• Authors: Wenbei Xie
• Abstract summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a range of natural language processing tasks. To address this gap, a new form of Question-Answering (QA) task, termed Reasoning with Redundant Information Provided (RRIP), is introduced. This study evaluates two popular LLMs, LlaMA2-13B-chat and generative pre-trained transformer 3.5 (GPT-3.5), contrasting their performance on traditional QA tasks against RRIP tasks.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a range of natural language processing tasks, especially in reasoning, a cornerstone for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, commonly used benchmarks may not fully encapsulate the inferential abilities of these models in real-world scenarios. To address this gap, a new form of Question-Answering (QA) task, termed Reasoning with Redundant Information Provided (RRIP), is introduced. The study designed a modified version of the grade school math 8K (GSM-8K) dataset which has several variants focusing on different attributes of redundant information. This investigation evaluates two popular LLMs, LlaMA2-13B-chat and generative pre-trained transformer 3.5 (GPT-3.5), contrasting their performance on traditional QA tasks against the RRIP tasks. Findings indicate that while these models achieved moderate success on standard QA benchmarks, their performance notably declines when assessed on RRIP tasks. The study not only highlights the limitations of current LLMs in handling redundant information but also suggests that future training of these models should focus on incorporating redundant information into the training data to increase the performance on RRIP tasks.

  Previous research has shown that existing models, when trained on EQA datasets that include unanswerable questions, demonstrate a significant lack of robustness. Our proposed training method includes a novel loss function for the EQA problem and challenges an implicit assumption present in numerous EQA datasets. Our models exhibit significantly enhanced robustness against two types of adversarial attacks, with a performance decrease of only about a third compared to the default models.

We identify the core challenge behind these drawbacks: the LM-logical discrepancy featuring the difference between language modeling probabilities and logical probabilities.
