• Abstract: This paper proposes the task of automatic assessment of Sentence Translation Exercises (STEs), that have been used in the early stage of L2 language learning. We formalize the task as grading student responses for each rubric criterion pre-specified by the educators. We then create a dataset for STE between Japanese and English including 21 questions, along with a total of 3, 498 student responses (167 on average). The answer responses were collected from students and crowd workers. Using this dataset, we demonstrate the performance of baselines including finetuned BERT and GPT models with few-shot in-context learning. Experimental results show that the baseline model with finetuned BERT was able to classify correct responses with approximately 90% in F1, but only less than 80% for incorrect responses. Furthermore, the GPT models with few-shot learning show poorer results than finetuned BERT, indicating that our newly proposed task presents a challenging issue, even for the stateof-the-art large language models.

LIMA demonstrates remarkably strong performance, learning to follow specific response formats from only a handful of examples. In a controlled human study, responses from LIMA are either equivalent or strictly preferred to GPT-4 in 43% of cases.

• How Does In-Context Learning Help Prompt Tuning? [55.78535874154915]
  Fine-tuning large language models is becoming ever more impractical due to their rapidly-growing scale. This motivates the use of parameter-efficient adaptation methods such as prompt tuning (PT), which adds a small number of tunable embeddings to an otherwise frozen model. Recently, Singhal et al. (2022) propose instruction prompt tuning'' (IPT), which combines PT with ICL by concatenating a natural language demonstration with learned prompt embeddings.
