Challenge: Autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated "emergent abilities" such as in-context learning, instruction following and reasoning.
Approach: They propose a method that generates rationales from post hoc explanation methods applied to small language models to improve their own performance.
Outcome: The proposed method improves on four SLMs and five datasets with strong reasoning abilities.

Using Natural Language Explanations to Improve Robustness of In-context Learning (2024.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent studies show that large language models excel in many tasks via in-context learning (ICL). However, ICL struggles to execute complex tasks such as arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning.
Approach: They propose to augment ICL with natural language explanations (NLEs) to produce further NLEs on adversarial datasets.
Outcome: The proposed approach yields more accurate results than zero-shot-ICL and using only human-generated NLEs on eight adversarial datasets.
Large Language Models Can Self-Improve (2023.emnlp-main)

Challenge: Large Language Models (LLMs) have excellent performance in various tasks, but fine-tuning requires extensive supervision.
Approach: They propose to use a pre-trained Large Language Model to generate rationale-augmented answers for unlabeled questions and fine-tune the LLM using those self-generated solutions as target outputs.
Outcome: The proposed approach improves the general reasoning ability of a 540B-parameter LLM without any ground truth label.
