Finding Replicable Human Evaluations via Stable Ranking Probability

NAACL 2024long

Reliable human evaluation is critical to the development of successful natural language generation models, but achieving it is notoriously difficult. Stability is a crucial requirement when ranking systems by quality: consistent ranking of systems across repeated evaluations is not just desirable, b…

Prompting PaLM for Translation: Assessing Strategies and Performance

ACL 2023long

Large language models (LLMs) that have been trained on multilingual but not parallel text exhibit a remarkable ability to translate between languages. We probe this ability in an in-depth study of the pathways language model (PaLM), which has demonstrated the strongest machine translation (MT) perfo…

DOCmT5: Document-Level Pretraining of Multilingual Language Models

NAACL 2022findings

In this paper, we introduce DOCmT5, a multilingual sequence-to-sequence language model pretrained with large-scale parallel documents. While previous approaches have focused on leveraging sentence-level parallel data, we try to build a general-purpose pretrained model that can understand and generat…
