  1. Test-time Augmentation for Factual Probing

    2023

    Factual probing is a method that uses prompts to test if a language model “knows” certain world knowledge facts. A problem in factual probing is that small changes to the prompt can lead to large …

  2. Understanding Fact Recall in Language Models: Why Two-Stage Training Encourages Memorization but Mixed Training Teaches Knowledge

    2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    While fine-tuning is the standard for injecting factual knowledge into large language models (LLMs), the mechanisms enabling reliable fact recall via unseen queries remain poorly understood. Common two-stage training strategies, which sequentially train on fact …

  3. BPEmb: Tokenization-free Pre-trained Subword Embeddings in 275 Languages

    2017 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    We present BPEmb, a collection of pre-trained subword unit embeddings in 275 languages, based on Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE). In an evaluation using fine-grained entity typing as testbed, BPEmb performs competitively, and for some languages bet- …
