Like the field of conversational AI in general, Amazon’s papers at this year’s meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) are dominated by work on large language models (LLMs). The properties that make LLMs’ outputs so extraordinary — such as their linguistic fluency and semantic coherence — are also notoriously difficult to quantify; as such, model evaluation has emerged as a particular area of focus. But Amazon’s papers explore a wide range of LLM-related topics, from applications such as code synthesis and automatic speech recognition to problems of LLM training and deployment, such as continual pretraining and hallucination mitigation. Papers accepted to the recently inaugurated Proceedings of the ACL are marked with asterisks.
