The authors build such a corpus cheaply with "self-chat": ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo) writes both the user and the assistant… 2. **[BERT-of-Theseus: Compressing BERT by Progressive Module Replacing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2020-bert-theseus-compressing-bert-progressive/)** *(2020 · 239 citations)* Large pretrained Transformers such as BERT are expensive to deploy because they use a lot of memory and run slowly. ## All works 3 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. **[Baize: An Open-Source Chat Model with Parameter-Efficient Tuning on Self-Chat Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2023-baize-open-source-chat-model/)**Canwen Xu, Daya Guo, Nan Duan, et al.*[Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/) · 296 citations* 2. **[BERT-of-Theseus: Compressing BERT by Progressive Module Replacing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2020-bert-theseus-compressing-bert-progressive/)**Canwen Xu, Wangchunshu Zhou, Tao Ge, et al.*[Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/) · 239 citations* 3. **[RepoBench: Benchmarking Repository-Level Code Auto-Completion Systems](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.03091) · original ↗ · no summary yet · arXiv:2306.03091**Tianyang Liu, Canwen Xu, Julian McAuley*2023 · 117 citations* ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Daya Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daya-guo/) - [Furu Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/furu-wei/) - [Julian McAuley](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julian-mcauley/) - [Ming Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ming-zhou/) - [Nan Duan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nan-duan/) - [Tao Ge](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tao-ge/) - [Wangchunshu Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wangchunshu-zhou/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/) ×3: [EMNLP 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2023/), [EMNLP 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2020/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 9,197 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [776 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/canwen-xu/cited-by/).
