DESIGN Irreversibly unlinked and anonymised large scale survey of archived appendix samples. SETTING Archived appendix samples from the pathology departments of 41 UK hospitals participating in the earlier survey, and additional hospitals in regions with lower levels of participation in that survey. SAMPLE 32,441 archived appendix samples fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin and tested for the presence of abnormal prion protein (PrP). RESULTS Of the 32,441 appendix samples 16 were positive for abnormal PrP, indicating an overall prevalence of 493 per million population (95% confidence interval 282 to 801 per million). The prevalence in those born in 1941-60 (733 per million, 269 to 1596 per million) did not differ significantly from those born between 1961 and 1985 (412 per million, 198 to 758 per million) and was similar in both sexes and across the three broad geographical areas sampled. Genetic testing of the positive specimens for the genotype at PRNP codon 129 revealed a high proportion that were valine homozygous compared with the frequency in the normal population, and in stark contrast with confirmed clinical cases of vCJD, all of which were methionine homozygous at PRNP codon 129. CONCLUSIONS This study corroborates previous studies and suggests a high prevalence of infection with abnormal PrP, indicating vCJD carrier status in the population compared with the 177 vCJD cases to date. These findings have important implications for the management of blood and blood products and for the handling of surgical instruments.\nClaim: 1 in 5 million in UK have abnormal PrP positivity. \n[Response_Start]false[Response_End]\nNow please verify the following claim.\n",

[0] Title: MLQA: Evaluating Cross-lingual Extractive Question Answering Text: Question answering (QA) models have shown rapid progress enabled by the availability of large, high-quality benchmark datasets. Such annotated datasets are difficult and costly to collect, and rarely exist in languages other than English, making building QA systems that work well in other languages challenging. In order to develop such systems, it is crucial to invest in high quality multilingual evaluation benchmarks to measure progress. We present MLQA, a multi-way aligned extractive QA evaluation benchmark intended to spur research in this area. MLQA contains QA instances in 7 languages, English, Arabic, German, Spanish, Hindi, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese. MLQA has over 12K instances in English and 5K in each other language, with each instance parallel between 4 languages on average. We evaluate state-of-the-art cross-lingual models and machine-translation-based baselines on MLQA. In all cases, transfer results are shown to be significantly behind training-language performance.
[1] Title: XOR QA: Cross-lingual Open-Retrieval Question Answering Text: Multilingual question answering tasks typically assume that answers exist in the same language as the question. Yet in practice, many languages face both information scarcity—where languages have few reference articles—and information asymmetry—where questions reference concepts from other cultures. This work extends open-retrieval question answering to a cross-lingual setting enabling questions from one language to be answered via answer content from another language. We construct a large-scale dataset built on 40K information-seeking questions across 7 diverse non-English languages that TyDi QA could not find same-language answers for. Based on this dataset, we introduce a task framework, called Cross-lingual Open-Retrieval Question Answering (XOR QA), that consists of three new tasks involving cross-lingual document retrieval from multilingual and English resources. We establish baselines with state-of-the-art machine translation systems and cross-lingual pretrained models. Experimental results suggest that XOR QA is a challenging task that will facilitate the development of novel techniques for multilingual question answering.
[2] Title: Unsupervised Cross-lingual Representation Learning at Scale Text: This paper shows that pretraining multilingual language models at scale leads to significant performance gains for a wide range of cross-lingual transfer tasks. We train a Transformer-based masked language model on one hundred languages, using more than two terabytes of filtered CommonCrawl data. Our model, dubbed XLM-R, significantly outperforms multilingual BERT (mBERT) on a variety of cross-lingual benchmarks, including +14.6% average accuracy on XNLI, +13% average F1 score on MLQA, and +2.4% F1 score on NER. XLM-R performs particularly well on low-resource languages, improving 15.7% in XNLI accuracy for Swahili and 11.4% for Urdu over previous XLM models. We also present a detailed empirical analysis of the key factors that are required to achieve these gains, including the trade-offs between (1) positive transfer and capacity dilution and (2) the performance of high and low resource languages at scale. Finally, we show, for the first time, the possibility of multilingual modeling without sacrificing per-language performance; XLM-R is very competitive with strong monolingual models on the GLUE and XNLI benchmarks. We will make our code, data and models publicly available.
Claim: The XOR QA dataset covers eight languages.

[0] The gap between evidence-based treatments and routine care has been well established. Findings from the Sequenced Treatments Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) emphasized the importance of measurement-based care for the treatment of depression as a key ingredient for achieving response and remission; yet measurement-based care approaches are not commonly used in clinical practice. The Nine-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for monitoring depression severity was introduced in 19 diverse psychiatric practices. During the one-year course of the project the helpfulness and feasibility of implementation of PHQ-9 in these psychiatric practices were studied. The project was modeled after the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Breakthrough Series. Two of the 19 practices dropped out during the course of the project. By the conclusion of the study, all remaining 17 practices had adopted PHQ-9 as a routine part of depression care in their practice. On the basis of responses from 17 psychiatrists from those practices, PHQ-9 scores influenced clinical decision making for 93% of 6,096 patient contacts. With the additional information gained from the PHQ-9 score, one or more treatment changes occurred during 40% of these clinical contacts. Changing the dosage of antidepressant medication and adding another medication were the most common treatment changes recorded by psychiatrists, followed by starting or increasing psychotherapy and by switching or initiating antidepressants. In 3% of the patient contacts, using the PHQ-9 led to additional suicide risk assessment.
[1] To compare maternal and neonatal outcomes among grandmultiparous women to those of multiparous women 30 years or older. A database of the vast majority of maternal and newborn hospital discharge records linked to birth/death certificates was queried to obtain information on all multiparous women with a singleton delivery in the state of California from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1998. Maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes of grandmultiparous women were compared to multiparous women who were 30 years or older at the time of their last birth. The study population included 25,512 grandmultiparous and 265,060 multiparous women 30 years or older as controls. Grandmultiparous women were predominantly Hispanic (56%). After controlling for potential confounding factors, grandmultiparous women were at significantly higher risk for abruptio placentae (odds ratio OR: 1.3; 95% confidence intervals CI: 1.2-1.5), preterm delivery (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.2-1.4), fetal macrosomia (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.4-1.6), neonatal death (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.3-1.8), postpartum hemorrhage (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.1-1.3) and blood transfusion (OR: 1.5; 95% CI: 1.3-1.8).', 'long_answer': 'Grandmultiparous women had increased maternal and neonatal morbidity, and neonatal mortality even after controlling for confounders, suggesting a need for closer observation than regular multiparous patients during labor and delivery.

[1] Title: Reliable, Adaptable, and Attributable Language Models with Retrieval Text: Unlike parametric LMs—which use large-scale text data only during training—retrieval-augmented LMs leverage an external large-scale collection of documents (datastore) at inference by selecting relevant documents from the datastore (Asai et al., 2023a). Retrieval-augmented LMs can W1: largely reduce factual errors (Mallen et al., 2023), W2: provide better attributions (Gao et al., 2023a), W3: enabling flexible opt-in and out of sequences (Min et al., 2024).
[2] Title: Atlas: Few-shot Learning with Retrieval Augmented Language Models Text: In this work we present Atlas, a carefully designed and pre-trained retrieval augmented language model able to learn knowledge intensive tasks with very few training examples. We perform evaluations on a wide range of tasks, including MMLU, KILT and NaturalQuestions, and study the impact of the content of the document index, showing that it can easily be updated. Notably, Atlas reaches over 42% accuracy on Natural Questions using only 64 examples, outperforming a 540B parameters model by 3% despite having 50x fewer parameters.
[3] Title: Language Models are Few-Shot Learners Text: Similarly, GPT-3 achieves 64.3% accuracy on TriviaQA in the zero-shot setting, 68.0% in the one-shot setting, and 71.2% in the few-shot setting, the last of which is state-of-the-art relative to fine-tuned models operating in the same closed-book setting.
[4] Title: When Not to Trust Language Models: Investigating Effectiveness of Parametric and Non-Parametric Memories Text: On both datasets, LMs’ memorization (RQ1) is often limited to the popular factual knowledge and even GPT-3 davinci-003 fails to answer the majority of the long-tail questions. Moreover, on such questions, scaling up models does not significantly improve the performance. This also suggests that we can predict if LMs memorize certain knowledge based on the information presented in the input question only. We next investigate whether a semi-parametric approach that augments LMs with retrieved evidence can mitigate the low performance on questions about less popular entities (RQ2). Nonparametric memories largely improve performance on long-tail distributions across models.
[5] Title: Democratizing Large Language Models via Personalized Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning Text: Personalization in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly important, aiming to align LLM’s interactions, content, and recommendations with individual user preferences. Recent advances in LLM personalization have spotlighted effective prompt design, by enriching user queries with non-parametric knowledge through behavior history retrieval and textual profiles. However, these approaches were limited due to a lack of model ownership, resulting in constrained customization and privacy issues. Moreover, they often failed to accurately capture user behavior patterns, especially in cases where user data were complex and dynamic. To address these shortcomings, we introduce One PEFT Per User (OPPU), which employs personalized parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) modules, to store user-specific behavior patterns and preferences.
[6] Title: RECOMP: Improving Retrieval-Augmented LMs with Context Compression and Selective Augmentation Text: Retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) (Khandelwal et al., 2019; Izacard et al., 2022; Lewis et al., 2020; Borgeaud et al., 2022) have shown impressive performance on knowledge-intensive tasks (Kwiatkowski et al., 2019; Petroni et al., 2021). Simply prepending retrieved documents to the input without updating the language models (LMs) (Shi et al., 2023b; Ram et al., 2023; Si et al., 2022) allows retrieval augmentation even for black-box LMs, but such approach comes with limitations. First, it increases computational costs as LMs now encode substantially more tokens. Second, even if we manage to adapt LMs to efficiently incorporate longer context (Beltagy et al., 2020; Zaheer et al., 2020), these models struggle to use all information in the context, frequently missing information placed in the middle (Liu et al., 2023). Third, prepending a large number of documents in-context can further confuse LMs with irrelevant information, degrading model performances (Mallen et al., 2022; Shi et al., 2023a).

Language models leverage both parametric and non-parametric knowledge to perform various tasks.\n
Parametric knowledge refers to the information stored in the model's parameters, which are learned during training [0]. This type of knowledge allows language models to perform tasks such as closed-book question answering, where the model produces answers based on its internal knowledge without accessing any external corpus [0]. However, language models' memorization of parametric knowledge is often limited to popular factual knowledge, and even large models like GPT-3 may fail to answer the majority of long-tail questions [4].\n
On the other hand, non-parametric knowledge is retrieved from an external source, such as a large-scale collection of documents, during inference [1]. This type of knowledge is used in retrieval-augmented language models, which can reduce factual errors, provide better attributions, and enable flexible opt-in and out of sequences [1]. Retrieval-augmented language models have been shown to be effective in few-shot learning scenarios, where they can learn knowledge-intensive tasks with very few training examples [2]. For example, the Atlas model, a retrieval-augmented language model, can reach over 42% accuracy on Natural Questions using only 64 examples, outperforming a 540B parameters model by 3% despite having 50x fewer parameters [2]. Moreover, even without training, simply combining off-the-shelf LMs such as GPT3 with retrieval augmentation can significantly improve performance in long-tail and have been shown to mitigate the low performance on questions about less popular entities[4]. However, retrieval-augmented LMs have several limitations. Specifically, retrieval-augmented LMs can make inference much more inefficient due to increased context length [6].\n

[0] Title: Empirical Analysis of the Strengths and Weaknesses of PEFT Techniques for LLMs Text: As foundation models continue to exponentially scale in size, efficient methods of adaptation become increasingly critical. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), a recent class of techniques that require only modifying a small percentage of the model parameters, is currently the most popular method for adapting large language models (LLMs). Several PEFT techniques have recently been proposed with varying tradeoffs. We provide a comprehensive and uniform benchmark of various PEFT techniques across a representative LLM, the FLAN-T5 model, and evaluate model performance across different data scales of classification and generation datasets. Based on this, we provide a framework for choosing the optimal fine-tuning techniques given the task type and data availability. Contrary to popular belief, we also empirically prove that PEFT techniques converge slower than full tuning in low data scenarios, and posit the amount of data required for PEFT methods to both perform well and converge efficiently.\n
[1] Title: Prefix-Tuning: Optimizing Continuous Prompts for Generation Text: In this paper, we propose prefix-tuning, a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning for natural language generation tasks, which keeps language model parameters frozen, but optimizes a small continuous task-specific vector (called the prefix). Prefix-tuning draws inspiration from prompting, allowing subsequent tokens to attend to this prefix as if it were "virtual tokens". We apply prefix-tuning to GPT-2 for table-to-text generation and to BART for summarization. We find that by learning only 0.1\% of the parameters, prefix-tuning obtains comparable performance in the full data setting, outperforms fine-tuning in low-data settings, and extrapolates better to examples with topics unseen during training.\n
[2] Title: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning for Pre-Trained Vision Models: A Survey Text: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic study of PEFT methods in the vision domain, particularly focusing on transformer-based pre-trained models ranging from the year 2019 to the year 2023. As shown in Fig. 1, existing visual PEFT methods could be categorized into addition-based tuning, partial-based tuning, and unified-based tuning. In section 2, we will define the problem of PEFT, introduce popular backbones, and discuss pre-training methods. In section 3, a detailed taxonomy and in-depth analysis of the PEFT methods will be presented. The real-world applications of PEFT will be introduced in section 4. Finally, in section 5, we will point out future research challenges.\n
[3] Title: Towards a Unified View of Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning Text: To mitigate this issue, a few lightweight alternatives have been proposed to update only a small number of extra parameters while keeping most pretrained parameters frozen. For example, adapter tuning (Houlsby et al., 2019) inserts small neural modules called adapters to each layer of the pretrained network and only the adapters are trained at fine-tuning time. Inspired by the success of prompting methods that control PLMs through textual prompts (Brown et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021a), prefix tuning (Li & Liang, 2021) and prompt tuning (Lester et al., 2021) prepend an additional l tunable prefix tokens to the input or hidden layers and only train these soft prompts when fine-tuning on downstream tasks.\n
[4] Title: I-Tuning: Tuning Frozen Language Models with Image for Lightweight Image Captioning Text: We design an I-Tuning module to connect the pre-trained vision encoder (i.e., CLIP-ViT [7]) and the language decoder (i.e., GPT2 [8]). To align between the language and vision modals, it serves as a cross-modal filter that automatically picks the visual information from the output of the vision encoder and adjusts the output hidden states of the language decoder. During training, we only update the newly introduced parameters in the I-Tuning module, and the parameters of the two pre-trained models are frozen.\n

[0] Title: CoQA: A Conversational Question Answering Challenge Text: Humans gather information by engaging in conversations involving a series of interconnected questions and answers. For machines to assist in information gathering, it is therefore essential to enable them to answer conversational questions. We introduce CoQA, a novel dataset for building Conversational Question Answering systems. Our dataset contains 127k questions with answers, obtained from 8k conversations about text passages from seven diverse domains. The questions are conversational, and the answers are free-form text with their corresponding evidence highlighted in the passage. We analyze CoQA in depth and show that conversational questions have challenging phenomena not present in existing reading comprehension datasets, e.g., coreference and pragmatic reasoning. We evaluate strong conversational and reading comprehension models on CoQA. The best system obtains an F1 score of 65.4\%, which is 23.4 points behind human performance (88.8\%), indicating there is ample room for improvement. \n
[1] Title: SQuAD: 100,000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text Text: We present the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD), a new reading comprehension dataset consisting of 100,000+ questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to each question is a segment of text from the corresponding reading passage. We analyze the dataset to understand the types of reasoning required to answer the questions, leaning heavily on dependency and constituency trees. We build a strong logistic regression model, which achieves an F1 score of 51.0\%, a significant improvement over a simple baseline (20\%). However, human performance (86.8\%) is much higher, indicating that the dataset presents a good challenge problem for future research.\n
[2] Title: Interpretation of natural language rules in conversational machine reading Text: Most work in machine reading focuses on question answering problems where the answer is directly expressed in the text to read. However, many real-world question answering problems require the reading of text not because it contains the literal answer, but because it contains a recipe to derive an answer together with the reader's background knowledge. One example is the task of interpreting regulations to answer "Can I...?" or "Do I have to...?" questions such as "I am working in Canada. Do I have to carry on paying UK National Insurance?" after reading a UK government website about this topic. This task requires both the interpretation of rules and the application of background knowledge. It is further complicated due to the fact that, in practice, most questions are underspecified, and a human assistant will regularly have to ask clarification questions such as How long have you been working abroad? when the answer cannot be directly derived from the question and text. In this paper, we formalise this task and develop a crowd-sourcing strategy to collect 32k task instances based on real-world rules and crowd-generated questions and scenarios. We analyse the challenges of this task and assess its difficulty by evaluating the performance of rule-based and machine-learning baselines. We observe promising results when no background knowledge is necessary, and substantial room for improvement whenever background knowledge is needed.\n
[3] Title: Passage Re-ranking with BERT Text: Recently, neural models pretrained on a language modeling task, such as ELMo (Peters et al., 2017), OpenAI GPT (Radford et al., 2018), and BERT (Devlin et al., 2018), have achieved impressive results on various natural language processing tasks such as question-answering and natural language inference. In this paper, we describe a simple re-implementation of BERT for query-based passage re-ranking. Our system is the state of the art on the TREC-CAR dataset and the top entry in the leaderboard of the MS MARCO passage retrieval task, outperforming the previous state of the art by 27\% (relative) in MRR@10. \n
[4] Title: Bidirectional Attention Flow for Machine Comprehension Text: Machine comprehension (MC), answering a query about a given context paragraph, requires modeling complex interactions between the context and the query. Recently, attention mechanisms have been successfully extended to MC. Typically these methods use attention to focus on a small portion of the context and summarize it with a fixed-size vector, couple attentions temporally, and/or often form a uni-directional attention. In this paper we introduce the Bi-Directional Attention Flow (BIDAF) network, a multi-stage hierarchical process that represents the context at different levels of granularity and uses bi-directional attention flow mechanism to obtain a query-aware context representation without early summarization. Our experimental evaluations show that our model achieves the state-of-the-art results in Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) and CNN/DailyMail cloze test.\n

[0] We hypothesize that factual knowledge frequently discussed on the web is easily memorized by LMs, while the knowledge that is less discussed may not be well captured and thus they require retrieving external non-parametric memories. We evaluate ten large LMs of three families (i.e., GPT-Neo, OPT, and GPT-3) with varying scales on the open-domain question answering (QA) task in a zero- or few-shot prompting manner.
[1] We construct a new dataset, PopQA, consisting of 14k questions to cover factual information in the long tail that might have been missed in popular QA datasets Kwiatkowski et al. (2019). We use Wikipedia page views as a measure of popularity and convert knowledge triples from Wikidata, with diverse levels of popularity, into natural language questions, anchored to the original entities and relationship types. We also use EntityQuestions Sciavolino et al. (2021), an open-domain QA dataset with a long-tail distribution.
[2] Figure 4 (bottom) shows that there is a positive correlation between subject entity popularity and models' accuracy for almost all relationship types. This supports our hypothesis that subject entity popularity can be a reliable indicator of LMs' factual knowledge memorization. In general, the correlations between subject entity popularity and accuracy are stronger for larger LMs; GPT-3 003 shows the highest positive correlation (roughly 0.4) while GPT-Neo-1.3B shows relatively weak positive correlations (approximately 0.1).
[3] As seen in the left column of Figure 4, there are clear overall performance improvements with scale on the PopQA dataset. However, Figure 5 shows that on both PopQA and EntityQuestions, most of scaling's positive effect on parametric knowledge comes from questions with high popularity. Specifically, for the questions about the entities whose log 10 (subject popularity) is larger than 4, there is an improvement in accuracy as model size increases (red and yellow lines), while performance on questions with lower popularity remains relatively constant (blue and green lines). For the 4,000 least popular questions, GPT-Neo 6B, 20B, and GPT-3 davinci-003 have 15\%, 16\%, and 19\% accuracy, respectively.
[4] Our analysis indicates that even the current state-of-the-art LMs struggle with less popular subjects or certain relationship types, and increasing the model size does not lead to further performance improvements. In light of this, we extend our analysis to non-parametric sources of knowledge, as outlined in Section 2. Specifically, we investigate the effectiveness of retrieval-augmented LMs Borgeaud et al. (2022); Lewis et al. (2020), which leverage non-parametric memories (i.e., retrieved text) to improve performance.
[5] Figure 7 shows that augmenting LMs with non-parametric memories significantly outperforms unassisted vanilla LMs. A much smaller LM (e.g., GPT-Neo 2.7B) augmented by the Contriever retrieval results outperforms vanilla GPT-3. Large LMs such as GPT-3 also enjoy the benefits of non-parametric memories. Contriever gives 7\% accuracy gains on top of GPT-3 davinci-003. GenRead shows little-to-no performance improvement over vanilla parametric knowledge for smaller models, while the technique shows sizeable gains for GPT-3, especially davinci-003. In addition to its limited effectiveness with smaller LMs, GenRead has potentially prohibitive inference time costs, with GPT-NeoX 20B taking 70 seconds per query.

[4] Title: When Not to Trust Language Models: Investigating Effectiveness of Parametric and Non-Parametric Memories Text: On both datasets, LMs' memorization (RQ1) is often limited to the popular factual knowledge and even GPT-3 davinci-003 fails to answer the majority of the long-tail questions. Moreover, on such questions, scaling up models does not significantly improve the performance. This also suggests that we can predict if LMs memorize certain knowledge based on the information presented in the input question only. We next investigate whether a semi-parametric approach that augments LMs with retrieved evidence can mitigate the low performance on questions about less popular entities (RQ2). Nonparametric memories largely improve performance on long-tail distributions across models.
[5] Title: Democratizing Large Language Models via Personalized Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning Text: Personalization in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly important, aiming to align LLM's interactions, content, and recommendations with individual user preferences. Recent advances in LLM personalization have spotlighted effective prompt design, by enriching user queries with non-parametric knowledge through behavior history retrieval and textual profiles. However, these approaches were limited due to a lack of model ownership, resulting in constrained customization and privacy issues. Moreover, they often failed to accurately capture user behavior patterns, especially in cases where user data were complex and dynamic. To address these shortcomings, we introduce One PEFT Per User (OPPU), which employs personalized parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) modules, to store user-specific behavior patterns and preferences.
[6] Title: RECOMP: Improving Retrieval-Augmented LMs with Context Compression and Selective Augmentation Text: Retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) (Khandelwal et al., 2019; Izacard et al., 2022; Lewis et al., 2020; Borgeaud et al., 2022) have shown impressive performance on knowledge-intensive tasks (Kwiatkowski et al., 2019; Petroni et al., 2021). Simply prepending retrieved documents to the input without updating the language models (LMs) (Shi et al., 2023b; Ram et al., 2023; Si et al., 2022) allows retrieval augmentation even for black-box LMs, but such approach comes with limitations.

Statement: Language models store rich knowledge in their parameters during pre-training, resulting in their strong performance on many knowledge-intensive tasks. However, such parametric knowledge based generations are often hard to attribute. Models can also struggle in long-tail knowledge. On the other hand, non-parametric knowledge is retrieved from an external source, such as a large-scale collection of documents, during inference.

[1] Title: Reliable, Adaptable, and Attributable Language Models with Retrieval Text: Unlike parametric LMs—which use large-scale text data only during training; retrieval-augmented LMs leverage an external large-scale collection of documents (datastore) at inference by selecting relevant documents from the datastore (Asai et al., 2023a). Retrieval-augmented LMs can W1: largely reduce factual errors (Mallen et al., 2023), W2: provide better attributions (Gao et al., 2023a), W3: enabling flexible opt-in and out of sequences (Min et al., 2024).
[2] Title: Atlas: Few-shot Learning with Retrieval Augmented Language Models Text: In this work we present Atlas, a carefully designed and pre-trained retrieval augmented language model able to learn knowledge intensive tasks with very few training examples. We perform evaluations on a wide range of tasks, including MMLU, KILT and NaturalQuestions, and study the impact of the content of the document index, showing that it can easily be updated. Notably, Atlas reaches over 42\% accuracy on Natural Questions using only 64 examples, outperforming a 540B parameters model by 3\% despite having 50x fewer parameters.

[4] Title: When Not to Trust Language Models: Investigating Effectiveness of Parametric and Non-Parametric Memories Text: On both datasets, LMs' memorization (RQ1) is often limited to the popular factual knowledge and even GPT-3 davinci-003 fails to answer the majority of the long-tail questions. Moreover, on such questions, scaling up models does not significantly improve the performance. This also suggests that we can predict if LMs memorize certain knowledge based on the information presented in the input question only. We next investigate whether a semi-parametric approach that augments LMs with retrieved evidence can mitigate the low performance on questions about less popular entities (RQ2). Nonparametric memories largely improve performance on long-tail distributions across models.
[5] Title: Democratizing Large Language Models via Personalized Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning Text: Personalization in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly important, aiming to align LLM's interactions, content, and recommendations with individual user preferences. Recent advances in LLM personalization have spotlighted effective prompt design, by enriching user queries with non-parametric knowledge through behavior history retrieval and textual profiles. However, these approaches were limited due to a lack of model ownership, resulting in constrained customization and privacy issues. Moreover, they often failed to accurately capture user behavior patterns, especially in cases where user data were complex and dynamic. To address these shortcomings, we introduce One PEFT Per User (OPPU), which employs personalized parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) modules, to store user-specific behavior patterns and preferences.

Simply prepending retrieved documents to the input without updating the language models (LMs) (Shi et al., 2023b; Ram et al., 2023; Si et al., 2022) allows retrieval augmentation even for black-box LMs, but such approach comes with limitations.

Statement: Compared to other parameter efficient tuning method, adapters have shown to be more stable.
References:\n
Title: Towards a Unified View of Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning Text: To mitigate this issue, a few lightweight alternatives have been proposed to update only a small number of extra parameters while keeping most pretrained parameters frozen. For example, adapter tuning (Houlsby et al., 2019) inserts small neural modules called adapters to each layer of the pretrained network and only the adapters are trained at fine-tuning time. Inspired by the success of prompting methods that control PLMs through textual prompts (Brown et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021a), prefix tuning (Li & Liang, 2021) and prompt tuning (Lester et al., 2021) prepend an additional l tunable prefix tokens to the input or hidden layers and only train these soft prompts when fine-tuning on downstream tasks.

Question: What are the advantages of retrieval-augmented LMs?
Answer: Retrieval-augmented LMs have been effective in various use cases, including reducing hallucinations [0] and enabling efficient adaptations to new data, such as temporal shifts [1]. Empirical results suggest they reduce hallucinations by 30% [2].
Feedback: The answer provides solid empirical results on hallucination reduction but lacks data on efficient adaptations. Please include empirical results for that aspect as well.

RAG incorporates relevant context, unlike fine-tuning, which can lead to catastrophic forgetting. The performance of models like Orca2, fine-tuned via reinforcement learning, further demonstrates the advantages of RAG.
