• Abstract summary: Nominally, Large Language models (LLM) have been exposed to procedural knowledge about how objects interact, yet our benchmarking shows they fail to reason about the world. In particular, our results indicate that our prompting technique is especially useful for unseen attributes (out-of-domain) or when only limited data is available.

• Abstract: This paper investigates models of event implications. Specifically, how well models predict entity state-changes, by targeting their understanding of physical attributes. Nominally, Large Language models (LLM) have been exposed to procedural knowledge about how objects interact, yet our benchmarking shows they fail to reason about the world. Conversely, we also demonstrate that existing approaches often misrepresent the surprising abilities of LLMs via improper task encodings and that proper model prompting can dramatically improve performance of reported baseline results across multiple tasks. In particular, our results indicate that our prompting technique is especially useful for unseen attributes (out-of-domain) or when only limited data is available.

  Web-scale visual entity recognition presents significant challenges due to the lack of clean, large-scale training data. We propose a novel methodology to curate such a dataset, leveraging a multimodal large language model (LLM) for label verification, metadata generation, and rationale explanation. Experiments demonstrate that models trained on this automatically curated data achieve state-of-the-art performance on web-scale visual entity recognition tasks.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have the capability to understand and generate human-like text from input queries.

  In-context learning (ICL) allows transformer-based language models to learn a specific task with a few "task demonstrations" without updating their parameters. We propose an influence function-based attribution technique, DETAIL, that addresses the specific characteristics of ICL. We experimentally prove the wide applicability of DETAIL by showing our attribution scores obtained on white-box models are transferable to black-box models in improving model performance.

  This work looks at the performance of a range of LLMs on three idiomaticity datasets: SemEval 2022 Task 2a, FLUTE, and MAGPIE. We find that whilst these models do give competitive performance, they do not match the results of fine-tuned task-specific models, even at the largest scales.

  We investigate whether fine-tuning affects the intrinsic generalization ability intrinsic to Large Language Models (LLMs) Our main findings reveal that models fine-tuned on generation and classification tasks exhibit dissimilar behaviors in generalizing to different domains and tasks. We observe that integrating the in-context learning strategy during fine-tuning on generation tasks can enhance the model's generalization ability.
