Researchers therefore commonly use the pseudo-log-likelihood (PLL) of Salazar et al. (2020), which masks each token in turn and adds up the log probabilities. Kauf and Ivanova show that this standard variant overrates… 2. **[Log Probabilities Are a Reliable Estimate of Semantic Plausibility in Base and Instruction-Tuned Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kauf-2024-log-probabilities-reliable-estimate-semantic/)** *(2024 · 29 citations)* The paper asks whether explicit prompting or log probabilities (LogProbs) give a better measure of how much language models know about semantic plausibility, which serves as a proxy for world knowledge. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Carina Kauf](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/carina-kauf/) ×2 - [Alessandro Lenci](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alessandro-lenci/) - [Emmanuele Chersoni](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/emmanuele-chersoni/) - [Evelina Fedorenko](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/evelina-fedorenko/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 54 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [16 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anna-a-ivanova/cited-by/).
