Code-Aware Prompting: A study of Coverage Guided Test Generation in Regression Setting using LLM

no code implementations31 Jan 2024 Gabriel Ryan, Siddhartha Jain, Mingyue Shang, Shiqi Wang, Xiaofei Ma, Murali Krishna Ramanathan, Baishakhi Ray

Recent work using large language models (LLMs) for test generation have focused on improving generation quality through optimizing the test generation context and correcting errors in model outputs, but use fixed prompting strategies that prompt the model to generate tests without additional guidance.

Lightweight reranking for language model generations

no code implementations11 Jul 2023 Siddhartha Jain, Xiaofei Ma, Anoop Deoras, Bing Xiang

We show strong improvements for selecting the best k generations for code generation tasks as well as robust improvements for the best generation for the tasks of autoformalization, summarization, and translation.

Robust Information Retrieval for False Claims with Distracting Entities In Fact Extraction and Verification

no code implementations10 Dec 2021 Mingwen Dong, Christos Christodoulopoulos, Sheng-Min Shih, Xiaofei Ma

A BERT-based retrieval model made more mistakes in retrieving refuting evidence for false claims than supporting evidence for true claims.

Multi-passage BERT: A Globally Normalized BERT Model for Open-domain Question Answering

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Zhiguo Wang, Patrick Ng, Xiaofei Ma, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

To tackle this issue, we propose a multi-passage BERT model to globally normalize answer scores across all passages of the same question, and this change enables our QA model find better answers by utilizing more passages.

Passage Ranking with Weak Supervision

no code implementations ICLR Workshop LLD 2019 Peng Xu, Xiaofei Ma, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang

In this paper, we propose a \textit{weak supervision} framework for neural ranking tasks based on the data programming paradigm \citep{Ratner2016}, which enables us to leverage multiple weak supervision signals from different sources.
