*Who: * Tanya Goyal, University of Texas at Austin
------------------------------
*Title:* Building Reliable Text Generation Capabilities for Large
Language Models
*Abstract:* Recent breakthroughs in NLP, e.g. GPT-3, have equipped AI
systems with impressive text generation capabilities that have the
potential to transform how we interact with machines. However, despite this
success, these models still suffer from critical limitations that stand in
the way of widespread adoption, such as generating factually incorrect
information. In my talk, I will describe my work that addresses these
limitations. First, I will describe my work on building evaluation tools to
detect errors in model generated text along critical dimensions like
factuality by grounding evaluation in actual error distributions. Then, I
will describe training techniques that target such limitations and produce
models that generate higher quality text. Ultimately, progress along both
these is required to deliver reliable systems that work beyond standard
benchmarks in real world systems.
*Bio:* Tanya Goyal is currently a Ph.D student at the University of Texas
at Austin, advised by Prof. Greg Durrett. She did her undergraduate at the
Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati and worked at Adobe Research
before graduate school. Her research focuses on making text generation
models more reliable, building both better training techniques to improve
quality as well as evaluation tools to better benchmark their performance.
