Don't Let Me Ask for It: LLMs Show Deficiencies in Active Multi-Turn Information Acquisition for Abductive Inference

Shahrukh Mohiuddin, Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sherzod Hakimov +1

Abductive reasoning requires forming hypotheses that explain observed evidence and revising them as new evidence becomes available. While large language models (LLMs) are often eva…

LLM Judges Can Be Too Generous When There Is No Reference Answer

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sowmya Vajjala

LLM judges are increasingly being used to evaluate open-ended model responses, often in no-reference settings where a ground-truth answer is unavailable. However, can they reliably…

Translating Classical Poetry into Modern Prose

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sowmya Vajjala

We built a dataset for the task of poem-to-prose translation from 13th-17th Century Telugu classical poetry to contemporary Telugu and English prose, which we call Padyam2Gadyam. T…

Multi-Turn Multi-Agent Dialogue for Collaborative Reconstruction Improves VLM Performance on Spatial Reasoning, But Only Barely

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sherzod Hakimov, David Schlangen

Robots operating in diverse environments rely on visual input to interpret objects and spatial layouts. In human-collaborative tasks, they are expected to communicate this understa…

MetricalARGS: A Taxonomy for Studying Metrical Poetry with LLMs

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sowmya Vajjala

Prior NLP work studying poetry has focused primarily on automatic poem generation and summarization. Many languages have well-studied traditions of poetic meter which enforce const…

MATA: Mindful Assessment of the Telugu Abilities of Large Language Models

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sowmya Vajjala

In this paper, we introduce MATA, a novel evaluation dataset to assess the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Telugu language, comprising 729 carefully curated multiple-cho…

Test Set Quality in Multilingual LLM Evaluation

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Gabriel Bernier-Colborne, Yvan Gauthier +1

Several multilingual benchmark datasets have been developed in a semi-automatic manner in the recent past to measure progress and understand the state-of-the-art in the multilingua…

A Third Paradigm for LLM Evaluation: Dialogue Game-Based Evaluation using clembench

David Schlangen, Sherzod Hakimov, Chalamalasetti Kranti +2

There are currently two main paradigms for evaluating large language models (LLMs), reference-based evaluation and preference-based evaluation. The first, carried over from the eva…

From Templates to Natural Language: Generalization Challenges in Instruction-Tuned LLMs for Spatial Reasoning

Chalamalasetti Kranti, Sherzod Hakimov, David Schlangen

Instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance on a variety of tasks; however, generalizing from synthetic to human-authored instructions in grounded…

clembench-2024: A Challenging, Dynamic, Complementary, Multilingual Benchmark and Underlying Flexible Framework for LLMs as Multi-Action Agents

Anne Beyer, Kranti Chalamalasetti, Sherzod Hakimov +3

It has been established in recent work that Large Language Models (LLMs) can be prompted to "self-play" conversational games that probe certain capabilities (general instruction fo…
