This paper introduces Qwen, a comprehensive language model series that includes base and chat models. These models demonstrate superior performance across a multitude of tasks, and the chat models, particularly those trained using RLHF, are highly competitive. The models also possess advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for creating agent applications, and coding-specialized and mathematics-focused models are also developed. These models have the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by providing improved performance in comparison with open-source models.
This paper explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to leverage structural information in graph data to improve node classification tasks. Results suggest that LLMs can benefit from structural information, especially when textual node features are

This paper explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to leverage structural information in graph data to improve node classification tasks. Results suggest that LLMs can benefit from structural information, especially when textual node features are scarce, and that the performance of LLMs is strongly related to local homophily. These findings have the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research of the described techniques.
This paper examines the potential of Chain-of-Thought prompting to improve the multi-step reasoning abilities of large language models. Results show that incorrect CoT prompting leads to poor accuracy, while correct values are crucial for predicting correct answers. This research has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by deepening our understanding of CoT prompting and opening new questions about LLMs' ability to learn reasoning in context.
This paper introduces MTOB, a benchmark for learning to translate between English and Kalamang, a low-resource language with less than 200 speakers. Results show that current large language models are promising but fall short of human performance. This task framing could help expand access to language technology for underserved communities and create a lasting impact in academic research.
GPT-Fathom is an open-source evaluation suite that provides a comprehensive and reproducible assessment of large language models. It offers valuable insights into the evolution of OpenAI's models from GPT-3 to GPT-4, and has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by providing transparency into the capabilities and limitations of LLMs.
This paper examines the challenges of the LMaaS paradigm, which restricts access to powerful language models, and provides recommendations to improve the ARRT (accessibility, replicability, reliability, and trustworthiness) of these models. It also offers an overview of the current major LMaaS, with the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research.
This paper presents a new hyperparameter tuning method for deep learning models, using $\mu$P parameterized networks and residual networks with a residual branch scale of $1/\sqrt{\text{depth}}$. Experiments demonstrate that optimal hyperparameters transfer across width and depth, and theory supports this with a well-defined feature learning joint infinite-width and infinite-depth limit. This could have a lasting impact on academic research, reducing the cost of hyperparameter tuning.
KLoB is a benchmark for assessing knowledge locating methods in language models, providing a method to test the validity of the locality hypothesis of factual knowledge. It can help evaluate existing locating methods and create a lasting impact in academic research.
HyperPPO is a reinforcement learning algorithm that uses graph hypernetworks to find small, yet performant neural network architectures for robotic control. It is scalable and sample efficient, allowing for multiple trained policies to be obtained quickly. The potential for this technique to create a lasting impact in academic research is high, as it can enable the use of smaller, more efficient neural networks for robotic control.
This paper presents a method to detect semantic changes in daily life environments using a pre-trained large-scale vision-language model. This method has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research, as it does not require any training or fine-tuning, is not affected by noise, and is sensitive to semantic state changes. It was demonstrated to be effective in a patrol task in a real-life environment using a mobile robot.
