It builds text one token after another and never forms one explicit vector for the whole sentence, so properties like topic, style or overall syntax stay hidden. The authors adapt the variational autoencoder to sentences. A single-layer LSTM encoder maps a… 2. **[Quality-Diversity through AI Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bradley-2023-quality-diversity-through-ai-feedback/)** *(2023 · 19 citations)* Quality-diversity (QD) search maintains a population of solutions that are both good and varied. However, it has rarely been used for creative text because quality and diversity are hard to define in code. The authors propose QDAIF, an evolutionary method in which language models handle all three parts of QD search.… ## All works 13 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.11416) arXiv:2210.11416 · no summary yet**Hyung Won Chung et al.*2022 · 3,392 citations* 2. **[Generating Sentences from a Continuous Space](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bowman-2016-generating-sentences-continuous-space/) [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/)**Samuel R.
