【讲座简介】
In-context learning (ICL) is an emerging ability of large language models that allows them to adapt to new tasks without the need for parameter updates, even tasks involving complex reasoning. However, our understanding of how it works and how it develops is still in its early stages. One key question is whether LLMs “retrieve” learned tasks from in-context examples, or if they learn directly from these examples in real-time. A better understanding of these questions will assist us in controlling these models more effectively and aligning them with the intended task.
In this talk, the speaker will share recent work along these lines, with a focus on logical reasoning. Firstly, the speaker will describe a comprehensive evaluation revealing surprises and limitations in LLM's ability to reason in-context through chain-of-thought prompting. Following this, the methods to improve the stability and calibration of ICL will be discussed.

何河 纽约大学助理教授
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Center for Data Science at New York University, and a visiting academic at AWS AI. Her current research focuses on improving robustness and truthfulness of NLP models, and building interactive systems that collaborate with humans. Before joining NYU in 2019, she obtained her PhD in 2016 from the University of Maryland, College Park, did a post-doc at Stanford, and spent one year at AWS. She is the recipient of a NeurIPS demonstration award and Larry S. Davis dissertation award. She has won research awards and grants from Google, Amazon, Cisco, Samsung, and Open Philanthropy.
