Curriculum Coarse-to-Fine Selection for High-IPC Dataset Distillation

CVPR 2025poster

Dataset distillation (DD) excels in synthesizing a small number of images per class (IPC) but struggles to maintain its effectiveness in high-IPC settings. Recent works on dataset distillation demonstrate that combining distilled and real data can mitigate the effectiveness decay. However, our analy…

Towards Consistent Natural-Language Explanations via Explanation-Consistency Finetuning

COLING 2025main

Large language models (LLMs) often generate convincing, fluent explanations. However, different from humans, they often generate inconsistent explanations on different inputs. For example, an LLM may explain “all birds can fly” when answering the question “Can sparrows fly?” but meanwhile answer “no…

Do Models Explain Themselves? Counterfactual Simulatability of Natural Language Explanations

ICML 2024spotlight

Large language models (LLMs) are trained to imitate humans to explain human decisions. However, do LLMs explain themselves? Can they help humans build mental models of how LLMs process different inputs? To answer these questions, we propose to evaluate $\textbf{counterfactual simulatability}$ of nat…

Parallel Structures in Pre-training Data Yield In-Context Learning

ACL 2024long

Pre-trained language models (LMs) are capable of in-context learning (ICL): they can adapt to a task with only a few examples given in the prompt without any parameter update. However, it is unclear where this capability comes from as there is a stark distribution shift between pre-training text and…

Social Orientation: A New Feature for Dialogue Analysis

COLING 2024main

There are many settings where it is useful to predict and explain the success or failure of a dialogue. Circumplex theory from psychology models the social orientations (e.g., Warm-Agreeable, Arrogant-Calculating) of conversation participants and can be used to predict and explain the outcome of soc…

Meta-learning via Language Model In-context Tuning

ACL 2022long

The goal of meta-learning is to learn to adapt to a new task with only a few labeled examples. Inspired by the recent progress in large language models, we propose in-context tuning (ICT), which recasts task adaptation and prediction as a simple sequence prediction problem: to form the input sequenc…

Cross-language Sentence Selection via Data Augmentation and Rationale Training

ACL 2021long

This paper proposes an approach to cross-language sentence selection in a low-resource setting. It uses data augmentation and negative sampling techniques on noisy parallel sentence data to directly learn a cross-lingual embedding-based query relevance model. Results show that this approach performs…
