Shehzaad Dhuliawala, Mojtaba Komeili, Jing Xu +4

Generation of plausible yet incorrect factual information, termed hallucination, is an unsolved issue in large language models. We study the ability of language models to deliberat…

Multi-Party Chat: Conversational Agents in Group Settings with Humans and Models

Jimmy Wei, Kurt Shuster, Arthur Szlam +3

Current dialogue research primarily studies pairwise (two-party) conversations, and does not address the everyday setting where more than two speakers converse together. In this wo…

Infusing Commonsense World Models with Graph Knowledge

Alexander Gurung, Mojtaba Komeili, Arthur Szlam +2

While language models have become more capable of producing compelling language, we find there are still gaps in maintaining consistency, especially when describing events in a dyn…

Learning New Skills after Deployment: Improving open-domain internet-driven dialogue with human feedback

Jing Xu, Megan Ung, Mojtaba Komeili +3

Frozen models trained to mimic static datasets can never improve their performance. Models that can employ internet-retrieval for up-to-date information and obtain feedback from hu…

Language Models that Seek for Knowledge: Modular Search & Generation for Dialogue and Prompt Completion

Kurt Shuster, Mojtaba Komeili, Leonard Adolphs +3

Language models (LMs) have recently been shown to generate more factual responses by employing modularity (Zhou et al., 2021) in combination with retrieval (Adolphs et al., 2021).…

Efficient quantum walk on the grid with multiple marked elements

Peter Hoyer, Mojtaba Komeili

We give a quantum algorithm for finding a marked element on the grid when there are multiple marked elements. Our algorithm uses quadratically fewer steps than a random walk on the…
