Large Language Models Might Not Care What You Are Saying: Prompt Format Beats Descriptions

EMNLP 2025

With the help of in-context learning (ICL), large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive performance across various tasks. However, the function of descriptive instructions during ICL remains under-explored. In this work, we propose an ensemble prompt framework to describe the selection cri

SCOI: Syntax-augmented Coverage-based In-context Example Selection for Machine Translation

EMNLP 2024main

In-context learning (ICL) greatly improves the performance of large language models (LLMs) on various down-stream tasks, where the improvement highly depends on the quality of demonstrations. In this work, we introduce syntactic knowledge to select better in-context examples for machine translation…

Ungrammatical-syntax-based In-context Example Selection for Grammatical Error Correction

NAACL 2024long

In the era of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) stands out as an effective prompting strategy that explores LLMs’ potency across various tasks. However, applying LLMs to grammatical error correction (GEC) is still a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a novel ungrammati…

Are Pre-trained Language Models Useful for Model Ensemble in Chinese Grammatical Error Correction?

ACL 2023short

Model ensemble has been in widespread use for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC), boosting model performance. We hypothesize that model ensemble based on the perplexity (PPL) computed by pre-trained language models (PLMs) should benefit the GEC system. To this end, we explore several ensemble strate…
