Picking a good template usually requires a labeled validation set, or gradient access to the model for continuous prompt tuning. Sorensen et al. propose a label-free alternative that needs only the model's output probabilities. 2. **[Leveraging Large Language Models for Multiple Choice Question Answering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/robinson-2022-leveraging-large-language-models-multiple/)** *(2022 · 157 citations)* Large language models such as GPT-3 do well on multiple choice question answering (MCQA) in zero-, one-, and few-shot settings, yet still trail specialized state-of-the-art (SOTA) systems. ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Christopher Michael Rytting](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/christopher-michael-rytting/) ×2 - [David Wingate](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-wingate/) ×2 - [Mahmoud Khalil](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mahmoud-khalil/) - [Nancy Fulda](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nancy-fulda/) - [Taylor Sorensen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/taylor-sorensen/) ## 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 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2022/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 189 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/joshua-robinson/cited-by/).
