A quick guide to Amazon’s 50-plus papers at EMNLP 2024

Large language models predominate, both as a research subject themselves and as tools for researching topics of particular interest to Amazon, such as speech, recommendations, and information retrieval.

Large language models (LLMs) have come to dominate the field of natural-language processing, so it’s no surprise that they also dominate the research that Amazon scientists are presenting at this year’s Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural-Language Processing (EMNLP). LLM training is the topic with the greatest number of Amazon papers, followed closely by strategies for mitigating misinformation in LLMs’ outputs — including but not limited to hallucinations. At the same time, a number of papers apply LLMs to topics of traditional interest at Amazon, such as speech, recommender systems, and information retrieval. (Papers marked with asterisks were accepted to Findings of EMNLP.)

Explaining and improving contrastive decoding by extrapolating the probabilities of a huge and hypothetical LM.png
Given a simple question with clues, contrastive decoding could have an “obvious blindness” (e.g., assigning higher probability to an uncommon answer, such as "invertebrate", than to the most obvious answer, "bees"). In contrast, the asymptotic probability decoding proposed in "Explaining and improving contrastive decoding by extrapolating the probabilities of a huge and hypothetical LM" correctly assigns the highest probability to "bees" by leveraging the probabilities from multiple LMs of different sizes.

A set of distilled vectors is then derived in the embedding space, through a process designed to encapsulate maximum informational content. Finally, the vec2text model translates these distilled vectors back into textual form.

DeCRIM.png
In the DeCRIM pipeline proposed in "LLM self-correction with DeCRIM: Decompose, critique, and refine for enhanced following of instructions with multiple constraints", an LLM first generates a response to a user request. The Decomposer then breaks down the request into granular constraints, and the Critic model gives feedback on whether the response meets those constraints. If it does, the response is output; if not, the LLM uses the feedback to refine the response.

Abstract depiction of the SYNTHESIZRR procedure
Abstract depiction of the procedure proposed in "SYNTHESIZRR: Generating diverse datasets with retrieval augmentation". The content sourcing stage retrieves K unique documents {r1,...,rK} from a large corpus for each in-context covariate xICL. The task-inversion stage uses a parameterized context refinement prompt, Pτ, which takes parameters Rinv (inversion instruction), rk (a retrieved document), and V(yICL) (the verbalized target label). A generalist teacher LLM autoregressively generates a synthetic covariate. Each in-context example thus produces K unique synthetic examples {x̃1,..., x̃K}, which we include in the dataset with target yICL.
