This limits in-context learning, multi-document question answering and other long-input uses. Earlier fixes usually needed specially trained architectures. The authors propose Parallel Context Windows (PCW), which works with any… 3. **[Generating Benchmarks for Factuality Evaluation of Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/muhlgay-2024-generating-benchmarks-factuality-evaluation-language/)** *(2024 · 79 citations)* Measuring how often a language model produces false statements in a given domain is hard. Methods that fact-check a model's own samples cannot choose which facts get tested, and they favour common knowledge over rare or domain-specific facts. Perplexity is often used as a stand-in, but it reflects many linguistic… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[SenseBERT: Driving Some Sense into BERT](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/levine-2020-sensebert-driving-some-sense-into/)**Yoav Levine, Barak Lenz, Or Dagan, et al.*[Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) · 259 citations* 2. **[Parallel Context Windows for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ratner-2023-parallel-context-windows-large-language/)**Nir Ratner, Yoav Levine, Yonatan Belinkov, et al.*[Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) · 102 citations* 3. **[Generating Benchmarks for Factuality Evaluation of Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/muhlgay-2024-generating-benchmarks-factuality-evaluation-language/)**Dor Muhlgay, Ori Ram, Inbal Magar, et al.*[Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/) · 79 citations* 4. **[Jamba-1.5: Hybrid Transformer-Mamba Models at Scale](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.12570) · original ↗ · no summary yet · arXiv:2408.12570**Jamba Team: Barak Lenz et al.*2024 · 30 citations* ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Amnon Shashua](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amnon-shashua/) ×3 - [Ori Ram](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ori-ram/) ×3 - [Yoav Levine](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoav-levine/) ×3 - [Inbal Magar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/inbal-magar/) ×2 - [Kevin Leyton-Brown](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kevin-leyton-brown/) ×2 - [Nir Ratner](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nir-ratner/) ×2 - [Omri Abend](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/omri-abend/) ×2 - [Yonatan Belinkov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yonatan-belinkov/) ×2 ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2023/), [ACL 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2020/) - [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/): [EACL 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 237 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [26 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoav-shoham/cited-by/).
