Cracks in the Foundation: Seemingly Minor Architectural Choices Impact Long Context Extension

Amanda Bertsch, Luca Soldaini, Matthew R. Gormley +4

One might imagine that architectural variations within the dense transformer paradigm have a limited effect on accuracy. However, we demonstrate that this is not the case in the lo…

Prompt-MII: Meta-Learning Instruction Induction for LLMs

Emily Xiao, Yixiao Zeng, Ada Chen +3

A popular method to adapt large language models (LLMs) to new tasks is in-context learning (ICL), which is effective but incurs high inference costs as context length grows. In thi…

Efficient Many-Shot In-Context Learning with Dynamic Block-Sparse Attention

Emily Xiao, Chin-Jou Li, Yilin Zhang +2

Many-shot in-context learning has recently shown promise as an alternative to finetuning, with the major advantage that the same model can be served for multiple tasks. However, th…

Not-Just-Scaling Laws: Towards a Better Understanding of the Downstream Impact of Language Model Design Decisions

Emmy Liu, Amanda Bertsch, Lintang Sutawika +9

Improvements in language model capabilities are often attributed to increasing model size or training data, but in some cases smaller models trained on curated data or with differe…

From Decoding to Meta-Generation: Inference-time Algorithms for Large Language Models

Sean Welleck, Amanda Bertsch, Matthew Finlayson +5

One of the most striking findings in modern research on large language models (LLMs) is that scaling up compute during training leads to better results. However, less attention has…

In-Context Learning with Long-Context Models: An In-Depth Exploration

Amanda Bertsch, Maor Ivgi, Emily Xiao +4

As model context lengths continue to increase, the number of demonstrations that can be provided in-context approaches the size of entire training datasets. We study the behavior o…

Unlimiformer: Long-Range Transformers with Unlimited Length Input

Amanda Bertsch, Uri Alon, Graham Neubig +1

Since the proposal of transformers, these models have been limited to bounded input lengths, because of their need to attend to every token in the input. In this work, we propose U…

He Said, She Said: Style Transfer for Shifting the Perspective of Dialogues

Amanda Bertsch, Graham Neubig, Matthew R. Gormley

In this work, we define a new style transfer task: perspective shift, which reframes a dialogue from informal first person to a formal third person rephrasing of the text. This tas…
