Benford's Curse: Tracing Digit Bias to Numerical Hallucination in LLMs

Jiandong Shao, Yao Lu, Jianfei Yang

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit impressive performance on complex reasoning tasks, yet they frequently fail on basic numerical problems, producing incorrect outputs. Inspired…

Drawing Conclusions from Draws: Rethinking Preference Semantics in Arena-Style LLM Evaluation

Raphael Tang, Crystina Zhang, Wenyan Li +3

In arena-style evaluation of large language models (LLMs), two LLMs respond to a user query, and the user chooses the winning response or deems the "battle" a draw, resulting in an…

Multilingual Language Model Pretraining using Machine-translated Data

Jiayi Wang, Yao Lu, Maurice Weber +5

High-resource languages such as English, enables the pretraining of high-quality large language models (LLMs). The same can not be said for most other languages as LLMs still under…

Multilingual Pretraining Using a Large Corpus Machine-Translated from a Single Source Language

Jiayi Wang, Yao Lu, Maurice Weber +4

English, as a very high-resource language, enables the pretraining of high-quality large language models (LLMs). The same cannot be said for most other languages, as leading LLMs s…

Strings from the Library of Babel: Random Sampling as a Strong Baseline for Prompt Optimisation

Yao Lu, Jiayi Wang, Raphael Tang +2

Recent prompt optimisation approaches use the generative nature of language models to produce prompts -- even rivaling the performance of human-curated prompts. In this paper, we d…
