Extending the WILDS Benchmark for Unsupervised Adaptation

Shiori Sagawa, Pang Wei Koh, Tony Lee +17

Machine learning systems deployed in the wild are often trained on a source distribution but deployed on a different target distribution. Unlabeled data can be a powerful point of…

LILA: Language-Informed Latent Actions

Siddharth Karamcheti, Megha Srivastava, Percy Liang +1

We introduce Language-Informed Latent Actions (LILA), a framework for learning natural language interfaces in the context of human-robot collaboration. LILA falls under the shared…

An Explanation of In-context Learning as Implicit Bayesian Inference

Sang Michael Xie, Aditi Raghunathan, Percy Liang +1

Large language models (LMs) such as GPT-3 have the surprising ability to do in-context learning, where the model learns to do a downstream task simply by conditioning on a prompt c…

LM-Critic: Language Models for Unsupervised Grammatical Error Correction

Michihiro Yasunaga, Jure Leskovec, Percy Liang

Training a model for grammatical error correction (GEC) requires a set of labeled ungrammatical / grammatical sentence pairs, but manually annotating such pairs can be expensive. R…

Large Language Models Can Be Strong Differentially Private Learners

Xuechen Li, Florian Tramèr, Percy Liang +1

Differentially Private (DP) learning has seen limited success for building large deep learning models of text, and straightforward attempts at applying Differentially Private Stoch…

Conditional probing: measuring usable information beyond a baseline

John Hewitt, Kawin Ethayarajh, Percy Liang +1

Probing experiments investigate the extent to which neural representations make properties -- like part-of-speech -- predictable. One suggests that a representation encodes a prope…

No True State-of-the-Art? OOD Detection Methods are Inconsistent across Datasets

Fahim Tajwar, Ananya Kumar, Sang Michael Xie +1

Out-of-distribution detection is an important component of reliable ML systems. Prior literature has proposed various methods (e.g., MSP (Hendrycks & Gimpel, 2017), ODIN (Liang et…

On the Opportunities and Risks of Foundation Models

Rishi Bommasani, Drew A. Hudson, Ehsan Adeli +111

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks.…

Codified audio language modeling learns useful representations for music information retrieval

Rodrigo Castellon, Chris Donahue, Percy Liang

We demonstrate that language models pre-trained on codified (discretely-encoded) music audio learn representations that are useful for downstream MIR tasks. Specifically, we explor…

Just Train Twice: Improving Group Robustness without Training Group Information

Evan Zheran Liu, Behzad Haghgoo, Annie S. Chen +5

Standard training via empirical risk minimization (ERM) can produce models that achieve high accuracy on average but low accuracy on certain groups, especially in the presence of s…

Accuracy on the Line: On the Strong Correlation Between Out-of-Distribution and In-Distribution Generalization

John Miller, Rohan Taori, Aditi Raghunathan +6

For machine learning systems to be reliable, we must understand their performance in unseen, out-of-distribution environments. In this paper, we empirically show that out-of-distri…

Break-It-Fix-It: Unsupervised Learning for Program Repair

Michihiro Yasunaga, Percy Liang

We consider repair tasks: given a critic (e.g., compiler) that assesses the quality of an input, the goal is to train a fixer that converts a bad example (e.g., code with syntax er…

Swords: A Benchmark for Lexical Substitution with Improved Data Coverage and Quality

Mina Lee, Chris Donahue, Robin Jia +2

We release a new benchmark for lexical substitution, the task of finding appropriate substitutes for a target word in a context. To assist humans with writing, lexical substitution…

QA-GNN: Reasoning with Language Models and Knowledge Graphs for Question Answering

Michihiro Yasunaga, Hongyu Ren, Antoine Bosselut +2

The problem of answering questions using knowledge from pre-trained language models (LMs) and knowledge graphs (KGs) presents two challenges: given a QA context (question and answe…

Do Question Answering Modeling Improvements Hold Across Benchmarks?

Nelson F. Liu, Tony Lee, Robin Jia +1

Do question answering (QA) modeling improvements (e.g., choice of architecture and training procedure) hold consistently across the diverse landscape of QA benchmarks? To study thi…

Prefix-Tuning: Optimizing Continuous Prompts for Generation

Xiang Lisa Li, Percy Liang

Fine-tuning is the de facto way to leverage large pretrained language models to perform downstream tasks. However, it modifies all the language model parameters and therefore neces…
