EMNLP 2023 Eighth Conference on Machine Translation (WMT23)2023Neural metrics trained on human evaluations of MT tend to correlate well with human judgments, but their behavior is not fully understood. In this paper, we perform a controlled experiment and compare a baseline metric that has not been trained on human evaluations (Prism) to a trained version of the same metric (Prism+FT). Surprisingly, we find that Prism+FT becomes more robust to machinetranslated references

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Optimization for Machine Learning (OPT2023)2023Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has shown remarkable success in the field of multimodal learning by enabling joint understanding of text and images. In this paper, we introduce a novel method called Multi-head CLIP, inspired by Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) and Sharpness-aware Minimization (SAM). Our approach aims to enhance CLIP’s learning capability by encouraging the model

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Robustness of Zero/Few-shot Learning in Foundation Models (R0-FoMo)2023Recent advances in multimodal foundational models have demonstrated marvelous in-context learning capabilities for diverse vision-language tasks. However, existing literature have mainly focused on few-shot learning tasks similar to their NLP counterparts. It is unclear whether these foundation models can also address classical vision challenges such as few-shot classification, which in some settings (e.g

NeurIPS 20232023This study focuses on the evaluation of the Open Question Answering (Open-QA) task, which can directly estimate the factuality of large language models (LLMs). Current automatic evaluation methods have shown limitations, indicating that human evaluation still remains the most reliable approach. We introduce a new task, Evaluating QA Evaluation (QA-Eval) and the corresponding dataset EVOUNA, designed to

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Instruction Tuning and Instruction Following2023Learning from human feedback is a prominent technique to align the output of large language models (LLMs) with human expectations. Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) leverages human preference signals that are in the form of ranking of response pairs to perform this alignment. However, human preference on LLM outputs can come in much richer forms including natural language, which may provide
