They invent facts, reach conclusions that do not follow from their own reasoning, and sometimes produce toxic or biased text. Fixing these flaws with human feedback (e.g., RLHF) is expensive and cannot happen in real time. This TACL survey therefore focuses on… 2. **[Large Language Models Are Latent Variable Models: Explaining and Finding Good Demonstrations for In-Context Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2023-large-language-models-latent-variable/)** *(2023 · 116 citations)* In-context learning in LLMs depends heavily on which few-shot demonstrations are chosen. Existing theories of why it works have mostly been tested on synthetic data and toy Transformers. This paper treats real-world LLMs as implicit latent variable models, similar to topic models. In this view, the prompt lets the… 3. **[PECO: Examining Single Sentence Label Leakage in Natural Language Inference Datasets through Progressive Evaluation of Cluster Outliers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saxon-2023-peco-examining-single-sentence-label/)** *(2023 · 9 citations)* NLI is meant to be a pairwise task: the relation between premise and hypothesis should depend on both sentences together. 4. **[CAIRE: Cultural Attribution of Images with Retrieval](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yayavaram-2026-caire-cultural-attribution-images-retrieval/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Text-to-image systems often depict cultures unevenly, favouring Western imagery or producing stereotyped and inaccurate pictures. ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Automatically Correcting Large Language Models: Surveying the Landscape of Diverse Automated Correction Strategies](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pan-2024-automatically-correcting-large-language-models/) [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/)**Liangming Pan, Michael Saxon, Wenda Xu, et al.*2024 · 140 citations* 2. **[Large Language Models Are Latent Variable Models: Explaining and Finding Good Demonstrations for In-Context Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2023-large-language-models-latent-variable/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Xinyi Wang, Wanrong Zhu, Michael Saxon, et al.*2023 · 116 citations* 3. **[Self-Supervised Knowledge Assimilation for Expert-Layman Text Style Transfer ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.02950) arXiv:2110.02950 · no summary yet**Wenda Xu et al.*2021 · 11 citations* 4. **[PECO: Examining Single Sentence Label Leakage in Natural Language Inference Datasets through Progressive Evaluation of Cluster Outliers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saxon-2023-peco-examining-single-sentence-label/) [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/)**Michael Saxon, Xinyi Wang, Wenda Xu, et al.*2023 · 9 citations* 5. **[Lost in Translation?
