• Abstract: This paper presents CAALM-TC (Combining Autoregressive and Autoencoder Language Models for Text Classification), a novel method that enhances text classification by integrating autoregressive and autoencoder language models. Autoregressive large language models such as Open AI's GPT, Meta's Llama or Microsoft's Phi offer promising prospects for content analysis practitioners, but they generally underperform supervised BERT based models for text classification. CAALM leverages autoregressive models to generate contextual information based on input texts, which is then combined with the original text and fed into an autoencoder model for classification. This hybrid approach capitalizes on the extensive contextual knowledge of autoregressive models and the efficient classification capabilities of autoencoders. Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that CAALM consistently outperforms existing methods, particularly in tasks with smaller datasets and more abstract classification objectives. The findings indicate that CAALM offers a scalable and effective solution for automated content analysis in social science research that minimizes sample size requirements.

  We propose a compositional language model program for schema matching, comprised of candidate generation, refinement and confidence scoring. Matchmaker self-improves in a zero-shot manner without the need for labeled demonstrations. Empirically, we demonstrate on real-world medical schema matching benchmarks that Matchmaker outperforms previous ML-based approaches.

  Large language models (LLMs) have brought substantial advancements in text generation, but their potential for enhancing classification tasks remains underexplored. We propose a framework for thoroughly investigating fine-tuning LLMs for classification, including both generation- and encoding-based approaches. We instantiate this framework in edit intent classification (EIC), a challenging and underexplored classification task.

  For many applications it is desirable to control attributes, such as sentiment, of the generated language. For auto-regressive language models, existing guidance methods are prone to decoding errors that cascade during generation and degrade performance. In this paper we use a guided diffusion model to produce a latent proposal that steers an auto-regressive language model to generate text with desired properties.
