Leveraging Large Language Models for Multiple Choice Question Answering

1 code implementation22 Oct 2022 Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting, David Wingate

A more natural prompting approach is to present the question and answer options to the LLM jointly and have it output the symbol (e. g., "A") associated with its chosen answer option.

Towards Neural Programming Interfaces

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Zachary C. Brown, Nathaniel Robinson, David Wingate, Nancy Fulda

It is notoriously difficult to control the behavior of artificial neural networks such as generative neural language models.

Probabilistic programs for inferring the goals of autonomous agents

1 code implementation17 Apr 2017 Marco F. Cusumano-Towner, Alexey Radul, David Wingate, Vikash K. Mansinghka

Intelligent systems sometimes need to infer the probable goals of people, cars, and robots, based on partial observations of their motion.

Embedding Grammars

no code implementations14 Aug 2018 David Wingate, William Myers, Nancy Fulda, Tyler Etchart

Classic grammars and regular expressions can be used for a variety of purposes, including parsing, intent detection, and matching.

Nested Reasoning About Autonomous Agents Using Probabilistic Programs

no code implementations4 Dec 2018 Iris Rubi Seaman, Jan-Willem van de Meent, David Wingate

As autonomous agents become more ubiquitous, they will eventually have to reason about the plans of other agents, which is known as theory of mind reasoning.

Nonstandard Interpretations of Probabilistic Programs for Efficient Inference

no code implementations NeurIPS 2011 David Wingate, Noah Goodman, Andreas Stuhlmueller, Jeffrey M. Siskind

Probabilistic programming languages allow modelers to specify a stochastic process using syntax that resembles modern programming languages.

Automated Variational Inference in Probabilistic Programming

no code implementations7 Jan 2013 David Wingate, Theophane Weber

We present a new algorithm for approximate inference in probabilistic programs, based on a stochastic gradient for variational programs.

Graph Neural Processes: Towards Bayesian Graph Neural Networks

no code implementations26 Feb 2019 Andrew Carr, David Wingate

We introduce Graph Neural Processes (GNP), inspired by the recent work in conditional and latent neural processes.

Video Extrapolation with an Invertible Linear Embedding

no code implementations1 Mar 2019 Robert Pottorff, Jared Nielsen, David Wingate

We predict future video frames from complex dynamic scenes, using an invertible neural network as the encoder of a nonlinear dynamic system with latent linear state evolution.

Wasserstein Neural Processes

no code implementations1 Oct 2019 Andrew Carr, Jared Nielsen, David Wingate

Neural Processes (NPs) are a class of models that learn a mapping from a context set of input-output pairs to a distribution over functions.

Human-robot co-manipulation of extended objects: Data-driven models and control from analysis of human-human dyads

no code implementations3 Jan 2020 Erich Mielke, Eric Townsend, David Wingate, Marc D. Killpack

We show that our human-human dyad data has interesting trends including that interaction forces are non-negligible compared to the force required to accelerate an object and that the beginning of a lateral movement is characterized by distinct torque triggers from the leader of the dyad.

Leveraging the Inductive Bias of Large Language Models for Abstract Textual Reasoning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Christopher Michael Rytting, David Wingate

Large natural language models (such as GPT-3 or T5) demonstrate impressive abilities across a range of general NLP tasks.

An Information-theoretic Approach to Prompt Engineering Without Ground Truth Labels

no code implementations ACL 2022 Taylor Sorensen, Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting, Alexander Glenn Shaw, Kyle Jeffrey Rogers, Alexia Pauline Delorey, Mahmoud Khalil, Nancy Fulda, David Wingate

Pre-trained language models derive substantial linguistic and factual knowledge from the massive corpora on which they are trained, and prompt engineering seeks to align these models to specific tasks.

Out of One, Many: Using Language Models to Simulate Human Samples

no code implementations14 Sep 2022 Lisa P. Argyle, Ethan C. Busby, Nancy Fulda, Joshua Gubler, Christopher Rytting, David Wingate

We propose and explore the possibility that language models can be studied as effective proxies for specific human sub-populations in social science research.

Prompt Compression and Contrastive Conditioning for Controllability and Toxicity Reduction in Language Models

no code implementations6 Oct 2022 David Wingate, Mohammad Shoeybi, Taylor Sorensen

We explore the idea of compressing the prompts used to condition language models, and show that compressed prompts can retain a substantive amount of information about the original prompt.
