Effective Reasoning Chains Reduce Intrinsic Dimensionality
Archiki Prasad, Mandar Joshi, Kenton Lee +2
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning and its variants have substantially improved the performance of language models on complex reasoning tasks, yet the precise mechanisms by which dif…
BAGEL: Bootstrapping Agents by Guiding Exploration with Language
Shikhar Murty, Christopher Manning, Peter Shaw +2
Following natural language instructions by executing actions in digital environments (e.g. web-browsers and REST APIs) is a challenging task for language model (LM) agents. Unfortu…
DePlot: One-shot visual language reasoning by plot-to-table translation
Fangyu Liu, Julian Martin Eisenschlos, Francesco Piccinno +7
Visual language such as charts and plots is ubiquitous in the human world. Comprehending plots and charts requires strong reasoning skills. Prior state-of-the-art (SOTA) models req…
MatCha: Enhancing Visual Language Pretraining with Math Reasoning and Chart Derendering
Fangyu Liu, Francesco Piccinno, Syrine Krichene +6
Visual language data such as plots, charts, and infographics are ubiquitous in the human world. However, state-of-the-art vision-language models do not perform well on these data.…
Pix2Struct: Screenshot Parsing as Pretraining for Visual Language Understanding
Kenton Lee, Mandar Joshi, Iulia Turc +7
Visually-situated language is ubiquitous -- sources range from textbooks with diagrams to web pages with images and tables, to mobile apps with buttons and forms. Perhaps due to th…
Few-shot Mining of Naturally Occurring Inputs and Outputs
Mandar Joshi, Terra Blevins, Mike Lewis +2
Creating labeled natural language training data is expensive and requires significant human effort. We mine input output examples from large corpora using a supervised mining funct…
Improving Passage Retrieval with Zero-Shot Question Generation
Devendra Singh Sachan, Mike Lewis, Mandar Joshi +4
We propose a simple and effective re-ranking method for improving passage retrieval in open question answering. The re-ranker re-scores retrieved passages with a zero-shot question…
HTLM: Hyper-Text Pre-Training and Prompting of Language Models
Armen Aghajanyan, Dmytro Okhonko, Mike Lewis +4
We introduce HTLM, a hyper-text language model trained on a large-scale web crawl. Modeling hyper-text has a number of advantages: (1) it is easily gathered at scale, (2) it provid…
DESCGEN: A Distantly Supervised Dataset for Generating Abstractive Entity Descriptions
Weijia Shi, Mandar Joshi, Luke Zettlemoyer
Short textual descriptions of entities provide summaries of their key attributes and have been shown to be useful sources of background knowledge for tasks such as entity linking a…
