我们介绍了以实体为中心的查询精炼的任务。给定一个输入查询，其答案是（潜在的）实体集合，任务输出是一小部分查询精炼，旨在帮助用户进行有效的域探索和实体发现。我们提出了一种为此任务创建培训数据集的方法。对于给定的输入查询，我们使用现有的知识基础分类法作为候选查询改进的来源，并使用旨在将回答输入查询的实体集的搜索过程中的搜索过程中的一组搜索过程中选择。我们证明我们的方法确定了人类注释者认为有趣，全面和不冗余的精炼集。此外，我们发现，在新结构的数据集中训练的文本生成模型能够为现有分类法所没有涵盖的新型查询提供改进。我们的代码和数据可在https://github.com/google-research/language/tree/master/master/language/qresp上找到。

我们介绍了Sparrow，这是一个寻求信息的对话代理，与提示的语言模型基线相比，训练有素，更有帮助，正确和无害。我们使用从人类反馈中的强化学习来培训我们的模型，以帮助人类评估者判断代理人的行为。首先，为了使我们的代理人更有帮助和无害，我们将良好对话的要求分解为代理人应遵循的自然语言规则，并分别向评估者询问每个规则。我们证明，这种崩溃使我们能够收集对代理行为的更多针对性的人类判断，并允许更有效的规则条件奖励模型。其次，我们的代理商在收集对模型声明的偏好判决时提供了支持事实主张的来源的证据。对于事实问题，麻雀提供的证据支持了78％的时间。比基线比基线更享受麻雀，同时对人类的对抗性探测更具弹性，在探测时只有8％的时间违反了我们的规则。最后，我们进行了广泛的分析，表明尽管我们的模型学会遵守我们的规则，但它可以表现出分布偏见。

随着近期自然语言生成（NLG）模型的各种应用程序的改进，它变得必须具有识别和评估NLG输出是否仅共享关于外部世界的可验证信息的手段。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个归属于识别的来源（AIS）的新评估框架，用于评估自然语言生成模型的输出，当这种输出涉及外部世界时。我们首先定义AIS，并引入两级注释管道，用于允许注释器根据AIS指南适当地评估模型输出。通过人为评估研究，我们在三个代数据集（会话QA域中的两个中和总结一下，概括地验证了这种方法，表明AIS可以作为测量模型生成的语句是否支持基础来源的常见框架。我们释放人类评估研究指南。

Existing question answering (QA) datasets fail to train QA systems to perform complex reasoning and provide explanations for answers. We introduce HOTPOTQA, a new dataset with 113k Wikipedia-based question-answer pairs with four key features: (1) the questions require finding and reasoning over multiple supporting documents to answer; (2) the questions are diverse and not constrained to any pre-existing knowledge bases or knowledge schemas; (3) we provide sentence-level supporting facts required for reasoning, allowing QA systems to reason with strong supervision and explain the predictions; (4) we offer a new type of factoid comparison questions to test QA systems' ability to extract relevant facts and perform necessary comparison. We show that HOTPOTQA is challenging for the latest QA systems, and the supporting facts enable models to improve performance and make explainable predictions.

NLP研究人员需要更多，更高质量的文本数据集。收集人类标记的数据集是昂贵的，而通过从诸如维基的网络的自动检索收集的数据集是嘈杂的，并且可以包括不希望的偏差。此外，来自网络的数据通常包括在用于预先rain模型的数据集中，导致无意地交叉污染训练和测试集。在这项工作中，我们介绍了一种用于高效数据集策策的新方法：我们使用大型语言模型来为人类评估者提供种子几代，从而将数据集从写入任务转换为编辑任务。我们使用我们的方法来策划SynthBio - Wikibio的一个新的评估集 - 由描述虚构个人的结构化属性列表组成，映射到自然语言传记。我们表明，我们的虚构传记数据集比Wikibiiiiiiiiii远低，也更加均衡，而且对性别和国籍更加平衡。

Entities, as important carriers of real-world knowledge, play a key role in many NLP tasks. We focus on incorporating entity knowledge into an encoder-decoder framework for informative text generation. Existing approaches tried to index, retrieve, and read external documents as evidence, but they suffered from a large computational overhead. In this work, we propose an encoder-decoder framework with an entity memory, namely EDMem. The entity knowledge is stored in the memory as latent representations, and the memory is pre-trained on Wikipedia along with encoder-decoder parameters. To precisely generate entity names, we design three decoding methods to constrain entity generation by linking entities in the memory. EDMem is a unified framework that can be used on various entity-intensive question answering and generation tasks. Extensive experimental results show that EDMem outperforms both memory-based auto-encoder models and non-memory encoder-decoder models.

Natural Language Generation (NLG) has improved exponentially in recent years thanks to the development of sequence-to-sequence deep learning technologies such as Transformer-based language models. This advancement has led to more fluent and coherent NLG, leading to improved development in downstream tasks such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and data-to-text generation. However, it is also apparent that deep learning based generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades the system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, many studies have been presented in measuring and mitigating hallucinated texts, but these have never been reviewed in a comprehensive manner before. In this survey, we thus provide a broad overview of the research progress and challenges in the hallucination problem in NLG. The survey is organized into two parts: (1) a general overview of metrics, mitigation methods, and future directions; and (2) an overview of task-specific research progress on hallucinations in the following downstream tasks, namely abstractive summarization, dialogue generation, generative question answering, data-to-text generation, machine translation, and visual-language generation. This survey serves to facilitate collaborative efforts among researchers in tackling the challenge of hallucinated texts in NLG.

例如，查询是一个众所周知的信息检索任务，其中由用户选择文档作为搜索查询，目标是从大集合中检索相关文档。但是，文档通常涵盖主题的多个方面。要解决此方案，我们将通过示例介绍面位查询的任务，其中用户还可以指定除输入查询文档之外的更精细的粗体方面。我们专注于在科学文献搜索中的应用。我们设想能够沿着专门选择的修辞结构元素作为对此问题的一种解决方案来检索类似于查询科学纸的科学论文。在这项工作中，我们称之为方面的修辞结构元素，表明了科学论文的目标，方法或结果。我们介绍并描述了一个专家注释的测试集合，以评估培训的型号以执行此任务。我们的测试收集包括一个不同的50套英文查询文件，从计算语言学和机器学习场所绘制。我们仔细遵循TREC用于深度-K池（k = 100或250）使用的注释指南，结果数据收集包括具有高注释协议的分级相关性分数。在我们的数据集中评估的最先进模型显示出进一步的工作中的显着差距。可以在此处访问我们的数据集：https://github.com/iesl/csfcube

我们微调GPT-3使用基于文本的Web浏览环境来回答长形问题，允许模型搜索和导航Web。通过建立任务，以便通过人类执行，我们能够使用模仿学习培训在任务上的模型，然后通过人体反馈优化答案质量。为了使人为评估事实精度更容易，模型必须在浏览支持答案时收集引用。我们在ELI5上培训并评估我们的模型，Reddit用户提出的问题数据集。我们的最佳模型是通过使用行为克隆进行微调GPT-3获得的，然后对训练训练的奖励模型进行拒绝采样来获得以预测人类偏好。这种模式的答案是人类56％的答案，我们的人类示威者的时间和69％的时间到Reddit的最高投票答复。

Training dialogue systems often entails dealing with noisy training examples and unexpected user inputs. Despite their prevalence, there currently lacks an accurate survey of dialogue noise, nor is there a clear sense of the impact of each noise type on task performance. This paper addresses this gap by first constructing a taxonomy of noise encountered by dialogue systems. In addition, we run a series of experiments to show how different models behave when subjected to varying levels of noise and types of noise. Our results reveal that models are quite robust to label errors commonly tackled by existing denoising algorithms, but that performance suffers from dialogue-specific noise. Driven by these observations, we design a data cleaning algorithm specialized for conversational settings and apply it as a proof-of-concept for targeted dialogue denoising.

在寻求信息的对话中，用户与代理商进行对话，以提出一系列通常可以不足或过度指定的问题。理想的代理商首先将通过搜索其基本知识来源，然后与用户进行适当互动以解决它，从而确定他们处于这种情况。但是，大多数现有研究都无法或人为地纳入此类代理端计划。在这项工作中，我们介绍了Inscit（发音为Insight），这是一种用于与混合互动相互作用的信息寻求对话的数据集。它包含从805个人类对话中进行的4.7k用户代理转弯，代理商对Wikipedia进行搜索，并要求澄清或提供相关信息以解决用户查询。我们定义了两个子任务，即证据通过识别和响应产生，以及一种新的人类评估协议来评估模型绩效。我们根据对话知识识别和开放域问题的最新模型报告了两个强大的基线的结果。这两种模型都显着不足，并且没有产生连贯和信息丰富的反应，这表明未来的研究有足够的改进空间。

We present TriviaQA, a challenging reading comprehension dataset containing over 650K question-answer-evidence triples. TriviaQA includes 95K questionanswer pairs authored by trivia enthusiasts and independently gathered evidence documents, six per question on average, that provide high quality distant supervision for answering the questions. We show that, in comparison to other recently introduced large-scale datasets, TriviaQA (1) has relatively complex, compositional questions, (2) has considerable syntactic and lexical variability between questions and corresponding answer-evidence sentences, and (3) requires more cross sentence reasoning to find answers. We also present two baseline algorithms: a featurebased classifier and a state-of-the-art neural network, that performs well on SQuAD reading comprehension. Neither approach comes close to human performance (23% and 40% vs. 80%), suggesting that Trivi-aQA is a challenging testbed that is worth significant future study. 1

为了实现长文档理解的构建和测试模型，我们引入质量，具有中文段的多项选择QA DataSet，具有约5,000个令牌的平均长度，比典型的当前模型更长。与经过段落的事先工作不同，我们的问题是由阅读整个段落的贡献者编写和验证的，而不是依赖摘要或摘录。此外，只有一半的问题是通过在紧缩时间限制下工作的注释器来应答，表明略读和简单的搜索不足以一直表现良好。目前的模型在此任务上表现不佳（55.4％），并且落后于人类性能（93.5％）。

Knowledge-grounded dialogue systems powered by large language models often generate responses that, while fluent, are not attributable to a relevant source of information. Progress towards models that do not exhibit this issue requires evaluation metrics that can quantify its prevalence. To this end, we introduce the Benchmark for Evaluation of Grounded INteraction (BEGIN), comprised of 12k dialogue turns generated by neural dialogue systems trained on three knowledgegrounded dialogue corpora. We collect human annotations assessing the extent to which the models' responses can be attributed to the given background information. We then use BEGIN to analyze eight evaluation metrics. We find that these metrics rely on spurious correlations, do not reliably distinguish attributable abstractive responses from unattributable ones, and perform substantially worse when the knowledge source is longer. Our findings underscore the need for more sophisticated and robust evaluation metrics for knowledge-grounded dialogue. We make BEGIN publicly available at https://github.com/ google/BEGIN-dataset.

本文介绍了学习迭代查询细化的元策略的设计代理的首先成功步骤。我们的方法使用机器读取来指导从聚合搜索结果中选择细化项。然后，使用简单但有效的搜索操作员能够赋予代理，以对查询和搜索结果发挥细粒度和透明控制。我们开发一种新颖的方式来发电综合搜索会话，它通过（自我）监督学习来利用基于变压器的语言模型的力量。我们还提出了一种强化学习代理，具有动态约束的动作，从划痕中了解互动搜索策略。我们使用传统的基于术语的BM25排名函数获得与最近神经方法相当的检索和回答质量性能。我们对搜索政策进行了深入的分析。

这项工作提出了一个新的对话数据集，即cookdial，该数据集促进了对任务知识了解的面向任务的对话系统的研究。该语料库包含260个以人类对任务为导向的对话框，其中代理给出了配方文档，指导用户烹饪菜肴。 Cookdial中的对话框展示了两个独特的功能：（i）对话流与支持文档之间的程序对齐； （ii）复杂的代理决策涉及分割长句子，解释硬说明并在对话框上下文中解决核心。此外，我们在假定的面向任务的对话框系统中确定了三个具有挑战性的（子）任务：（1）用户问题理解，（2）代理操作框架预测和（3）代理响应生成。对于这些任务中的每一个，我们都会开发一个神经基线模型，我们在cookdial数据集上进行了评估。我们公开发布烹饪数据集，包括对话框和食谱文档的丰富注释，以刺激对特定于域的文档接地对话框系统的进一步研究。

Visual understanding goes well beyond object recognition. With one glance at an image, we can effortlessly imagine the world beyond the pixels: for instance, we can infer people's actions, goals, and mental states. While this task is easy for humans, it is tremendously difficult for today's vision systems, requiring higher-order cognition and commonsense reasoning about the world. We formalize this task as Visual Commonsense Reasoning. Given a challenging question about an image, a machine must answer correctly and then provide a rationale justifying its answer.Next, we introduce a new dataset, VCR, consisting of 290k multiple choice QA problems derived from 110k movie scenes. The key recipe for generating non-trivial and highquality problems at scale is Adversarial Matching, a new approach to transform rich annotations into multiple choice questions with minimal bias. Experimental results show that while humans find VCR easy (over 90% accuracy), state-of-the-art vision models struggle (∼45%).To move towards cognition-level understanding, we present a new reasoning engine, Recognition to Cognition Networks (R2C), that models the necessary layered inferences for grounding, contextualization, and reasoning. R2C helps narrow the gap between humans and machines (∼65%); still, the challenge is far from solved, and we provide analysis that suggests avenues for future work.

在该职位论文中，我们提出了一种新方法，以基于问题的产生和实体链接来生成文本的知识库（KB）。我们认为，所提出的KB类型具有传统符号KB的许多关键优势：尤其是由小型模块化组件组成，可以在组合上合并以回答复杂的查询，包括涉及“多跳跃”的关系查询和查询。“推论。但是，与传统的KB不同，该信息商店与常见的用户信息需求相符。

Large pre-trained language models have recently enabled open-ended generation frameworks (e.g., prompt-to-text NLG) to tackle a variety of tasks going beyond the traditional data-to-text generation. While this framework is more general, it is under-specified and often leads to a lack of controllability restricting their real-world usage. We propose a new grounded keys-to-text generation task: the task is to generate a factual description about an entity given a set of guiding keys, and grounding passages. To address this task, we introduce a new dataset, called EntDeGen. Inspired by recent QA-based evaluation measures, we propose an automatic metric, MAFE, for factual correctness of generated descriptions. Our EntDescriptor model is equipped with strong rankers to fetch helpful passages and generate entity descriptions. Experimental result shows a good correlation (60.14) between our proposed metric and human judgments of factuality. Our rankers significantly improved the factual correctness of generated descriptions (15.95% and 34.51% relative gains in recall and precision). Finally, our ablation study highlights the benefit of combining keys and groundings.

As language models (LMs) scale, they develop many novel behaviors, good and bad, exacerbating the need to evaluate how they behave. Prior work creates evaluations with crowdwork (which is time-consuming and expensive) or existing data sources (which are not always available). Here, we automatically generate evaluations with LMs. We explore approaches with varying amounts of human effort, from instructing LMs to write yes/no questions to making complex Winogender schemas with multiple stages of LM-based generation and filtering. Crowdworkers rate the examples as highly relevant and agree with 90-100% of labels, sometimes more so than corresponding human-written datasets. We generate 154 datasets and discover new cases of inverse scaling where LMs get worse with size. Larger LMs repeat back a dialog user's preferred answer ("sycophancy") and express greater desire to pursue concerning goals like resource acquisition and goal preservation. We also find some of the first examples of inverse scaling in RL from Human Feedback (RLHF), where more RLHF makes LMs worse. For example, RLHF makes LMs express stronger political views (on gun rights and immigration) and a greater desire to avoid shut down. Overall, LM-written evaluations are high-quality and let us quickly discover many novel LM behaviors.
