On the Same Wavelength? Evaluating Pragmatic Reasoning in Language Models across Broad Concepts
Linlu Qiu, Cedegao E. Zhang, Joshua B. Tenenbaum +2
Language use is shaped by pragmatics -- i.e., reasoning about communicative goals and norms in context. As language models (LMs) are increasingly used as conversational agents, it…
Lookback Lens: Detecting and Mitigating Contextual Hallucinations in Large Language Models Using Only Attention Maps
Yung-Sung Chuang, Linlu Qiu, Cheng-Yu Hsieh +3
When asked to summarize articles or answer questions given a passage, large language models (LLMs) can hallucinate details and respond with unsubstantiated answers that are inaccur…
Bias Amplification in Language Model Evolution: An Iterated Learning Perspective
Yi Ren, Shangmin Guo, Linlu Qiu +2
With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), the prevalence of iterative interactions among these models is anticipated to increase. Notably, recent advancements i…
Phenomenal Yet Puzzling: Testing Inductive Reasoning Capabilities of Language Models with Hypothesis Refinement
Linlu Qiu, Liwei Jiang, Ximing Lu +8
The ability to derive underlying principles from a handful of observations and then generalize to novel situations -- known as inductive reasoning -- is central to human intelligen…
Reasoning or Reciting? Exploring the Capabilities and Limitations of Language Models Through Counterfactual Tasks
Zhaofeng Wu, Linlu Qiu, Alexis Ross +6
The impressive performance of recent language models across a wide range of tasks suggests that they possess a degree of abstract reasoning skills. Are these skills general and tra…
