Self-Taught Evaluators

Tianlu Wang, Ilia Kulikov, Olga Golovneva +7

Model-based evaluation is at the heart of successful model development -- as a reward model for training, and as a replacement for human evaluation. To train such evaluators, the s…

Teaching Large Language Models to Reason with Reinforcement Learning

Alex Havrilla, Yuqing Du, Sharath Chandra Raparthy +6

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (\textbf{RLHF}) has emerged as a dominant approach for aligning LLM outputs with human preferences. Inspired by the success of RLHF, we s…

MultiContrievers: Analysis of Dense Retrieval Representations

Seraphina Goldfarb-Tarrant, Pedro Rodriguez, Jane Dwivedi-Yu +1

Dense retrievers compress source documents into (possibly lossy) vector representations, yet there is little analysis of what information is lost versus preserved, and how it affec…

GLoRe: When, Where, and How to Improve LLM Reasoning via Global and Local Refinements

Alex Havrilla, Sharath Raparthy, Christoforus Nalmpantis +4

State-of-the-art language models can exhibit impressive reasoning refinement capabilities on math, science or coding tasks. However, recent work demonstrates that even the best mod…

Efficient Tool Use with Chain-of-Abstraction Reasoning

Silin Gao, Jane Dwivedi-Yu, Ping Yu +7

To achieve faithful reasoning that aligns with human expectations, large language models (LLMs) need to ground their reasoning to real-world knowledge (e.g., web facts, math and ph…

Evaluation of Faithfulness Using the Longest Supported Subsequence

Anirudh Mittal, Timo Schick, Mikel Artetxe +1

As increasingly sophisticated language models emerge, their trustworthiness becomes a pivotal issue, especially in tasks such as summarization and question-answering. Ensuring thei…

Active Retrieval Augmented Generation

Zhengbao Jiang, Frank F. Xu, Luyu Gao +6

Despite the remarkable ability of large language models (LMs) to comprehend and generate language, they have a tendency to hallucinate and create factually inaccurate output. Augme…

Augmented Language Models: a Survey

Grégoire Mialon, Roberto Dessì, Maria Lomeli +10

This survey reviews works in which language models (LMs) are augmented with reasoning skills and the ability to use tools. The former is defined as decomposing a potentially comple…

Toolformer: Language Models Can Teach Themselves to Use Tools

Timo Schick, Jane Dwivedi-Yu, Roberto Dessì +5

Language models (LMs) exhibit remarkable abilities to solve new tasks from just a few examples or textual instructions, especially at scale. They also, paradoxically, struggle with…

EditEval: An Instruction-Based Benchmark for Text Improvements

Jane Dwivedi-Yu, Timo Schick, Zhengbao Jiang +6

Evaluation of text generation to date has primarily focused on content created sequentially, rather than improvements on a piece of text. Writing, however, is naturally an iterativ…

PEER: A Collaborative Language Model

Timo Schick, Jane Dwivedi-Yu, Zhengbao Jiang +7

Textual content is often the output of a collaborative writing process: We start with an initial draft, ask for suggestions, and repeatedly make changes. Agnostic of this process,…

Improving Wikipedia Verifiability with AI

Fabio Petroni, Samuel Broscheit, Aleksandra Piktus +10

Verifiability is a core content policy of Wikipedia: claims that are likely to be challenged need to be backed by citations. There are millions of articles available online and tho…
