Helping or Herding? Reward Model Ensembles Mitigate but do not Eliminate Reward Hacking

no code implementations14 Dec 2023 Jacob Eisenstein, Chirag Nagpal, Alekh Agarwal, Ahmad Beirami, Alex D'Amour, DJ Dvijotham, Adam Fisch, Katherine Heller, Stephen Pfohl, Deepak Ramachandran, Peter Shaw, Jonathan Berant

However, even pretrain reward ensembles do not eliminate reward hacking: we show several qualitative reward hacking phenomena that are not mitigated by ensembling because all reward models in the ensemble exhibit similar error patterns.

From Pixels to UI Actions: Learning to Follow Instructions via Graphical User Interfaces

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Peter Shaw, Mandar Joshi, James Cohan, Jonathan Berant, Panupong Pasupat, Hexiang Hu, Urvashi Khandelwal, Kenton Lee, Kristina Toutanova

Much of the previous work towards digital agents for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) has relied on text-based representations (derived from HTML or other structured data sources), which are not always readily available.

QUEST: A Retrieval Dataset of Entity-Seeking Queries with Implicit Set Operations

1 code implementation19 May 2023 Chaitanya Malaviya, Peter Shaw, Ming-Wei Chang, Kenton Lee, Kristina Toutanova

To study the ability of retrieval systems to meet such information needs, we construct QUEST, a dataset of 3357 natural language queries with implicit set operations, that map to a set of entities corresponding to Wikipedia documents.

The Variability of Model Specification

no code implementations6 Oct 2021 Joseph R. Barr, Peter Shaw, Marcus Sobel

It's regarded as an axiom that a good model is one that compromises between bias and variance.

Visually Grounded Concept Composition

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 BoWen Zhang, Hexiang Hu, Linlu Qiu, Peter Shaw, Fei Sha

We investigate ways to compose complex concepts in texts from primitive ones while grounding them in images.

Systematic Generalization on gSCAN: What is Nearly Solved and What is Next?

2 code implementations EMNLP 2021 Linlu Qiu, Hexiang Hu, BoWen Zhang, Peter Shaw, Fei Sha

We analyze the grounded SCAN (gSCAN) benchmark, which was recently proposed to study systematic generalization for grounded language understanding.

Graph-Based Decoding for Task Oriented Semantic Parsing

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Jeremy R. Cole, Nanjiang Jiang, Panupong Pasupat, Luheng He, Peter Shaw

The dominant paradigm for semantic parsing in recent years is to formulate parsing as a sequence-to-sequence task, generating predictions with auto-regressive sequence decoders.

Unlocking Compositional Generalization in Pre-trained Models Using Intermediate Representations

2 code implementations15 Apr 2021 Jonathan Herzig, Peter Shaw, Ming-Wei Chang, Kelvin Guu, Panupong Pasupat, Yuan Zhang

Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models are prevalent in semantic parsing, but have been found to struggle at out-of-distribution compositional generalization.

Compositional Generalization and Natural Language Variation: Can a Semantic Parsing Approach Handle Both?

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Peter Shaw, Ming-Wei Chang, Panupong Pasupat, Kristina Toutanova

This has motivated new specialized architectures with stronger compositional biases, but most of these approaches have only been evaluated on synthetically-generated datasets, which are not representative of natural language variation.

Exploring Unexplored Generalization Challenges for Cross-Database Semantic Parsing

no code implementations ACL 2020 Alane Suhr, Ming-Wei Chang, Peter Shaw, Kenton Lee

We study the task of cross-database semantic parsing (XSP), where a system that maps natural language utterances to executable SQL queries is evaluated on databases unseen during training.

A Random Interaction Forest for Prioritizing Predictive Biomarkers

no code implementations4 Oct 2019 Zhen Zeng, Yuefeng Lu, Judong Shen, Wei Zheng, Peter Shaw, Mary Beth Dorr

Precision medicine is becoming a focus in medical research recently, as its implementation brings values to all stakeholders in the healthcare system.

Answering Conversational Questions on Structured Data without Logical Forms

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Thomas Müller, Francesco Piccinno, Massimo Nicosia, Peter Shaw, Yasemin Altun

We present a novel approach to answering sequential questions based on structured objects such as knowledge bases or tables without using a logical form as an intermediate representation.

Self-Attention with Relative Position Representations

12 code implementations NAACL 2018 Peter Shaw, Jakob Uszkoreit, Ashish Vaswani

On the WMT 2014 English-to-German and English-to-French translation tasks, this approach yields improvements of 1. 3 BLEU and 0. 3 BLEU over absolute position representations, respectively.
