Measuring and Improving Attentiveness to Partial Inputs with Counterfactuals

no code implementations16 Nov 2023 Yanai Elazar, Bhargavi Paranjape, Hao Peng, Sarah Wiegreffe, Khyathi Raghavi, Vivek Srikumar, Sameer Singh, Noah A. Smith

Previous work has found that datasets with paired inputs are prone to correlations between a specific part of the input (e. g., the hypothesis in NLI) and the label; consequently, models trained only on those outperform chance.

Estimating the Causal Effect of Early ArXiving on Paper Acceptance

2 code implementations24 Jun 2023 Yanai Elazar, Jiayao Zhang, David Wadden, Bo Zhang, Noah A. Smith

However, since quality is a challenging construct to estimate, we use the negative outcome control method, using paper citation count as a control variable to debias the quality confounding effect.

Few-shot Fine-tuning vs. In-context Learning: A Fair Comparison and Evaluation

1 code implementation26 May 2023 Marius Mosbach, Tiago Pimentel, Shauli Ravfogel, Dietrich Klakow, Yanai Elazar

In this paper, we compare the generalization of few-shot fine-tuning and in-context learning to challenge datasets, while controlling for the models used, the number of examples, and the number of parameters, ranging from 125M to 30B.

At Your Fingertips: Extracting Piano Fingering Instructions from Videos

no code implementations7 Mar 2023 Amit Moryossef, Yanai Elazar, Yoav Goldberg

Piano fingering -- knowing which finger to use to play each note in a musical piece, is a hard and important skill to master when learning to play the piano.

Lexical Generalization Improves with Larger Models and Longer Training

1 code implementation23 Oct 2022 Elron Bandel, Yoav Goldberg, Yanai Elazar

While fine-tuned language models perform well on many tasks, they were also shown to rely on superficial surface features such as lexical overlap.

Contrastive Explanations for Model Interpretability

1 code implementation EMNLP 2021 Alon Jacovi, Swabha Swayamdipta, Shauli Ravfogel, Yanai Elazar, Yejin Choi, Yoav Goldberg

Our method is based on projecting model representation to a latent space that captures only the features that are useful (to the model) to differentiate two potential decisions.

Measuring and Improving Consistency in Pretrained Language Models

1 code implementation1 Feb 2021 Yanai Elazar, Nora Kassner, Shauli Ravfogel, Abhilasha Ravichander, Eduard Hovy, Hinrich Schütze, Yoav Goldberg

In this paper we study the question: Are Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) consistent with respect to factual knowledge?

First Align, then Predict: Understanding the Cross-Lingual Ability of Multilingual BERT

1 code implementation EACL 2021 Benjamin Muller, Yanai Elazar, Benoît Sagot, Djamé Seddah

Such transfer emerges by fine-tuning on a task of interest in one language and evaluating on a distinct language, not seen during the fine-tuning.

Evaluating NLP Models via Contrast Sets

no code implementations1 Oct 2020 Matt Gardner, Yoav Artzi, Victoria Basmova, Jonathan Berant, Ben Bogin, Sihao Chen, Pradeep Dasigi, Dheeru Dua, Yanai Elazar, Ananth Gottumukkala, Nitish Gupta, Hanna Hajishirzi, Gabriel Ilharco, Daniel Khashabi, Kevin Lin, Jiangming Liu, Nelson F. Liu, Phoebe Mulcaire, Qiang Ning, Sameer Singh, Noah A. Smith, Sanjay Subramanian, Reut Tsarfaty, Eric Wallace, A. Zhang, Ben Zhou

Unfortunately, when a dataset has systematic gaps (e. g., annotation artifacts), these evaluations are misleading: a model can learn simple decision rules that perform well on the test set but do not capture a dataset's intended capabilities.
