To Tell The Truth: Language of Deception and Language Models
Text-based false information permeates online discourses, yet evidence of people’s ability to discern truth from such deceptive textual content is scarce. We analyze a novel TV game show data where…
Let's Get to the Point: LLM-Supported Planning, Drafting, and Revising of Research-Paper Blog Posts
Research-paper blog posts help scientists to disseminate their work to a larger audience, but translating scientific long documents into long-form summaries like blog posts raises unique challenges:…
OLMES: A Standard for Language Model Evaluations
Progress in AI is often demonstrated by new models claiming improved performance on tasks measuring model capabilities. Evaluating language models in particular is challenging, as small changes to…
SelfGoal: Your Language Agents Already Know How to Achieve High-level Goals
Language agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly valuable as decision-making tools in domains such as gaming and programming. However, these agents often face challenges in…
Digital Socrates: Evaluating LLMs through explanation critiques
While LLMs can provide reasoned explanations along with their answers, the nature and quality of those explanations are still poorly understood. In response, our goal is to define a detailed way of…
Universal Visual Decomposer: Long-Horizon Manipulation Made Easy
Real-world robotic tasks stretch over extended horizons and encompass multiple stages. Learning long-horizon manipulation tasks, however, is a long-standing challenge, and demands decomposing the…
Mitigating Barriers to Public Social Interaction with Meronymous Communication
In communities with social hierarchies, fear of judgment can discourage communication. While anonymity may alleviate some social pressure, fully anonymous spaces enable toxic behavior and hide the…
PaperWeaver: Enriching Topical Paper Alerts by Contextualizing Recommended Papers with User-collected Papers
With the rapid growth of scholarly archives, researchers subscribe to"paper alert"systems that periodically provide them with recommendations of recently published papers that are similar to…
A Design Space for Intelligent and Interactive Writing Assistants
In our era of rapid technological advancement, the research landscape for writing assistants has become increasingly fragmented across various research communities. We seek to address this challenge…
Improving Language Models with Advantage-based Offline Policy Gradients
Language Models (LMs) achieve substantial language capabilities when finetuned using Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF). However, RLHF is an unstable and data-hungry process that…
