Human evaluation is often treated as the gold standard for long-form generation, but how much can we trust it if papers don’t report how it was done? We study this question in our large-scale survey “Illusions of the Gold Standard” to be presented at @aclmeeting.bsky.social ! 🧵1/n

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Taking a stand that we aren’t doing the #nlproc tag here. It’s #nlp. We used #nlproc because a decade ago the #nlp tag was full of sleazy scammers selling guides for hypnotizing women into sleeping with you. But guess what? We won. All the sleazy scammers are doing natural language processing now.

(3/n) Bingbing Wen will present “Characterizing LLM Abstention Behavior in Science QA with Context Perturbations” arxiv.org/abs/2404.12452 We assess model ability to abstain w/ insufficient or incorrect context. Counter-intuitively, adding irrelevant context can sometimes increase task performance!

The framework of our context perturbation framework for studying abstention of LLMs in science QA. An example question is given: “Do they evaluate which compression method yields the most gains?” Four context perturbations are shown: (1) the original context which is illustrated as a highlighted paragraph from the paper, (2) no context, where the context paragraph is removed, (3) random context, where a random paragraph from a different paper is sampled, and (4) noisy context, where the random paragraph is appended to the given context. An arrow connects the context perturbations to the stage “Prompting LLMs,” and the image shows possible outputs and whether they are considered correct in that setting. For example, if the answer is Yes and the model answers Yes, in the given context or noisy context settings, it is correct. However, the model should abstain from answering in the no context and random context settings.

A schematic of the APPLS testbed. Left side of diagram shows candidate summaries being extracted from plain language summarization datasets. Right side of diagram shows how these candidate summaries are used in the APPLS testbed. A list shows features of APPLS including criteria-specific design, simulate real-world situation, and controlled perturbation. Below that is a line plot showing different trends corresponding to hypothetical metrics, some of which increase or decrease relative to perturbation percentage.
