Distilling Step-by-Step! Outperforming Larger Language Models with Less Training Data and Smaller Model Sizes

ACL 2023findings

Deploying large language models (LLMs) is challenging because they are memory inefficient and compute-intensive for practical applications. In reaction, researchers train smaller task-specific models by either finetuning with human labels or distilling using LLM-generated labels. However, finetuning…

Leveraging Instance Features for Label Aggregation in Programmatic Weak Supervision

AISTATS 2023poster

Programmatic Weak Supervision (PWS) has emerged as a widespread paradigm to synthesize training labels efficiently. The core component of PWS is the label model, which infers true labels by aggregating the outputs of multiple noisy supervision sources abstracted as labeling functions (LFs). Existing…
