NLP also lacks the cheap, general augmentation tricks that are standard in computer vision. Wei and Zou propose EDA, a set of four simple text edits applied to training sentences: synonym replacement using WordNet, random insertion of a synonym, random… 2. **[Evaluation Metrics in the Era of GPT-4: Reliably Evaluating Large Language Models on Sequence to Sequence Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sottana-2023-evaluation-metrics-era-gpt-4/)** *(2023 · 89 citations)* The authors examine whether standard automatic metrics still judge modern generative LLMs fairly on sequence-to-sequence tasks. ## 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.
