Toward Next-Gen Language Models: New Benchmarks Test the Limits of Large Language Models

A new benchmark aims to raise the bar for large language models. Researchers at 132 institutions worldwide introduced the Beyond the Imitation Game benchmark (BIG-bench), which includes tasks that humans perform well but current state-of-the-art models don’t.

Ask Me in a Different Way: Prompt Engineering Improves Few-Shot Learning Results

Pretrained language models like GPT-3 have shown notable proficiency in few-shot learning. Given a prompt that includes a few example questions and answers (the shots) plus an unanswered question (the task), such models can generate an accurate answer.

Pattern for Efficient Learning: A training method for few-shot learning in computer vision.

Getting high accuracy out of a classifier trained on a small number of examples is tricky. You might train the model on several large-scale datasets prior to few-shot training, but what if the few-shot dataset includes novel classes? A new method performs well even in that case.

Better Language Through Vision: Study improved Bert performance using visual tokens.

For children, associating a word with a picture that illustrates it helps them learn the word’s meaning. Research aims to do something similar for machine learning models. Researchers improved a BERT model’s performance on some language tasks by training it on a large dataset of image-word pairs.

Small Data the Simple Way: A training technique that can outperform few-shot learning

Few-shot learning seeks to build models that adapt to novel tasks based on small numbers of training examples. This sort of learning typically involves complicated techniques, but researchers achieved state-of-the-art results using a simpler approach.
