Can Humans Dream of Electric Sheep? Human-Written Samples for Fine-Grained Vision-and-Language Hallucination Benchmarking

Timothee Mickus, Claudio Savelli, Eduardo Calò +10

In an age of rapid model turnover, how do we make hallucination evaluation more perennial? We explore whether human-written hallucination samples could take the place of model-gene…

Language Models Learn Universal Representations of Numbers and Here's Why You Should Care

Michal Štefánik, Timothee Mickus, Marek Kadlčík +7

Prior work has shown that large language models (LLMs) often converge to accurate input embedding for numbers, based on sinusoidal representations. In this work, we quantify that t…

Life Cycle-Aware Evaluation of Knowledge Distillation for Machine Translation: Environmental Impact and Translation Quality Trade-offs

Joseph Attieh, Timothee Mickus, Anne-Laure Ligozat +2

Knowledge distillation (KD) is a tool to compress a larger system (teacher) into a smaller one (student). In machine translation, studies typically report only the translation qual…

KD4MT: A Survey of Knowledge Distillation for Machine Translation

Ona de Gibert, Joseph Attieh, Timothee Mickus +2

Knowledge Distillation (KD) as a research area has gained a lot of traction in recent years as a compression tool to address challenges related to ever-larger models in NLP. Remark…

Confabulations from ACL Publications (CAP): A Dataset for Scientific Hallucination Detection

Federica Gamba, Aman Sinha, Timothee Mickus +12

We introduce the CAP (Confabulations from ACL Publications) dataset, a multilingual resource for studying hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) within scientific text gene…

Pre-trained Language Models Learn Remarkably Accurate Representations of Numbers

Marek Kadlčík, Michal Štefánik, Timothee Mickus +2

Pretrained language models (LMs) are prone to arithmetic errors. Existing work showed limited success in probing numeric values from models' representations, indicating that these…
