| Challenge: | Recent studies have looked into the ability of large language models in various benchmark tasks, including question generation, reading comprehension, multilingual and etc. However, few studies investigate the controllability of large languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to compare large language models with state-of-the-start finetuned smaller models to find that large language model controls are comparable to smaller models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can meet hard constraints and perform better than state-of-the-art models. |
