DocMath-Eval: Evaluating Math Reasoning Capabilities of LLMs in Understanding Long and Specialized Documents

ACL 2024long

Recent LLMs have demonstrated remarkable performance in solving exam-like math word problems. However, the degree to which these numerical reasoning skills are effective in real-world scenarios, particularly in expert domains, is still largely unexplored. This paper introduces DocMath-Eval, a compre…

FOLIO: Natural Language Reasoning with First-Order Logic

EMNLP 2024main

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on a variety of natural language understanding tasks. However, existing benchmarks are inadequate in measuring the complex logical reasoning capabilities of a model. We present FOLIO, a human-annotated, logically complex and diverse d…

OMG-QA: Building Open-Domain Multi-Modal Generative Question Answering Systems

EMNLP 2024industry

We introduce OMG-QA, a new resource for question answering that is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of question answering systems that perform retrieval augmented generation (RAG) in scenarios that demand reasoning on multi-modal, multi-document contexts. These systems, given a user query, mus…

On Evaluating the Integration of Reasoning and Action in LLM Agents with Database Question Answering

NAACL 2024findings

This study introduces a new long-form database question answering dataset designed to evaluate how Large Language Models (LLMs) interact with a SQL interpreter. The task necessitates LLMs to strategically generate multiple SQL queries to retrieve sufficient data from a database, to reason with the a…

Enhancing Text-to-SQL Capabilities of Large Language Models: A Study on Prompt Design Strategies

EMNLP 2023long findings

In-context learning (ICL) has emerged as a new approach to various natural language processing tasks, utilizing large language models (LLMs) to make predictions based on context that has been supplemented with a few examples or task-specific instructions. In this paper, we aim to extend this method…

QTSumm: Query-Focused Summarization over Tabular Data

EMNLP 2023long main

People primarily consult tables to conduct data analysis or answer specific questions. Text generation systems that can provide accurate table summaries tailored to users' information needs can facilitate more efficient access to relevant data insights. Motivated by this, we define a new query-focu…

Revisiting the Gold Standard: Grounding Summarization Evaluation with Robust Human Evaluation

ACL 2023long

Human evaluation is the foundation upon which the evaluation of both summarization systems and automatic metrics rests. However, existing human evaluation studies for summarization either exhibit a low inter-annotator agreement or have insufficient scale, and an in-depth analysis of human evaluation…

RobuT: A Systematic Study of Table QA Robustness Against Human-Annotated Adversarial Perturbations

ACL 2023long

Despite significant progress having been made in question answering on tabular data (Table QA), it’s unclear whether, and to what extent existing Table QA models are robust to task-specific perturbations, e.g., replacing key question entities or shuffling table columns. To systematically study the r…

Leveraging Locality in Abstractive Text Summarization

EMNLP 2022main

Neural attention models have achieved significant improvements on many natural language processing tasks. However, the quadratic memory complexity of the self-attention module with respect to the input length hinders their applications in long text summarization. Instead of designing more efficient…

R2D2: Robust Data-to-Text with Replacement Detection

EMNLP 2022main

Unfaithful text generation is a common problem for text generation systems. In the case of Data-to-Text (D2T) systems, the factuality of the generated text is particularly crucial for any real-world applications. We introduce R2D2, a training framework that addresses unfaithful Data-to-Text generati…

ReasTAP: Injecting Table Reasoning Skills During Pre-training via Synthetic Reasoning Examples

EMNLP 2022main

Reasoning over tabular data requires both table structure understanding and a broad set of table reasoning skills. Current models with table-specific architectures and pre-training methods perform well on understanding table structures, but they still struggle with tasks that require various table r…

DART: Open-Domain Structured Data Record to Text Generation

NAACL 2021long

We present DART, an open domain structured DAta Record to Text generation dataset with over 82k instances (DARTs). Data-to-text annotations can be a costly process, especially when dealing with tables which are the major source of structured data and contain nontrivial structures. To this end, we pr…
