Unlocking Anticipatory Text Generation: A Constrained Approach for Large Language Models Decoding (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models have shown a powerful ability for text generation, but undesired behaviors such as toxicity and hallucinations can manifest. |
| Approach: | They propose to formalize text generation as a future-constrained generation problem to minimize undesirable behaviors and enforce faithfulness to instructions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach is effective across three tasks, including keyword-constrained generation, toxicity reduction, and factual correctness in question-answering. |
