Revisiting Prompt Sensitivity in Large Language Models for Text Classification: The Role of Prompt Underspecification

Branislav Pecher, Michal Spiegel, Robert Belanec +1

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used as zero-shot and few-shot classifiers, where task behaviour is largely controlled through prompting. A growing number of works have obs…

LLMs vs Established Text Augmentation Techniques for Classification: When do the Benefits Outweight the Costs?

Jan Cegin, Jakub Simko, Peter Brusilovsky

The generative large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used for data augmentation tasks, where text samples are LLM-paraphrased and then used for classifier fine-tuning…

Fighting Randomness with Randomness: Mitigating Optimisation Instability of Fine-Tuning using Delayed Ensemble and Noisy Interpolation

Branislav Pecher, Jan Cegin, Robert Belanec +3

While fine-tuning of pre-trained language models generally helps to overcome the lack of labelled training samples, it also displays model performance instability. This instability…

ChatGPT to Replace Crowdsourcing of Paraphrases for Intent Classification: Higher Diversity and Comparable Model Robustness

Jan Cegin, Jakub Simko, Peter Brusilovsky

The emergence of generative large language models (LLMs) raises the question: what will be its impact on crowdsourcing? Traditionally, crowdsourcing has been used for acquiring sol…
