Last Translation Benchmark
Vilém Zouhar, Niyati Bafna, Mukund Choudhary +263
For scientific progress, we need benchmarks that test the limits of state-of-the-art models, and evaluation methods that inform us about failure cases. As models get stronger, stan…
What do Language Models Learn and When? The Implicit Curriculum Hypothesis
Emmy Liu, Kaiser Sun, Millicent Li +4
Large language models (LLMs) can perform remarkably complex tasks, yet the fine-grained details of how these capabilities emerge during pretraining remain poorly understood. Scalin…
Reading, Not Thinking: Understanding and Bridging the Modality Gap When Text Becomes Pixels in Multimodal LLMs
Kaiser Sun, Xiaochuang Yuan, Hongjun Liu +4
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can process text presented as images, yet they often perform worse than when the same content is provided as textual tokens. We systematica…
Task Matters: Knowledge Requirements Shape LLM Responses to Context-Memory Conflict
Kaiser Sun, Fan Bai, Mark Dredze
Large language models (LLMs) draw on both contextual information and parametric memory, yet these sources can conflict. Prior studies have largely examined this issue in contextual…
On the Failure of Latent State Persistence in Large Language Models
Jen-tse Huang, Kaiser Sun, Wenxuan Wang +1
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in reasoning, whether they can sustain persistent latent states remains under-explored. The capacity to maintain and manipulate unexpressed…
CLAIMCHECK: How Grounded are LLM Critiques of Scientific Papers?
Jiefu Ou, William Gantt Walden, Kate Sanders +13
A core part of scientific peer review involves providing expert critiques that directly assess the scientific claims a paper makes. While it is now possible to automatically genera…
Amuro and Char: Analyzing the Relationship between Pre-Training and Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models
Kaiser Sun, Mark Dredze
The development of large language models leads to the formation of a pre-train-then-align paradigm, in which the model is typically pre-trained on a large text corpus and undergoes…
The Validity of Evaluation Results: Assessing Concurrence Across Compositionality Benchmarks
Kaiser Sun, Adina Williams, Dieuwke Hupkes
NLP models have progressed drastically in recent years, according to numerous datasets proposed to evaluate performance. Questions remain, however, about how particular dataset des…
Tokenization Consistency Matters for Generative Models on Extractive NLP Tasks
Kaiser Sun, Peng Qi, Yuhao Zhang +3
Generative models have been widely applied to solve extractive tasks, where parts of the input is extracted to form the desired output, and achieved significant success. For exampl…
State-of-the-art generalisation research in NLP: A taxonomy and review
Dieuwke Hupkes, Mario Giulianelli, Verna Dankers +17
The ability to generalise well is one of the primary desiderata of natural language processing (NLP). Yet, what 'good generalisation' entails and how it should be evaluated is not…
Effective Attention Sheds Light On Interpretability
Kaiser Sun, Ana Marasović
An attention matrix of a transformer self-attention sublayer can provably be decomposed into two components and only one of them (effective attention) contributes to the model outp…
