The Curious Case of Neural Text Degeneration
Despite considerable advancements with deep neural language models, the enigma of neural text degeneration persists when these models are tested as text generators.
QLoRA: Efficient Finetuning of Quantized LLMs
Our best model family, which we name Guanaco, outperforms all previous openly released models on the Vicuna benchmark, reaching 99. 3% of the performance level of ChatGPT while only requiring 24 hours of finetuning on a single GPU.
Defending Against Neural Fake News
We find that best current discriminators can classify neural fake news from real, human-written, news with 73% accuracy, assuming access to a moderate level of training data.

Rethinking the Role of Demonstrations: What Makes In-Context Learning Work?
Large language models (LMs) are able to in-context learn -- perform a new task via inference alone by conditioning on a few input-label pairs (demonstrations) and making predictions for new inputs.
Contrastive Decoding: Open-ended Text Generation as Optimization
We propose contrastive decoding (CD), a reliable decoding approach that optimizes a contrastive objective subject to a plausibility constraint.
CLIPScore: A Reference-free Evaluation Metric for Image Captioning
Image captioning has conventionally relied on reference-based automatic evaluations, where machine captions are compared against captions written by humans.

Counterfactual Story Reasoning and Generation
Counterfactual reasoning requires predicting how alternative events, contrary to what actually happened, might have resulted in different outcomes.
Tactical Rewind: Self-Correction via Backtracking in Vision-and-Language Navigation
We present the Frontier Aware Search with backTracking (FAST) Navigator, a general framework for action decoding, that achieves state-of-the-art results on the Room-to-Room (R2R) Vision-and-Language navigation challenge of Anderson et.

Learning to Write with Cooperative Discriminators
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful autoregressive sequence models, but when used to generate natural language their output tends to be overly generic, repetitive, and self-contradictory.
Surface Form Competition: Why the Highest Probability Answer Isn't Always Right
Large language models have shown promising results in zero-shot settings (Brown et al., 2020; Radford et al., 2019).
Surface Form Competition: Why the Highest Probability Answer Isn’t Always Right
Large language models have shown promising results in zero-shot settings.
DEMix Layers: Disentangling Domains for Modular Language Modeling
We introduce a new domain expert mixture (DEMix) layer that enables conditioning a language model (LM) on the domain of the input text.
HellaSwag: Can a Machine Really Finish Your Sentence?
In this paper, we show that commonsense inference still proves difficult for even state-of-the-art models, by presenting HellaSwag, a new challenge dataset.

TuringAdvice: A Generative and Dynamic Evaluation of Language Use
We propose TuringAdvice, a new challenge task and dataset for language understanding models.
Do Neural Language Representations Learn Physical Commonsense?
Humans understand language based on the rich background knowledge about how the physical world works, which in turn allows us to reason about the physical world through language.
CacheGen: KV Cache Compression and Streaming for Fast Language Model Serving
Compared to the recent systems that reuse the KV cache, CacheGen reduces the KV cache size by 3. 7-4. 3x and the total delay in fetching and processing contexts by 2. 7-3. 2x while having negligible impact on the LLM response quality in accuracy or perplexity.
Experience Grounds Language
Language understanding research is held back by a failure to relate language to the physical world it describes and to the social interactions it facilitates.
Simulating Action Dynamics with Neural Process Networks
Understanding procedural language requires anticipating the causal effects of actions, even when they are not explicitly stated.
Sounding Board: A User-Centric and Content-Driven Social Chatbot
We present Sounding Board, a social chatbot that won the 2017 Amazon Alexa Prize.
Connotation Frames of Power and Agency in Modern Films
The framing of an action influences how we perceive its actor.
Learning to Write by Learning the Objective
Human evaluation demonstrates that text generated by the resulting generator is preferred over that of baselines by a large margin and significantly enhances the overall coherence, style, and information content of the generated text.
Discourse Understanding and Factual Consistency in Abstractive Summarization
We introduce a general framework for abstractive summarization with factual consistency and distinct modeling of the narrative flow in an output summary.
BottleSum: Unsupervised and Self-supervised Sentence Summarization using the Information Bottleneck Principle
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to unsupervised sentence summarization by mapping the Information Bottleneck principle to a conditional language modelling objective: given a sentence, our approach seeks a compressed sentence that can best predict the next sentence.
Reflective Decoding: Beyond Unidirectional Generation with Off-the-Shelf Language Models
In this paper, we present Reflective Decoding, a novel unsupervised algorithm that allows for direct application of unidirectional LMs to non-sequential tasks.
MultiTalk: A Highly-Branching Dialog Testbed for Diverse Conversations
We study conversational dialog in which there are many possible responses to a given history.
PIGLeT: Language Grounding Through Neuro-Symbolic Interaction in a 3D World
We propose PIGLeT: a model that learns physical commonsense knowledge through interaction, and then uses this knowledge to ground language.
What Do NLP Researchers Believe? Results of the NLP Community Metasurvey
We present the results of the NLP Community Metasurvey.
Toward Human Readable Prompt Tuning: Kubrick's The Shining is a good movie, and a good prompt too?
Large language models can perform new tasks in a zero-shot fashion, given natural language prompts that specify the desired behavior.
Generative Models as a Complex Systems Science: How can we make sense of large language model behavior?
Coaxing out desired behavior from pretrained models, while avoiding undesirable ones, has redefined NLP and is reshaping how we interact with computers.
Artificial Intelligence and Aesthetic Judgment
In this essay, we focus on an unresolved tension when we bring this dilemma to bear in the context of generative AI: are we looking for proof that generated media reflects something about the conditions that created it or some eternal human essence?
How FaR Are Large Language Models From Agents with Theory-of-Mind?
We propose a new evaluation paradigm for large language models (LLMs): Thinking for Doing (T4D), which requires models to connect inferences about others' mental states to actions in social scenarios.
