Information-Theoretic Distillation for Reference-less Summarization
The current winning recipe for automatic summarization is using proprietary large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT as is, or imitation learning from them as teacher models.
JAMDEC: Unsupervised Authorship Obfuscation using Constrained Decoding over Small Language Models
The permanence of online content combined with the enhanced authorship identification techniques calls for stronger computational methods to protect the identity and privacy of online authorship when needed, e. g., blind reviews for scientific papers, anonymous online reviews, or anonymous interactions in the mental health forums.
A Roadmap to Pluralistic Alignment
We identify and formalize three possible ways to define and operationalize pluralism in AI systems: 1) Overton pluralistic models that present a spectrum of reasonable responses; 2) Steerably pluralistic models that can steer to reflect certain perspectives; and 3) Distributionally pluralistic models that are well-calibrated to a given population in distribution.

We present NovaCOMET, an open commonsense knowledge model, that combines the best aspects of knowledge and general task models.

Tailoring Self-Rationalizers with Multi-Reward Distillation
Results on five difficult question-answering datasets StrategyQA, QuaRel, OpenBookQA, NumerSense and QASC show that not only does MaRio improve task accuracy, but it also improves the self-rationalization quality of small LMs across the aforementioned axes better than a supervised fine-tuning (SFT) baseline.
The Generative AI Paradox: "What It Can Create, It May Not Understand"
Specifically, we propose and test the Generative AI Paradox hypothesis: generative models, having been trained directly to reproduce expert-like outputs, acquire generative capabilities that are not contingent upon -- and can therefore exceed -- their ability to understand those same types of outputs.
Phenomenal Yet Puzzling: Testing Inductive Reasoning Capabilities of Language Models with Hypothesis Refinement
The ability to derive underlying principles from a handful of observations and then generalize to novel situations -- known as inductive reasoning -- is central to human intelligence.
Value Kaleidoscope: Engaging AI with Pluralistic Human Values, Rights, and Duties
To improve AI systems to better reflect value pluralism, the first-order challenge is to explore the extent to which AI systems can model pluralistic human values, rights, and duties as well as their interaction.
Faith and Fate: Limits of Transformers on Compositionality
We formulate compositional tasks as computation graphs to systematically quantify the level of complexity, and break down reasoning steps into intermediate sub-procedures.
Impossible Distillation: from Low-Quality Model to High-Quality Dataset & Model for Summarization and Paraphrasing
We present Impossible Distillation, a novel framework for paraphrasing and sentence summarization, that distills a high-quality dataset and model from a low-quality teacher that itself cannot perform these tasks.
Leftover-Lunch: Advantage-based Offline Reinforcement Learning for Language Models
However, RLHF is an unstable and data-hungry process that continually requires new high-quality LM-generated data for finetuning.
Inference-Time Policy Adapters (IPA): Tailoring Extreme-Scale LMs without Fine-tuning
While extreme-scale language models have demonstrated exceptional performance on a variety of language tasks, the degree of control over these language models through pure prompting can often be limited.
Fusing Pre-Trained Language Models With Multimodal Prompts Through Reinforcement Learning
Language models are capable of commonsense reasoning: while domain-specific models can learn from explicit knowledge (e. g. commonsense graphs [6], ethical norms [25]), and larger models like GPT-3 manifest broad commonsense reasoning capacity.

Context is everything, even in commonsense moral reasoning.
SODA: Million-scale Dialogue Distillation with Social Commonsense Contextualization
Data scarcity has been a long standing issue in the field of open-domain social dialogue.
I2D2: Inductive Knowledge Distillation with NeuroLogic and Self-Imitation
Here, we investigate an alternative that a priori seems impossible: can smaller language models (e. g., GPT-2) win over models that are orders of magnitude larger and better (e. g., GPT-3), if powered with novel commonsense distillation algorithms?
Generating Sequences by Learning to Self-Correct
Sequence generation applications require satisfying semantic constraints, such as ensuring that programs are correct, using certain keywords, or avoiding undesirable content.
Rainier: Reinforced Knowledge Introspector for Commonsense Question Answering
Our work is the first to report that knowledge generated by models that are orders of magnitude smaller than GPT-3, even without direct supervision on the knowledge itself, can exceed the quality of commonsense knowledge elicited from GPT-3.

Large-scale language models often learn behaviors that are misaligned with user expectations.
NaturalProver: Grounded Mathematical Proof Generation with Language Models
Theorem proving in natural mathematical language - the mixture of symbolic and natural language used by humans - plays a central role in mathematical advances and education, and tests aspects of reasoning that are core to intelligence.

Our results show that commonsense knowledge models can rapidly adapt from limited examples, indicating that KG fine-tuning serves to learn an interface to encoded knowledge learned during pretraining.
NeuroLogic Decoding: (Un)supervised Neural Text Generation with Predicate Logic Constraints
While the dominant recipe for conditional text generation has been large-scale pretrained language models that are finetuned on the task-specific training data, such models do not learn to follow the underlying constraints reliably, even when supervised with large amounts of task-specific examples.
