Exploring Performance Variations in Finetuned Translators of Ultra-Low Resource Languages: Do Linguistic Differences Matter?

Isabel Gonçalves, Paulo Cavalin, Claudio Pinhanez

Finetuning pre-trained language models with small amounts of data is a commonly-used method to create translators for ultra-low resource languages such as endangered Indigenous lan…

CAT: A Metric-Driven Framework for Analyzing the Consistency-Accuracy Relation of LLMs under Controlled Input Variations

Paulo Cavalin, Cassia Sanctos, Marcelo Grave +2

We introduce \textsc{CAT}, a framework designed to evaluate and visualize the \emph{interplay} of \emph{accuracy} and \emph{response consistency} of Large Language Models (LLMs) un…

Improving Score Reliability of Multiple Choice Benchmarks with Consistency Evaluation and Altered Answer Choices

Paulo Cavalin, Cassia Sanctos, Marcelo Grave +2

In this work we present the Consistency-Rebalanced Accuracy (CoRA) metric, improving the reliability of Large Language Model (LLM) scores computed on multiple choice (MC) benchmark…

A methodological analysis of prompt perturbations and their effect on attack success rates

Tiago Machado, Maysa Malfiza Garcia de Macedo, Rogerio Abreu de Paula +5

This work aims to investigate how different Large Language Models (LLMs) alignment methods affect the models' responses to prompt attacks. We selected open source models based on t…

The Non-Determinism of Small LLMs: Evidence of Low Answer Consistency in Repetition Trials of Standard Multiple-Choice Benchmarks

Claudio Pinhanez, Paulo Cavalin, Cassia Sanctos +2

This work explores the consistency of small LLMs (2B-8B parameters) in answering multiple times the same question. We present a study on known, open-source LLMs responding to 10 re…

Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence to Vitalize Endangered Indigenous Languages: Technologies and Experiences

Claudio Pinhanez, Paulo Cavalin, Luciana Storto +9

Since 2022 we have been exploring application areas and technologies in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern Natural Language Processing (NLP), such as Large Language Mode…

Sentence-level Aggregation of Lexical Metrics Correlates Stronger with Human Judgements than Corpus-level Aggregation

Paulo Cavalin, Pedro Henrique Domingues, Claudio Pinhanez

In this paper we show that corpus-level aggregation hinders considerably the capability of lexical metrics to accurately evaluate machine translation (MT) systems. With empirical e…
