LLM as a Broken Telephone: Iterative Generation Distorts Information

ACL 2025long

As large language models are increasingly responsible for online content, concerns arise about the impact of repeatedly processing their own outputs.Inspired by the “broken telephone” effect in chained human communication, this study investigates whether LLMs similarly distort information through it…

The Curious Decline of Linguistic Diversity: Training Language Models on Synthetic Text

NAACL 2024findings

This study investigates the consequences of training language models on synthetic data generated by their predecessors, an increasingly prevalent practice given the prominence of powerful generative models. Diverging from the usual emphasis on performance metrics, we focus on the impact of this trai…

Automatic Analysis of Substantiation in Scientific Peer Reviews

EMNLP 2023long findings

With the increasing amount of problematic peer reviews in top AI conferences, the community is urgently in need of automatic quality control measures. In this paper, we restrict our attention to substantiation --- one popular quality aspect indicating whether the claims in a review are sufficiently…

FREDSum: A Dialogue Summarization Corpus for French Political Debates

EMNLP 2023long findings

Recent advances in deep learning, and especially the invention of encoder-decoder architectures, have significantly improved the performance of abstractive summarization systems. While the majority of research has focused on written documents, we have observed an increasing interest in the summariza…

FrugalScore: Learning Cheaper, Lighter and Faster Evaluation Metrics for Automatic Text Generation

ACL 2022long

Fast and reliable evaluation metrics are key to R&D progress. While traditional natural language generation metrics are fast, they are not very reliable. Conversely, new metrics based on large pretrained language models are much more reliable, but require significant computational resources. In this…

Speaker-change Aware CRF for Dialogue Act Classification

COLING 2020main

Recent work in Dialogue Act (DA) classification approaches the task as a sequence labeling problem, using neural network models coupled with a Conditional Random Field (CRF) as the last layer. CRF models the conditional probability of the target DA label sequence given the input utterance sequence.…
