• Abstract summary: This paper adapts an existing unsupervised technique for measuring text fluency without the need for any reference. Our approach leverages various word embeddings and trains language models using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures. To assess the performance of the models, we conduct a comparative analysis across 10 Indic languages.

• Abstract: Fluency is a crucial goal of all Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems. Widely used automatic evaluation metrics fall short in capturing the fluency of machine-generated text. Assessing the fluency of NLG systems poses a challenge since these models are not limited to simply reusing words from the input but may also generate abstractions. Existing reference-based fluency evaluations, such as word overlap measures, often exhibit weak correlations with human judgments. This paper adapts an existing unsupervised technique for measuring text fluency without the need for any reference. Our approach leverages various word embeddings and trains language models using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures. We also experiment with other available multilingual Language Models (LMs). To assess the performance of the models, we conduct a comparative analysis across 10 Indic languages, correlating the obtained fluency scores with human judgments. Our code and human-annotated benchmark test-set for fluency is available at https://github.com/AnanyaCoder/TextFluencyForIndicLanaguges.

  Language models that convincingly mimic human writing pose a significant risk of abuse. We propose to leverage representations of writing style estimated from human-authored text. We find that features effective at distinguishing among human authors are also effective at distinguishing human from machine authors.

  We introduce the first open-source benchmark to utilize external large language models (LLMs) for ASR error correction.

LLMs with reasonable prompt and its generative capability can even correct those tokens that are missing in N-best list.

  We propose a benchmark that can evaluate intra-sentence discourse properties across a diverse set of NLP tasks. Disco-Bench consists of 9 document-level testsets in the literature domain, which contain rich discourse phenomena. For linguistic analysis, we also design a diagnostic test suite that can examine whether the target models learn discourse knowledge.

  We present G-Eval, a framework of using large language models with chain-of-thoughts (CoT) and a form-filling paradigm to assess the quality of NLG outputs. We show that G-Eval with GPT-4 as the backbone model achieves a Spearman correlation of 0.514 with human on summarization task, outperforming all previous methods by a large margin.

  Adversarial GLUE (AdvGLUE) is a new multi-task benchmark to explore and evaluate the vulnerabilities of modern large-scale language models under various types of adversarial attacks. We apply 14 adversarial attack methods to GLUE tasks to construct AdvGLUE, which is further validated by humans for reliable annotations. All the language models and robust training methods we tested perform poorly on AdvGLUE, with scores lagging far behind the benign accuracy.
