Papers with generative ability
Self-generated Replay Memories for Continual Neural Machine Translation (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural Machine Translation systems exhibit strong performance in several different languages, but their ability to learn continuously is limited by catastrophic forgetting. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that leverages a key property of encoder-decoder Transformers, i.e. their generative ability, to continuously learn Neural Machine Translation systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach can counteract catastrophic forgetting without explicit memorization of training data. |
Don’t Generate, Discriminate: A Proposal for Grounding Language Models to Real-World Environments (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing language models lack grounding to real-world environments . a missing piece is the connection between LMs and the environment . |
| Approach: | They propose a generic framework for grounded language understanding that capitalizes on discriminative ability of LMs instead of their generative ability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework capitalizes on discriminative ability of LMs instead of their generative ability. |

| Challenge: | Large language models can perform a wide range of tasks by following natural language instructions without task-specific fine-tuning. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to automatically improve the quality of LLM instructions . they leverage the generative ability of LMS to generate diverse candidate instructions based on a scoring model trained on 575 existing NLP tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method surpasses human-written and LLM-generated instructions on 118 out-of-domain tasks. |

| Challenge: | Existing work utilizes generative LLMs for Information Retrieval (IR) rather than direct passage ranking. |
| Approach: | They investigate generative LLMs such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 for relevance ranking in IR and use a test set to verify the model’s ability to rank unknown knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms a 3B supervised model on the BEIR benchmark. |
