+# MOAT: ALTERNATING MOBILE CONVOLUTION AND ATTENTION BRINGS STRONG VISION MODELS

+# ABSTRACT
+
+This paper presents MOAT, a family of neural networks that build on top of MObile convolution (i.e., inverted residual blocks) and ATtention. Unlike the current works that stack separate mobile convolution and transformer blocks, we effectively merge them into a MOAT block. Starting with a standard Transformer block, we replace its multi-layer perceptron with a mobile convolution block, and further reorder it before the self-attention operation. The mobile convolution block not only enhances the network representation capacity, but also produces better downsampled features. Our conceptually simple MOAT networks are surprisingly effective, achieving $8 9 . 1 \% / 8 1 . 5 \%$ top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K / ImageNet-1K-V2 with ImageNet22K pretraining. Additionally, MOAT can be seamlessly applied to downstream tasks that require large resolution inputs by simply converting the global attention to window attention. Thanks to the mobile convolution that effectively exchanges local information between pixels (and thus cross-windows), MOAT does not need the extra window-shifting mechanism. As a result, on COCO object detection, MOAT achieves $5 9 . 2 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ with 227M model parameters (single-scale inference, and hard NMS), and on ADE20K semantic segmentation, MOAT attains $5 7 . 6 \%$ mIoU with 496M model parameters (single-scale inference). Finally, the tinyMOAT family, obtained by simply reducing the channel sizes, also surprisingly outperforms several mobile-specific transformer-based models on ImageNet. The tiny-MOAT family is also benchmarked on downstream tasks, serving as a baseline for the community. We hope our simple yet effective MOAT will inspire more seamless integration of convolution and self-attention. Code is publicly available.1

+# 1 INTRODUCTION
+
+The vision community has witnessed the prevalence of self-attention (Bahdanau et al., 2015) and Transformers (Vaswani et al., 2017). The success of Transformers in natural language processing motivates the creation of their variants for vision recognition. The Vision Transformer (ViT) (Dosovitskiy et al., 2021) has great representation capacity with global receptive field. However, it requires pretraining on a large-scale proprietary dataset (Sun et al., 2017). Its unsatisfying performance, when trained with a small number of images, calls for the need of better training recipes (Touvron et al., 2021a; Steiner et al., 2021) or architectural designs (Liu et al., 2021; Graham et al., 2021). On the other hand, ConvNet has been the dominant network choice since the advent of AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al., 2012) in 2012. Vision researchers have condensed the years of network design experience into multiple principles, and have started to incorporate them to vision transformers. For example, there are some works adopting the ConvNet’s hierarchical structure to extract multi-scale features for vision transformers (Liu et al., 2021; Fan et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2022), and others proposing to integrate the translation equivariance of convolution into transformers (Graham et al., 2021; d’Ascoli et al., 2021; Xiao et al., 2021).

+Along the same direction of combining the best from Transformers and ConvNets, CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021) and MobileViT (Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a) demonstrate outstanding performance by stacking Mobile Convolution (MBConv) blocks (i.e., inverted residual blocks (Sandler et al., 2018)) and Transformer blocks (i.e., a self-attention layer and a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP)). However, both works focus on the macro-level network design. They consider MBConv and Transformer blocks as individual separate ones, and systematically study the effect of stacking them to strike a better balance between the remarkable efficiency of MBConv and strong capacity of Transformer.
+
+In this work, on the contrary, we study the micro-level building block design by taking a deeper look at the combination of MBConv and Transformer blocks. We make two key observations after a careful examination of those blocks. First, the MLP module in Transformer block is similar to MBConv, as both adopt the inverted bottleneck design. However, MBConv is a more powerful operation by employing one extra $3 \times 3$ depthwise convolution (to encode local interaction between pixels), and more activation (Hendrycks & Gimpel, 2016) and normalization (Ioffe & Szegedy, 2015) are employed between convolutions. Second, to extract multi-scale features using Transformer blocks, one may apply the average-pooling (with stride 2) to input features before the self-attention layer. However, the pooling operation reduces the representation capacity of self-attention. Our observations motivate us to propose a novel MObile convolution with ATtention (MOAT) block, which efficiently combines MBConv and Transformer blocks. The proposed MOAT block modifies the Transformer block by first replacing its MLP with a MBConv block, and then reversing the order of attention and MBConv. The replacement of MLP with MBConv brings more representation capacity to the network, and reversing the order (MBConv comes before self-attention) delegates the downsampling duty to the strided depthwise convolution within the MBConv, learning a better downsampling kernel.
+
+We further develop a family of MOAT models by stacking and increasing the channels of network blocks. Surprisingly, our extremely simple design results in a remarkable impact. On the challenging ImageNet-1K classification benchmark (Russakovsky et al., 2015), our model (190M parameters) achieves $8 6 . 7 \%$ top-1 accuracy without extra data. When further pretraining on ImageNet-22K, our best model (483M parameters) attains $8 9 . 1 \% / 8 1 . 5 \%$ top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K (Tab. 2) / ImageNet-1K-V2 (Tab. 9), setting a new state-of-the-art.
+
+Additionally, MOAT can be seamlessly deployed to downstream tasks that require large resolution inputs by simply converting the global attention to non-overlapping local window attention. Thanks to the MBConv that effectively exchanges local information between pixels (enabling cross-window propagation), MOAT does not need the extra window-shifting mechanism (Liu et al., 2021). As a result, on COCO object detection (Lin et al., 2014) and ADE20K semantic segmentation (Zhou et al., 2019), MOAT shows superior performances. Specifically, on COCO object detection (Tab. 3), our best model (227M parameters), achieves $5 9 . 2 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ with single-scale inference and hard NMS, setting a new state-of-the-art in the regime of model size 200M with Cascade Mask R-CNN (Cai & Vasconcelos, 2018; He et al., 2017). On ADE20K semantic segmentation (Tab. 4), our best model (496M parameters), adopting DeepLabv3 $^ { + }$ (Chen et al., 2018), attains $5 7 . 6 \%$ mIoU with single-scale inference, also setting a new state-of-the-art in the regime of models using input size $6 4 1 \times 6 4 1$ .
+
+Finally, to explore the scalability of MOAT models, we simply scale down the models by reducing the channel sizes (without any other change), resulting in the tiny-MOAT family, which also surprisingly outperforms mobile-specific transformer-based models, such as Mobile-Former (Chen et al., 2022c) and MobileViTs (Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a;b). Specifically, in the regime of model parameters 5M, 10M, and 20M, our tiny MOAT outperforms the concurrent MobileViTv2 (Mehta & Rastegari, 2022b) by $1 . 1 \%$ , $1 . 3 \%$ , and $2 . 0 \%$ top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K classification benchmark (Tab. 5). Furthermore, we benchmark tiny-MOAT on COCO object detection and ADE20K semantic segmentation.
+
+In summary, our method advocates the design principle of simplicity. Without inventing extra complicated operations, the proposed MOAT block effectively merges the strengths of both mobile convolution and self-attention into one block by a careful redesign. Despite its conceptual simplicity, impressive results have been obtained on multiple core vision recognition tasks. We hope our study will inspire future research on seamless integration of convolution and self-attention.

+
+# 2 METHOD
+
+Herein, we review the Mobile Convolution (MBConv) (Sandler et al., 2018) and Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017) blocks before introducing the proposed MOAT block. We then present MOAT, a family of neural networks, targeting at different trade-offs between accuracy and model complexity.
+
+# 2.1 MOBILE CONVOLUTION AND TRANSFORMER BLOCKS
+
+MBConv block. Also known as the inverted residual block, the Mobile Convolution (MBConv) (Sandler et al., 2018) block (Fig. 1 (a)) is an effective building block that has been widely used in mobile models (Howard et al., 2019; Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a) or efficient models (Tan & Le, 2019; Dai et al., 2021). Unlike the bottleneck block in ResNet (He et al., 2016a), the MBConv block employs the design of an “inverted bottleneck”, together with the efficient depthwise convolution (Howard et al., 2017). Specifically, a $1 \times 1$ convolution is first applied to expand the input channels by a factor of 4. Then, a $3 \times 3$ depthwise convolution is used to effectively capture the local spatial interactions between pixels. Finally, the features are projected back to the original channel size via a $1 \times 1$ convolution, enabling a residual connection (He et al., 2016a). An optional Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) (Hu et al., 2018) module (which uses the global information to re-weight the channel activation) may also be used after the depthwise convolution, following MobileNetV3 (Howard et al., 2019). Note that one could tune the channel expansion ratio and depthwise convolution kernel size for better performance. We fix them throughout the experiments for simplicity.
+
+Formally, given an input tensor $x \in \mathbb { R } ^ { H \times W \times C }$ $( H , W , C$ are its height, width, and channels), the MBConv block is represented as follows:
+
+$$
+\begin{array} { r l } & { \mathbf { M B C o n v } ( x ) = x + ( \mathcal { N } _ { 2 } \circ \mathcal { S } \circ \mathcal { D } \circ \mathcal { N } _ { 1 } ) ( \mathbf { B N } ( x ) ) , } \\ & { \qquad \mathcal { N } _ { 1 } ( x ) = \mathbf { G e L U } ( \mathbf { B N } ( \mathbf { C o n v } ( x ) ) ) , } \\ & { \qquad \mathcal { D } ( x ) = \mathbf { G e L U } ( \mathbf { B N } ( \mathbf { D e p t h C o n v } ( x ) ) ) , } \\ & { \qquad \mathcal { S } ( x ) = \sigma ( \mathbf { M L P } ( \mathbf { G A P } ( x ) ) \cdot x , } \\ & { \qquad \mathcal { N } _ { 2 } ( x ) = \mathbf { C o n v } ( x ) , } \end{array}
+$$
+
+where BN, GeLU, GAP, and MLP stand for Batch Normalization (Ioffe & Szegedy, 2015), Gaussian error Linear Unit (Hendrycks & Gimpel, 2016), Global Average Pooling, and Multi-Layer Perceptron (with reduction ratio 4 and hard-swish (Ramachandran et al., 2017)), respectively. The MBConv block consists of four main functions: $\mathcal { N } _ { 1 } , \mathcal { D } , S$ , and $\mathcal { N } _ { 2 }$ , which correspond to the $1 \times 1$ convolution for channel expansion (by $4 \times$ ), $3 \times 3$ depthwise convolution, squeeze-and-excitation (Hu et al., 2018) $\scriptstyle { \sigma }$ is the sigmoid function), and $1 \times 1$ convolution for channel projection (by $4 \times$ ), respectively.
+
+Transformer block. The Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017) block (Fig. 1 (b)) is a powerful building block that effectively captures the global information via the data-dependent self-attention operation. It consists of two main operations: self-attention and MLP. The self-attention operation computes the attention map based on the pairwise similarity between every pair of pixels in the input tensor, thus enabling the model’s receptive field to encompass the entire spatial domain. Additionally, the attention map dynamically depends on the input, enlarging the model’s representation capacity (unlike the convolution kernels, which are data-independent). The MLP operation contains two $1 \times 1$ convolutions, where the first one expands the channels (by $4 \times \phantom { }$ , the second one shrinks back the channels, and GeLU non-linearity is used in-between.
+
+Formally, given an input tensor $x \in \mathbb { R } ^ { H \times W \times C }$ , the Transformer block is represented as follows:
+
+$$
+\begin{array} { r l r } & { } & { \mathrm { { T r a n s f o r m e r } } ( x ) = x + ( \mathcal { M } _ { 2 } \circ \mathcal { M } _ { 1 } \circ \mathbf { A } \mathbf { t t u } ) ( \mathrm { L N } ( x ) ) , } \\ & { } & { \mathcal { M } _ { 1 } ( x ) = \mathrm { G e L U } ( \mathbf { C o n v } ( \mathrm { L N } ( x ) ) ) , } \\ & { } & { \mathcal { M } _ { 2 } ( x ) = \mathbf { C o n v } ( x ) , \qquad } \end{array}
+$$
+
+where LN and Attn denote the Layer Normalization (Ba et al., 2016), and self-attention (Vaswani et al., 2017). The self-attention operation also includes a residual connection (He et al., 2016a), which is not shown in the equations for simplicity, while the MLP operation is represented by two functions $\mathcal { M } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathcal { M } _ { 2 }$ , which correspond to the $1 \times 1$ convolution for channel expansion (by $4 \times$ ) and $1 \times 1$ convolution for channel projection, respectively.
+
+# 2.2 MOBILE CONVOLUTION WITH ATTENTION (MOAT) BLOCK
+
+Comparing MBConv and Transformer blocks. Before getting into the architecture of our MOAT block, it is worthwhile to compare the MBConv (Sandler et al., 2018) and Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017) blocks, which helps to understand our design motivations. Specifically, we make the following key observations.
+
+First, both MBConv and Transformer blocks advocate the “inverted bottleneck” design, where the channels of input tensors are expanded and then projected by $1 \times 1$ convolutions. However, MBConv additionally employs a $3 \times 3$ depthwise convolution between those two $1 \times 1$ convolutions, and there are both batch normalization and GeLU activation between the convolutions.
+
+Second, to capture the global information, the MBConv block may employ a Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) module, while the Transformer block adopts the self-attention operation. Note that the SE module squeezes the spatial information via a global average pooling, while the self-attention module maintains the tensor’s spatial resolution.
+
+Third, the downsampling operation is performed at different places within the block. To downsample the features, the standard MBConv block uses the strided depthwise convolution, while the Transformer block, deployed in the modern hybrid model CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021), adopts an average-pooling operation before the self-attention.
+
+MOAT block. Given the above observations, we now attempt to design a new block that effectively merges the best from both MBConv and Transformer blocks. We begin with the powerful Transformer block, and gradually refine over it.
+
+Based on the first observation, both MBConv and Transformer blocks employ the “inverted bottleneck” design. Since depthwise convolution could effectively encode local interaction between pixels, which is crucial for modeling the translation equivariance in ConvNets, we thus start to add the depthwise convolution to Transformer’s MLP module. However, we did not observe any performance improvement until we also added the extra normalization and activations between convolutions.
+
+For the second observation, we simply do not add the SE module to the MBConv block. The self-attention operation is kept to capture the global information.
+
+We found the third observation critical. The downsampling operation (average-pooling) right before the self-attention operation in Transformer block slightly reduces its representation capacity. On the other hand, the MBConv block is well-designed for the downsampling operation with the strided depthwise convolution, which effectively learns the downsampling convolution kernel for each input channel. Therefore, we further reorder the “inverted bottleneck” (containing depthwise convolution) before the self-attention operation, delegating the downsampling operation to depthwise convolution.
+
+In this way, we need no extra downsampling layer like average-pooling in CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021), or patch-embedding layers in Swin (Liu et al., 2021) and ConvNeXt (Liu et al., 2022b). Finally, it results in our MObile convolution with ATtention (MOAT) block, as illustrated in Fig. 1 (c).
+
+Formally, given an input tensor $x \in \mathbb { R } ^ { H \times W \times C }$ , the MOAT block is represented as follows:
+
+$$
+\mathbf { M O A T } ( x ) = x + ( \mathbf { A t t n } \circ \mathcal { N } _ { 2 } \circ \mathcal { D } \circ \mathcal { N } _ { 1 } ) ( \mathbf { B N } ( x ) ) ,
+$$
+
+where MBConv (w/o SE) contains functions $\mathcal { N } _ { 1 }$ (Eq. 2), $\mathcal { D }$ (Eq. 3), and $\mathcal { N } _ { 2 }$ (Eq. 5), and Attn denotes the self-attention operation. The MOAT block then simply consists of MBConv (w/o SE) and the self-attention operation, successfully combining the best from the MBConv block and Transformer block into one (which we will show empirically).
+
+# 2.3 META ARCHITECTURE
+
+Macro-level network design. After developing the MOAT block, we then study how to effectively stack them to form our base model. We adopt the same strategy as the existing works (Liu et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2021b; Graham et al., 2021; Xiao et al., 2021; Dai et al., 2021; Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a). Specifically, we summarize several key findings from those works, and use them as design principles of our meta architecture.
+
+• Employing convolutions in the early stages improves the performance and training convergence of Transformer models (Wu et al., 2021; Graham et al., 2021; Xiao et al., 2021). • The Mobile Convolution (MBConv) (Sandler et al., 2018) blocks are also effective building blocks in the hybrid Conv-Transformer models (Dai et al., 2021; Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a). • Extracting multi-scale backbone features benefits the downstream tasks, such as detection and segmentation (Liu et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2021b; Fan et al., 2021; Heo et al., 2021).
+
+As a result, our meta architecture consists of the convolutional stem, MBConv blocks, and MOAT blocks. Additionally, through the ablation study in the appendix, we found the layer layout proposed by CoAtNet-1 (Dai et al., 2021) effective. We thus follow their layer layout, resulting in our base model MOAT-1. To form the MOAT model family, we then scale down or up MOAT-1 in the dimensions of number of blocks and number of channels, as shown in Tab. 1. We only scale the number of blocks in the third and fourth stages (out of five stages). The downsampling operation is performed in the first block of each stage. Note that our base model MOAT-1 and CoAtNet-1 share the same layer layout and channel sizes. However, we take a different scaling strategy: our MOAT is scaled up (or down) by alternatively increasing the depth and expanding the width between variants.

+# 3 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
+
+In this section, we show that MOAT variants are effective on the ImageNet-1K (Russakovsky et al., 2015) image classification. We then deploy them to other recognition tasks, including COCO object detection (Lin et al., 2014), instance segmentation (Hariharan et al., 2014), and ADE20K (Zhou et al., 2019) semantic segmentation. MOAT can be seamlessly applied to downstream tasks. For small resolution inputs, we directly fine-tune the global attention, while for large resolution inputs, we simply convert the global attention to non-overlapping local window attention without using extra window-shifting mechanism. The detailed experiment setup could be found in the appendix.

+
+ImageNet Image Classification. In Tab. 2, we include the current state-of-art methods in the categories of ConvNets, ViTs and Hybrid models. At similar model costs (parameters or FLOPs), our MOAT models consistently outperform all of them. Specifically, with the ImageNet-1K data only and input size 224, for light-weight models, our MOAT-0 significantly outperforms ConvNeXt-T (Liu et al., 2022b), Swin-T (Liu et al., 2022b), and CoAtNet-0 (Dai et al., 2021) by $1 . 2 \%$ , $2 . 0 \%$ , and $1 . 7 \%$ , respectively. For large-scale models using input size 384, MOAT-3 is able to surpass ConvNeXt-L, CoAtNet-3 by $1 . 0 \%$ and $0 . 7 \%$ , respectively. With the ImageNet-22K pretraining and input size 384, the prior arts ConvNeXt-L, Swin-L, and CoAtNet-3 already show strong performances $( 8 7 . 5 \%$ , $8 7 . 3 \%$ and $8 7 . 6 \%$ ), while our MOAT-3 achieves the score of $8 8 . 2 \%$ , outperforming them by $0 . 7 \%$ , $0 . 9 \%$ , and $0 . 6 \%$ , respectively. For ImageNet-1K and input size 224, we plot the performances vs. parameters and FLOPs in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, respectively. For ImageNet-22K pretraining and input size 384, we plot the performances vs. parameters and FLOPs in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, respectively. In the figures, MOAT clearly demonstrates the best performance in all computation regimes. Finally, our largest model MOAT-4, with ImageNet-22K and input size 512, further attains $8 9 . 1 \%$ accuracy.
+
+COCO Detection. Tab. 3 summarizes the COCO object detection (box) and instance segmentation (mask) results. Our MOAT backbones significantly outperform the baseline methods, including Swin (Liu et al., 2021) and ConvNeXt (Liu et al., 2022b) across different model sizes. Specifically, our MOAT-0 outperforms Swin-T and ConvNeXt-T by $5 . 4 \%$ and $5 . 5 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ ( $3 . 7 \%$ and $3 . 7 \%$ $\mathbf { A P } ^ { \mathrm { m a s k } } )$ ). Our MOAT-1 surpasses Swin-S and ConvNeXt-S by $5 . 9 \%$ and $5 . 8 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ ( $4 . 3 \%$ and $4 . 0 \%$ $\mathbf { A P } ^ { \mathrm { m a s k } } ,$ ). Our MOAT-2, with 110M parameters, is still $5 . 5 \%$ and $4 . 5 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ ( $3 . 5 \%$ and $2 . 4 \%$ APmask) better than Swin-B and ConvNeXt-B. Finally, our MOAT-3, using 227M parameters, achieves $5 9 . 2 \%$ $\mathsf { A P } ^ { \mathsf { b o x } }$ $5 0 . 3 \%$ APmask), setting a new state-of-the-art in the regime of model size $2 0 0 \mathbf { M }$ that is built on top of Cascade Mask R-CNN (Cai & Vasconcelos, 2018; He et al., 2017). More comparisons with smaller input size can be found in Tab. 12. For tiny-MOAT, tiny-MOAT-0/1 achieve the same performance as Swin-T/S and ConvNeXt-T/S but only use less than half of the parameters. Furthermore, tiny-MOAT-3 is pretrained with ImageNet-1K and attains $5 5 . 2 \mathrm { A P ^ { b o x } }$ with 57M parameters, surpassing the ImageNet-22k pretrained Swin-L $( 5 3 . 9 \mathrm { A P } ^ { \mathrm { b o x } }$ with 254M parameters) and ConvNeXt-L $5 4 . 8 \mathrm { \ A P ^ { b o x } }$ with $2 5 5 \mathbf { M }$ parameters).

+# 4 ABLATION STUDIES ON IMAGENET
+
+At micro level, we perform ablation studies on the MOAT block design and downsampling layer in the following and the order of MBConv and Attention in MOAT block in section A.6.1. At macro level, we perform ablation studies on the MOAT-based model and MOAT meta architecture in section A.6.2.
+
+MOAT block design. In Tab. 6, we ablate the MOAT block design, which only affects the last two stages of MOAT, and we keep everything else the same (e.g., training recipes). We start from the Transformer block, consisting of Attn (self-attention) and MLP, which already attains a strong top-1 accuracy $( 8 2 . 6 \% )$ . Directly inserting a $3 \times 3$ depthwise convolution in the MLP degrades the performance by $0 . 9 \%$ . If we additionally insert batch normalization and GeLU between convolutions (i.e., replace MLP with MBConv, but no Squeeze-and-Excitation), the performance is improved to $8 2 . 9 \%$ . Finally, placing MBConv before Attn reaches the performance of $8 3 . 3 \%$ . Additionally, our MOAT block brings more improvements (from $1 . 2 \%$ up to $2 . 6 \%$ gains) in the tiny model regime.
+
+Downsampling layer. For the MOAT block design, we do not need the extra downsampling layer like (1) average-pooling in CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021), (2) patch-embedding layer (i.e., $2 \times 2$ convolution with stride 2) in Swin (Liu et al., 2021) and ConvNeXt (Liu et al., 2022b), or (3) strided depthwise convolution in PiT (Heo et al., 2021) and RegionViT (Chen et al., 2022a). As shown in Tab. 7, using patch-embedding layer indeed improves over the average-pooling scheme by $0 . 2 \%$ accuracy, but it takes more cost of model parameters. Additionally, using the strided depthwise convolution for downsampling leads to $0 . 2 \%$ worse performance than the patch-embedding layer. By contrast, our MOAT design (i.e., delegating the downsampling to the MBConv block) shows the best performance with the least cost of parameters and comparable FLOPs.

+# 5 RELATED WORK
+
+Transformers (Vaswani et al., 2017) were recently introduced to the vision community (Wang et al., 2018; Ramachandran et al., 2019; Hu et al., 2019) and demonstrated remarkable performance on vision recognition tasks (Carion et al., 2020; Zhu et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2021a; Arnab et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2021; Cheng et al., 2021; Yu et al., 2022a; Kim et al., 2022; Cheng et al., 2022; Yu et al., 2022b), thanks to their ability to efficiently encode long-range interaction via the attention mechanism (Bahdanau et al., 2015). Particularly, ViT (Dosovitskiy et al., 2021) obtains impressive results on ImageNet (Russakovsky et al., 2015) by applying the vanilla Transformer with the novel large stride patch embedding, after pretraining on the proprietary large-scale JFT dataset (Sun et al., 2017). There have been several works aiming to improve the vision transformers, either with better training strategies (Touvron et al., 2021a;b; Steiner et al., 2021; Zhai et al., 2022; Touvron et al., 2022) or with efficient local-attention modules (Huang et al., 2019; Ho et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021; Chu et al., 2021; Yang et al., 2021; Yu et al., 2021; Dong et al., 2022; Tu et al., 2022).
+
+Since the debut of AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al., 2012), the vision community has witnessed a rapid improvement on the ImageNet benchmark using different types of ConvNets, including (but not limited to) VGGNet (Simonyan & Zisserman, 2015), Inceptions (Szegedy et al., 2015; Ioffe & Szegedy, 2015; Szegedy et al., 2016; 2017), ResNets (He et al., 2016a;b), ResNeXt (Xie et al., 2017), DenseNet (Huang et al., 2017), SENet (Hu et al., 2018), MobileNets (Howard et al., 2017; Sandler et al., 2018; Howard et al., 2019), EfficientNets (Tan & Le, 2019; 2021), and ConvNeXt (Liu et al., 2022b) each focusing on different aspects of accuracy and efficiency. The ubiquity of ConvNets in computer vision could be attributed to their built-in inductive biases.
+
+Given the success of Transformers and ConvNets, another line of research is to explore how to effectively combine them. Swin (Liu et al., 2021; 2022a), PVT (Wang et al., 2021b; 2022), MViT (Fan et al., 2021; Li et al., 2022), and PiT (Heo et al., 2021) adopt the ConvNet hierarchical structure to extract multi-scale features for Transformers. SASA (Ramachandran et al., 2019), AA-ResNet (Bello et al., 2019), Axial-ResNet (Wang et al., 2020) and BoTNet (Srinivas et al., 2021) incorporate the attention modules to ResNets. CvT (Wu et al., 2021), LeViT (Graham et al., 2021), Visformer (Chen et al., 2021b), and $\mathrm { V i T } _ { C }$ (Xiao et al., 2021) replace ViT’s patch embedding with strided convolutions. CeiT (Yuan et al., 2021a) and CMT (Guo et al., 2022) incorporate depthwise convolution to the transformer block’s MLP. ViTAE (Xu et al., 2021) adopts parallel attention modules and convolutional layers. LVT (Yang et al., 2022) introduces local self-attention into the convolution. Recently, CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021) and MobileViT (Mehta & Rastegari, 2022a) propose hybrid models that build on top of the efficient Mobile Convolution (Sandler et al., 2018) and Transformer block.

+
+# A.1 MOAT IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+
+In the MOTA networks, we employ kernel size 3 for both convolutions and depthwise convolutions. We use the multi-head self attention (Vaswani et al., 2017), where each attention head has channels 32. For the MBConv and MOAT blocks, we use expansion ratio 4. The SE module (Hu et al., 2018) in the MBConv blocks (i.e., 2nd and 3rd stages) adopt reduction ratio 4 (relative to the input channels).
+
+Our MOAT block includes the relative positional embedding (Shaw et al., 2018; Dai et al., 2021) for ImageNet. However, the downstream tasks usually take a larger input resolution than ImageNet, demanding for a special adaptation (e.g., bilinear interpolation of pretrained positional embedding). For simplicity, we remove the positional embedding, when running MOAT on downstream tasks.
+
+# A.2 IMAGENET IMAGE CLASSIFICATION
+
+# A.2.1 IMAGENET EXPERIMENTS
+
+The ImageNet-1K dataset (Russakovsky et al., 2015) contains 1.2M training images with 1000 classes. We report top-1 accuracy on the ImageNet-1K validation set, using the last checkpoint. We also experiment with pretraining on the larger ImageNet-22K dataset, and then fine-tuning on the ImageNet-1K. We closely follow the prior works (Dai et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2022b) and provide more details below. In Tab. 8, we compare our MOAT with more state-of-the-art models.
+
+Experimental setup. We train MOAT models on ImageNet-1K with resolution 224 for 300 epochs. If pretraining on the larger ImageNet-22K, we use resolution 224 and 90 epochs. Afterwards, the models are fine-tuned on ImageNet-1K for 30 epochs. During fine-tuning, we also experiment with larger resolutions (e.g., 384 and 512). We employ the typical regularization methods during training, such as label smoothing (Szegedy et al., 2016), RandAugment (Cubuk et al., 2020), MixUp (Zhang et al., 2017), stochastic depth (Huang et al., 2016), and Adam (Kingma & Ba, 2015) with decoupled weight decay (i.e., AdamW (Loshchilov & Hutter, 2019)). See Tab. 10 and Tab. 11 for detailed hyper-parameters.
+
+# A.2.2 IMAGENET-1K-V2 EVALUATION
+
+To further demonstrate the transferability and generalizability of our MOAT models, we perform additional evaluations on the ImageNet-1K-V2 (Recht et al., 2019), using our ImageNet (Russakovsky et al., 2015) pretrained checkpoints. We report an extensive evaluation, using MOAT and several input resolutions, on ImageNet-1K-V2, aiming to establish another solid baseline for the community, as we notice that most of the existing models do not report results on ImageNet-1K-V2. As shown in the Tab. 9, MOAT does not overfit to ImageNet-1K-V1 dataset and generalizes well to ImageNet1K-V2 dataset, as we observe a continuous performance improvement from small to large models.

+A.3 COCO OBJECT DETECTION AND INSTANCE SEGMENTATION
+
+# A.3.1 COCO OBJECT DETECTION EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
+
+Experimental setup. We train Cascade Mask R-CNN (Cai & Vasconcelos, 2018; He et al., 2017) on the COCO 2017 dataset (Lin et al., 2014) with our MOAT architectures. The dataset contains 118K training and 5K validation samples. We use the official TensorFlow (Abadi et al., 2016) implementation of Cascade Mask R-CNN by TF-Vision Model Garden (Yu et al., 2020). Our training setting closely follows the prior works (Chen et al., 2022b; Tu et al., 2022), except that we use batch size 64 and initial learning rate 0.0001. To adapt the MOAT models to high-resolution inputs, we partition the features into non-overlapping windows for the self-attention computations with the window size set to 14 for the second last stage, and use global attention for the last stage. As a result of this window partition, the input size must be divisible by 14. The TF-Vision Model Garden codebase further requires the input size to be square (with padding) and divisible by 64. Hence, we choose 1344 as the input size, similar to the size used in the baseline methods (i.e., longest side is no more than 1333). We use Feature Pyramid Network (Lin et al., 2017) to integrate features from different levels.

+# A.4 ADE20K SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION
+
+Experimental setup. We experiment with the proposed MOAT models on ADE20K semantic segmentation dataset (Zhou et al., 2019) using DeepLabv $^ { 3 + }$ (Chen et al., 2018; 2017). We fine-tune the global attention for MOAT. The same training strategies are used for all backbone variants. Specifically, for training hyper-parameters, we train the model with 32 TPU cores for $1 8 0 \mathrm { k }$ iterations, with batch size 64, Adam (Kingma & Ba, 2015) optimizer, and a poly schedule learning rate starting at 0.0001. For data augmentations, the inputs images are resized and padded to either $5 1 3 \times 5 1 3$ or
+
+$6 4 1 \times 6 4 1$ , with random cropping, flipping, and color jittering (Cubuk et al., 2019). No test-time augmentation is used during inference.
+
+# A.5 COCO PANOPTIC SEGMENTATION
+
+Experimental setup. We also evaluate the proposed MOAT architectures on the challenging COCO panoptic segmentation dataset (Lin et al., 2014) using Panoptic-DeepLab (Cheng et al., 2020) with the official codebase (Weber et al., 2021). We fine-tune the global attention on downstream segmentation tasks for MOAT. We adopt the same training strategies for MOAT and its counterparts. Specifically, for training hyper-parameters, we train the model with 32 TPU cores for 200k iterations with the first 2k for warm-up stage. We use batch size 64, Adam (Kingma & Ba, 2015) optimizer, and a poly schedule learning rate starting at 0.0005. For data augmentations, the inputs images are resized and padded to $6 4 1 \times 6 4 1$ , with random cropping, flipping, and color jittering (Cubuk et al., 2019). No test-time augmentation is used during inference.
+
+Main results. The results are summarized in Tab. 13, where MOAT consistently outperforms other backbones. Specifically, our MOAT-0 surpasses ConvNeXt-T significantly by $4 . 3 \%$ PQ. In the large model regime, MOAT-3 surpasses ConvNeXt-L by $3 . 5 \%$ . Our MOAT-4 achieves the performance of $4 6 . 7 \%$ PQ, outperforming the heavy backbone SWideRNet (Chen et al., 2020) by $2 . 3 \%$ .

+Table 13: Panoptic segmentation on COCO val set. The results are obtained by applying different backbones with Panoptic-DeepLab, using single-scale inference (i.e., no test-time augmentation). Results for MobileNet, ResNet, and Xception are cited from (Cheng et al., 2020), and results for SWideRNet is cited from (Chen et al., 2020), while results for ConvNeXt and MOAT are obtained using the official code-base (Weber et al., 2021) with the same training recipe. All models are trained and evaluated with input images resized to $6 4 1 \times 6 4 1$ , and thus FLOPs are also measured w.r.t. size $6 4 1 \times 6 4 1$ . $^ \dagger$ : use ImageNet-22K pretrained weights.

+
+# A.6.1 ABLATION STUDIES ON THE MOAT MICRO-LEVEL DESIGN
+
+Order of MBConv and Attn in MOAT block. Our MOAT block design reverses the order of Attention (Attn) and Mobile Convolution (MBConv), delegating the downsampling duty to the strided depthwise convolution within the MBConv. However, the dowsampling can be still performed in the MBConv with the original order (i.e., Attn $^ +$ MBConv). Since the operations, Attn and MBConv, are interlaced, the key difference then comes from the first block in each stage, where the Attn is operated on the (1) spatially downsampled and/or (2) channel expanded features. To conduct the study, we employ different blocks in the MOAT variants, using ”Att $\Lambda + \Lambda { \bf L } { \bf P } ^ { \prime }$ , $\mathrm { ^ { 3 3 } A t t n + M B C o n v ^ { 3 } }$ , or ”MBConv $^ +$ Attn”. For the ”Attn $^ +$ MBConv” block, we further ablate the place (Attn vs. MBConv), where we apply the spatial downsampling and channel expansion operations.
+
+In Tab. 14, we observe the following results. First, replacing the MLP with MBConv improves the performance by $0 . 3 \%$ and $0 . 7 \%$ for MOAT-0 and tiny-MOAT-2. Second, if we perform both spatial downsampling and channel expansion at the MBConv block, the performance is further improved by $0 . 5 \%$ and $0 . 9 \%$ for MOAT-0 and tiny-MOAT-2, showing that MBConv learns better downsampled features. However, this design is equivalent to shifting the first Attn layer to its previous stage, reducing the representation capacity of the current stage. More concretely, only the last stage will be affected, since one layer is shifted. Third, to enhance the representation capacity, reversing the order of Attn and MBConv allows us to keep the first Attn layer in the same stage. This design further improves the performance by $0 . 7 \%$ and $1 . 2 \%$ for MOAT-0 and tiny-MOAT-2. Fourth, to compensate for the shifting effect, we could also employ another $1 \times 1$ convolution to expand the channels at the first Attn layer (then, MBConv only performs the spatial downsampling). However, this design performs similarly to our MOAT block design, but uses more parameters and FLOPs.

+
+Ablation studies on MOAT-based model. In Tab. 15, we ablate the stage-wise design by using either MBConv or MOAT block in stage 2 to stage 5. The first stage is the convolutional stem, containing two $3 \times 3$ convolutions. We use the layer layout of MOAT-0. As shown in the table, the pure MOAT-based model (i.e., using MOAT blocks for all four stages) achieves the best performance of $8 3 . 6 \%$ , which however uses the most FLOPs. Our MOAT model design (i.e., use MOAT block in the last two stages) attains the better trade-off between accuracy and model complexity.

+Ablation studies on MOAT meta architecture. We perform ablation studies on the meta-architecture by varying the number of blocks per stage. For simplicity, we only vary the block numbers in the third and fourth stages, while keeping the block numbers in the other stages unchanged. Note that the first stage corresponds to the convolutional stem. The studies with MOAT-1 meta architecture are shown in Tab. 16. In the end, we choose the layout $\{ 2 , 2 , 6 , 1 4 , 2 \}$ because it has the best performance and lower parameter cost. Interestingly, our discovery echoes the layer layout proposed by CoAtNet (Dai et al., 2021). We visualize the architecture of MOAT-1 in Fig. 6.

+# THINKSUM: PROBABILISTIC REASONING OVER SETS USING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS
+
+Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review
+
+# ABSTRACT
+
+Large language models (LLMs) have a substantial capacity for high-level analogical reasoning: reproducing patterns in linear text that occur in their training data (zero-shot evaluation) or in the provided context (few-shot in-context learning). However, recent studies show that even the largest LLMs fail in scenarios that require reasoning over multiple objects or facts or making sequences of logical deductions. We propose a two-stage probabilistic inference paradigm, THINKSUM, that reasons over sets of objects or facts in a structured manner. In the first stage (THINK – ‘fast’ retrieval of associations), a LLM is queried in parallel over a set of phrases extracted from the prompt or an auxiliary model call. In the second stage (SUM – ‘slow’ probabilistic inference or reasoning), the results of these queries are aggregated to make the final prediction. We demonstrate the advantages of THINKSUM on the BIG-bench suite of evaluation tasks, achieving improvements over the state of the art using GPT-family models on ten difficult tasks, often with far smaller model variants. We compare and contrast THINKSUM with other proposed modifications to direct prompting of LLMs, such as variants of chain-of-thought prompting. We argue that because the probabilistic inference in THINKSUM is performed outside of calls to the LLM, THINKSUM is less sensitive to prompt design, yields more interpretable predictions, and can be flexibly combined with latent variable models to extract structured knowledge from LLMs.
+
+# 1 INTRODUCTION
+
+Large language models (LLMs) (Brown et al., 2020; Rae et al., 2021; Chowdhery et al., 2022) can recall a broad range of basic facts, recognize and mimic various forms in language, and efficiently extrapolate analogies in structure and meaning. These abilities allow LLMs to excel in zero-shot and few-shot tasks that are formulated as generation or selection of a likely completion of a prompt. This formulation requires LLMs to perform associative fast thinking, in which each token of text in the sequence making up the answer is generated or scored in one pass through the model and, other than that, no intermediate information is created or retained. Fast thinking is made possible by the compression in the LLM weights of information that is repeated in a variety of ways in large training datasets.
+
+However, it is increasingly evident that when reasoning, or slow thinking, is required, failure modes of LLMs are revealed. In our usage, reasoning is sequential manipulation of concepts that can be expressed in language. Tasks that require iterative retrieval of rarely stated knowledge, uncertainties over multiple objects or facts, or multiple steps of deduction are difficult even for the most advanced LLMs. In a recently designed suite of evaluations, BIG-bench (Srivastava et al., 2022), some of the tasks where the gap between machine and human performance is large involve inference sequences with nested counterfactuals (LOGICAL DEDUCTION), concepts introduced though definitions (CONCEPTUAL COMBINATIONS), etc. (see Fig. A.1). These are tasks where a human solver’s intuitive feeling of ‘(in)coherence’ is not sufficient to produce the right answer: the solution is obtained by a sequence of thoughts that can be explained in words and may even require writing down intermediate results if working memory is insufficient.
+
+We show on several examples in BIG-bench that such problems can be addressed by a twocomponent mechanism, which we name THINKSUM:
+
+THINK (fast thinking / association / knowledge retrieval step): creating an association of spans of text with sets of strings. This process may involve generation from a language model, as is the case in Fig. 1, where the novel word ‘binne’ is associated with the set of strings $\{ { \bf \dot { c } a t } ^ { \prime } , { \bf \dot { m i n k } } ^ { \prime } , \ldots \}$
+
+# DIRECT PROMPTING
+
+A binne is any furry four-legged creature, and a bam is a simple dwelling. A binne bam is a place for people $(5 5 \% )$ animals $(44 \% )$ birds $( 0 . 8 7 \% )$ researchers (0.022%)
+
+# CHAIN OF THOUGHT / AUXILIARY KNOWLEDGE
+
+A binne is any furry four-legged creature, and a bam is a simple dwelling.   
+Examples of binnes: cat, mink, ferret, guinea pig, rabbit.   
+Examples of bams: hut, cabin, cottage, shelter, shack.   
+A binne bam is a place for people $(5 7 \% )$ animals $(48 \% )$ birds $( 0 . 7 6 \% )$ researchers $( 0 . 0 1 7 \% )$

+Figure 1: An example adapted from the CONCEPTUAL COMBINATIONS (INVENTED WORDS) task, in which models must select the most likely completion of a phrase that includes nonce words whose definitions are given. Direct prompting evaluates completion likelihoods normalized over the four answer choices (‘people’, ‘animals’, ‘birds’, ‘researchers’). Chain-of-thought-like or auxiliary knowledge approaches would query a LLM or knowledge base for additional context. Our THINKSUM approach to this task queries a LLM (GPT-2 XL) to produce sets of examples defining the nonce words, then marginalizes over substitutions of these examples into the target phrase.
+
+by prompting GPT-3 with the definition and asking for examples. However, it may also consist of scoring alone, in order to form a matrix of probabilities over which probabilistic inference is performed.
+
+SUM (slow thinking / SUMmarization / reasoning step): probabilistic inference that aggregates generated strings or probabilities to produce the final answer. The summarization typically involves, and often entirely consists of, summing of probabilities of strings (computed in the THINK step), as in Fig. 1, where the final word is assumed to be sampled from a mixture of possible substitutions of ‘binne’ and ‘bam’ words into the input.
+
+THINKSUM is named by analogy with other algorithms with two basic operations that ‘expand’ and ‘aggregate’, like MapReduce in distributed computing and sum-product in graphical models.
+
+We discuss different ways to THINK and to SUM in section $\ S 2$ , but we start with one example, illustrated in Fig. 1, motivated by the CONCEPTUAL COMBINATIONS (INVENTED WORDS) task in BIG-bench (Srivastava et al., 2022). In this task, the LLM is provided with two invented words and their definitions in the input. The LLM is then asked to infer the most plausible sentence that uses a combination of the invented words. As the words are invented, they are not common or consistently used in the training set, and the LLM needs to understand and combine the definitions of the invented words to reason about the meaning of the combination. The LLM is queried to produce example instances of the invented words with the help of the definitions. These example instances can be substituted into the query in place of the invented words. In this way, by mapping individual spans of the text of interest to sets we arrive at a mixture model (in this example, a mixture with 25 components, for 5 possible replacements of each of the words), which can be used in the same manner the original LLM is used, either to score text or to generate it token by token. In this case, when we score all candidate completions using this mixture model and normalize over the four choices, the correct answer – that ‘binne bams’ are for animals and not people – becomes most likely.
+
+An important difference between THINKSUM and existing chain-of-thought-like prompt engineering methods (Wei et al., 2022; Kojima et al., 2022), is that the reasoning step is not reduced to a generation problem for the LLM, but is performed as a probabilistic inference external to the LLM. This reduces its vulnerability to features of the prompt, such as accidental distraction of the LLM by spurious patterns. Instead, we engineer the slow thinking process to make parallel calls to the LLM to query for intermediate information, then possibly perform programmatic recombination of strings (THINK). The final reasoning step – in which likelihoods obtained from the LLM for the recombinations derived from earlier steps of the reasoning process are combined to make the final prediction – is left to classical probabilistic reasoning (SUM). In a sense, SUM replaces the self-attention mechanism over linear text, which is used as the sole ‘reasoning’ mechanism in chain-of-thought-like approaches that expect the intermediate ‘thoughts’ to take the form of generated tokens intervening between the input and output. Fig. 1 shows the potential brittleness of such ‘reasoning’, especially in smaller models, which have stronger recency bias (Malkin et al., 2022): if we simply list generated examples as additional context in the prompt, the recency bias causes the LLM to still give higher probability to ‘people’ than to ‘animals’, simply because ‘bam’ (simple dwelling) examples are given after the ‘binne’ examples.
+
+Imposing an alternative reasoning system over an associative “knee-jerk reaction” system has an analogy with models of human cognitive processes (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974; Kahneman, 2011) that separate System 1 (fast thinking) and System 2 (slow thinking). System 2 acts as a ‘controller’ that can prime System 1 to appropriately bias its fast thinking, and, in the context of reasoning with deep learning models, has been interpreted as operating with sparse concepts that can be described in language (Bengio, 2017; Goyal & Bengio, 2020). Through repeated usage, the slow-thinking functions of System 2 can become efficiently compressed into System 1 intuitions, in the same manner that iterative ‘reasoning’ functions of which smaller LLMs are not capable become zeroshot generation capacities for large LLMs.
+
+As is the case with humans, there is always the next frontier of problems where a trained model with remarkable ‘intuition’ needs to be slowed down. The main claim of this paper is that more is possible with LLMs of existing scale when they are used in concert with a wise System 2 controller that allows for probabilistic inference.
+
+# 2 FAST AND SLOW THINKING WITH LLMS
+
+The example in Fig. 1 falls into a general THINKSUM paradigm which extends the reasoning capabilities of a given model by explicitly associating certain text spans with sets of other strings, which may serve as alternatives or elaborations/explanations and can be either defined by the user or inferred by the LLM itself. These associations then provide multiple texts to be evaluated, again by the LLM itself. The collection of resulting probabilities provides an opportunity to summarize the text using standard probabilistic inference techniques, which usually include a summation.
+
+# 2.1 HOW TO THINK
+
+Here we list examples of the “fast thinking” that precedes the summarization stage.
+
+Elementary string manipulations. Standard ways to turn a question into a prompt that can be given to a LLM for generation or scoring involve choices (e.g., of the prompt format) that can be seen as being made by a controlling agent. The standard approach to multiple-choice questions is to write them as Cloze tasks. However, there are nontrivial operations used in inference procedures that sometimes work better, such as:
+
+Order inversion: Exchanging the order of the question and answers, as in Min et al. (2022). Premise erasure: Deleting a part of the question. Removing a premise with which the answer is expected to have high mutual information is a step in inference procedures that aim to correct for bias towards answers with high unconditional likelihood (Zhao et al., 2021; Holtzman et al., 2021; Malkin et al., 2022).
+
+Substitution and normalization. An example is shown in Fig. 1. Elements from a set may be substituted in place of ‘slot’ words in a prompt, such as ‘cat’ substituted for ‘binne’ in the prompt “A binne bam is a place for”. This operation can be combined with syntax-normalization steps that are reliably achieved by standard NLP tools, such as ensuring subject-verb agreement.
+
+Example and list generation. A LLM can be prompted to generate or score lists of words or phrases. We suggest and experiment with three instances of this:
+
+Example generation: In Fig. 1, the LLM is prompted to turn a definition or characterizing property, such as ‘simple dwelling’, into a list of examples. This can be achieved with a prompt such as $\mathrm { ^ { 6 6 } R }$ bam is a simple dwelling. Examples: 1.”. The generated completion can be parsed into a set to be used later in the inference procedure.   
+List extension: A similar approach can also be used to hallucinate additional possible answers to questions, as we will show in some of the experiments.   
+List of words: Similar prompts provide an even simpler THINK method that we use for scoring – but not generation – in several tasks. Just prompting a LLM with “List of words: ??,
+
+$B ^ { \ast }$ , where $A$ and $B$ are words or phrases, and computing the likelihood of $B$ conditioned on “List of words: $A$ ,” is a good measure of semantic relatedness of $A$ and $B$ .
+
+Fact generation. This way of THINKing associates an input word with a set of phrases, in a similar manner to generating examples from a definition. It can be achieved with prompts such as “List facts about cats. 1.” The generated facts are good targets for substitutions of other concepts (‘dogs’, ‘galaxies’) in place of the concept (‘cats’) about which facts are generated. A variation on this asks the LLM to generate differences between two concepts, as shown in Fig. 2 (right).
+
+Translation. The LLM can be prompted to convert between different forms of representing the same concept as a sequence of tokens. We use two basic examples of this in experiments:
+
+• Translation between languages by prompting the LLM in formats such as “French: ${ \boldsymbol { \ J } } ^ { \prime }$ adore les chats noirs. English:”. A very similar approach can be used to convert non-alphabetic symbols, such as emoji, into words with a similar meaning. • Converting text to formal (symbolic) structures, like turning a word problem into a collection of mathematical equations.
+
+# 2.2 HOW TO SUM
+
+Elementary inference. As above, we begin by listing existing standard ways of turning LLM outputs into answers, which we see as trivial cases of aggregation (SUM).
+
+• Posterior computation by normalizing probabilities over a set.   
+• Majority/minority vote (argmin/argmax): a component of most answer selection procedures.   
+• Thresholding: Used when an answer depends on the value of a probability (or a difference or ratio of probabilities). This can be used when a discrete answer needs to be produced from a real-valued output likelihoods. Ratio of likelihoods: Likelihoods from different variants of the same prompt can be combined by considering their ratio or more general log-linear or other mixture. For example, this can be done to correct the likelihood of an answer conditioned on a question by its unconditional likelihood, in combination with the Premise erasure operation described above.
+
+Mixture (average) aggregation. A collection of prompts can be treated as the components of a mixture model over completions. An example is shown in Fig. 1, where substitutions of a set of words yield 25 different prompts. Likelihoods of the completion over these 25 prompts are averaged.
+
+Product aggregation. We use products of likelihoods in two different ways:
+
+• In a similar way as mixtures, but when the more natural probabilistic model has all elements of a set (of prompts) generating the answer, such as when a description or definition must be satisfied by all concepts in a set.   
+• In a task where we are to determine whether a statement $s$ or its negation $S ^ { \prime }$ is true, we can compute the likelihood of both ?? and $S ^ { \prime }$ being true (as posterior over the tokens ‘True’ and ‘False’ in an appropriate prompt), then compare $p ( \bar { \mathrm { T r u e } } | S ) \bar { p ( \mathrm { F a 1 } } s \mathrm { e } | S ^ { \prime } )$ ( $s$ is true and $S ^ { \prime }$ is false) with $p ( \mathtt { F a l s e } | S ) p ( \mathtt { T r u e } | S ^ { \prime } )$ ( $\boldsymbol { S }$ is false and $S ^ { \prime }$ is true).
+
+Fitting latent variable models. See $\ S C$ for an example of fitting a discrete latent variable (clustering) model over the likelihoods produced by a LLM.
+
+# 3 EXPERIMENTS
+
+We compare THINKSUM with the published results for $n$ -shot GPT-3 175B (davinci) in BIG-bench, where $\bar { n ^ { \cdot } } \in \{ 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 \}$ . Our main results are shown in Table 1. Below, we describe THINKSUM for each task. Detailed descriptions are in $\ S _ { \mathbf { B } }$ , and examples of each task appear in Table D.1.
+
+3.1 SEMANTIC RELATEDNESS
+
+# 3.1.1 INTRODUCTORY EXAMPLES: PHRASE RELATEDNESS AND CODENAMES
+
+Phrase relatedness. Each question in the multiple-choice PHRASE RELATEDNESS task requires to determine which of a given set of words or phrases $\left\{ w _ { i } \right\}$ is related to a query phrase $q$ . We query the LLM for the likelihood of $q$ following a List of words prompt to form a vector of likelihoods:
+
+The answer selected is the one with highest likelihood, arg $\operatorname* { m a x } _ { i } p _ { i }$ (a trivial SUM operation). We note that this is also an instance of Order inversion: the query is scored following a prompt in which each of the candidate answers is substituted.

+
+Codenames. Each question in CODENAMES requires selecting the $k$ words from a set $\left\{ w _ { i } \right\}$ that are most closely related to a query word $q$ . We form a vector $p _ { i }$ in the same way as for PHRASE RELATEDNESS, then select the top $k$ entries in $p _ { i }$ to produce the output.1
+
+# 3.1.2 ODD ONE OUT
+
+We examine possible THINK and SUM approaches in greater depth on the ODD ONE OUT task, in which the word in a set $W = \{ w _ { i } \}$ that is least semantically related to the others must be chosen.
+
+List of words. We first consider an approach similar to that used in $\ S 3 . 1 . 1$ . We form a matrix $P _ { i j }$ using a List of words THINK prompt for each pair of indices $i , j$ :
+
+$$
+P _ { i j } = p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( w _ { j } \mid \mathrm { ^ { * _ { L i } } s t ~ o f ~ w o r d s : } \quad w _ { i } , \mathrm { ^ { * _ { \rangle } } ) . }
+$$
+
+This matrix is aggregated by averaging over $j$ (in log domain) and selecting the $i$ with lowest average, i.e., least likelihood of being generated by a product mixture of all words in the set: $i = \mathrm { a r g } \operatorname* { m i n } _ { i } \prod _ { j } P _ { i j }$ . This is a case of the Product aggregation operation.
+
+Because this approach is the most successful with all model sizes we experimented with, its performance is reported in Table 1. Remarkably, near-average-human accuracy is maintained for all model sizes from GPT-2 Small to the largest GPT-3 model (Fig. 2 (left)).
+
+Fact generation. As an alternative approach, we use a Fact generation prompt. An effective way to mine facts for semantic relatedness tasks is to consider two items in the same context in order to get relevant facts regarding how items are related to each other (prompt in Fig. 2 (right)). The demonstration used in the prompt ensures that the LLM generates statements in an expected format, which can be parsed and used for probability computation later. Using this prompt, we obtain a collection of statements $S \ = \ \{ s _ { i } \}$ about items $w _ { j }$ . We treat each generated $s _ { i }$ as a template into which different words $w$ can be substituted and denote by $s _ { i } \langle { \boldsymbol w } \rangle$ the Substitution of word $w$ into template $s _ { i }$ . We then form a $| S | \times | W |$ matrix $P _ { i j }$ , defined by $P _ { i j } = p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( s _ { i } \langle w _ { j } \rangle )$ . Then, we can perform Minority voting: we take argmin over $j$ and pick as the answer the most frequently occurring value, i.e., the item that is most often the least likely to fit a generated statement.
+
+Comparison with auxiliary knowledge approaches. We compare our method with a knowledgebased prompting method, herein referred to as auxiliary knowledge. In auxiliary knowledge, we prepend generated facts in the prompt before the question. Details of the prompt for auxiliary knowledge are provided in $\ S _ { \mathrm { D } . \bar { 2 } }$ . In Figure 2 (middle), we show that the accuracy of Fact generation-based THINKSUM rises as the number of generated facts is increased, while the auxiliary knowledge technique peaks and then degrades as the prompt lengthens.
+
+Fig. 2 (left) shows how performance varies with the size of the LLM used for GPT-3, auxiliary knowledge and THINKSUM on ODD ONE OUT. Even with GPT-2 Small, THINKSUM dramatically improves over much larger largest zero- or few-shot models with or without auxiliary knowledge. The latest iteration of the largest GPT-3 model, text-davinci-002, is the only model variant that, with the help of auxiliary knowledge, achieves competitive performance with THINKSUM. This result provides experimental evidence for our claim that while new models may create qualitative jumps, THINKSUM can push the performance limits of smaller model variants through slow thinking. Additional experiments on auxiliary knowledge are provided in $\ S C$ .
+
+# 3.2 SUBSTITUTION AND AGGREGATION
+
+# 3.2.1 NOVEL CONCEPTS
+
+In the multiple-choice NOVEL CONCEPTS task, a set of words or phrases $W = \{ w _ { i } \}$ and a set of statements $\bar { S } \ = \ \{ s _ { j } \}$ with third-person plural pronoun subjects (‘They all...’) are given, and the statement which is true for all items in $W$ must be determined.
+
+We treat each statement $s _ { j }$ as a template, into which words $w$ can be substituted by replacing ‘They all’ with $w$ . Denoting by $s _ { j } \langle \boldsymbol { w } \rangle$ the substitution of $w$ into $s _ { j }$ , we form a $| W | \times | S |$ matrix $P _ { i j }$ by scoring the Substitution of each word into each statement and considering the Ratio of likelihoods with the template without substitution: $\begin{array} { r } { P _ { i j } = \frac { p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( s _ { j } \langle w _ { i } \rangle ) } { p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( s _ { j } ) } } \end{array}$ .We then perform Product aggregation to select the statement which is most likely to be generated by all words in the set. To be precise, the selected statement is arg $\begin{array} { r } { \operatorname* { m a x } _ { j } \prod _ { i } P _ { i j } } \end{array}$ .
+
+# 3.2.2 INVENTED WORDS
+
+In INVENTED WORDS, two nonce words $x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 }$ are defined and the correct statement must be chosen out of a set of statements $S = \{ s _ { j } \}$ that begin with (possibly inflected forms of) $^ { \ast } x _ { 1 } \ x _ { 2 } ^ { \mathbf { \lessgtr } }$ (Fig. 1).
+
+We use an Example generation prompt to obtain a set of example words fitting the definitions of $x _ { 1 }$ and $x _ { 2 }$ . We thus obtain sets $S _ { 1 }$ and $S _ { 2 }$ of words that can be substituted for $x _ { 1 }$ and $x _ { 2 }$ , respectively.
+
+We treat each statement $s _ { j }$ as a template into which words $w _ { 1 } \in S _ { 1 }$ and $w _ { 2 } \in S _ { 2 }$ can be substituted by replacing $x _ { i }$ with $w _ { i }$ and normalizing the syntax to ensure subject-verb agreement. Denoting by $s _ { j } \langle w _ { 1 } , w _ { 2 } \rangle$ such a substitution, we form a vector of probabilities $p _ { j }$ by scoring the Substitution of each possible pair of words into each statement and performing Mixture aggregation and considering the Ratio of likelihoods with the template without substitution:

+
+# 3.3 UNCERTAINTY AND HALLUCINATION DETECTION
+
+LLMs are prone to generating hallucinations that contain incorrect statements. The likelihoods of these statements are often dominated by short plausible patterns, which also makes it difficult for LLMs to evaluate their own uncertainty about a fact. Thus, detection (Liu et al., 2021; Zhou et al., 2021) and reduction of such hallucinations is crucial for widespread use of LLMs in real applications. (Dziri et al., 2021; Shuster et al., 2021).
+
+# 3.3.1 SPORTS UNDERSTANDING
+
+Questions in SPORTS UNDERSTANDING ask to determine whether it is ‘plausible’ or ‘implausible’ that a professional sports player $x$ (e.g., ‘Draymond Green’, a basketball player) performed an action ?? associated with a sport (e.g., ‘threw a touchdown’, an action in American football). It is implied that the combination of $x$ and $a$ is plausible if the sport with which player $x$ is associated coincides with the sport in which action $a$ is performed. We consider an approach that does not rely on identifying the latent variable (sport) as an intermediate step and is thus more generalizable to other domains.
+
+We use an Example generation THINK prompt to produce a set $s$ of players who perform action $a$ , then do Posterior computation by normalizing the likelihood assigned by the LLM to each player in $s$ , as well as $x$ , performing action $a$ :
+
+$$
+\forall y \in S \cup \{ x \} \quad p ( y | a ) = \frac { p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( ^ { \infty } y a ^ { \prime \prime } ) } { \sum _ { \substack { \mathbf { y } ^ { \prime } \in S \cup \{ x \} } } p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( ^ { \infty } y ^ { \prime } a ^ { \prime \prime } ) }
+$$
+
+The statement is considered to be implausible if the posterior on $x$ is sufficiently low (Thresholding) – see Fig. 3.
+
+# 3.3.2 KNOWN UNKNOWNS
+
+Questions in the KNOWN UNKNOWNS task ask to determine whether the answer to a question is a certain precise concept or ‘unknown’.
+
+Given a question $q$ (e.g., “What was the temperature in Cuzco on the day of the Emperor Vespasian’s birth”) and the candidate precise answer $a$ (e.g., $2 5 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ ), we use a List extension prompt to generate a set $s$ of other possible answers to $q$ . We then do a Posterior computation over $s$ and the original answer $a$ , similar to that used for SPORTS UNDERSTANDING:
+

+Figure 3: Example posterior probabilities generated from textdavinci-002 for SPORTS UNDERSTANDING with the description “threw a touchdown”. The basketball player given in the question Draymond Green has a much lower posterior probability than the generated football players, from which we conclude the sentence “Draymond Green threw a touchdown.” is implausible.
+
+$$
+\forall y \in S \cup \{ a \} \quad p ( y | q ) = \frac { p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( \mathit { \Omega } ^ { \ast } q ? \quad y ^ { \prime \prime } ) } { \sum _ { \mathbf { y } ^ { \prime } \in S \cup \{ a \} } p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( \mathit { \Omega } ^ { \ast } q ? \quad y ^ { \prime \prime \prime } ) } .
+$$
+
+The answer $a$ is chosen if the posterior on $a$ is sufficiently high (Thresholding), and otherwise ‘unknown’ is chosen.
+
+# 3.4 TRANSLATION
+
+# 3.4.1 TRANSLATING BETWEEN LANGUAGES AND WRITING SYSTEMS
+
+Russian misconceptions. In the MISCONCEPTIONS RUSSIAN task, the true statement must be chosen out of a pair of Russian sentences: a statement $s$ and its negation $t$ .
+
+We first describe an approach that does not use translation and already performs better than random guessing – and better than baseline methods that simply select the more likely of the two statements – using the largest GPT-3 model, which has sufficient knowledge of Russian. We compute the posterior over the two hypotheses $^ { 6 6 } s$ is true, $t$ is false” and $\dot { } s$ is false, $t$ is true”:
+
+where $\mathrm { T }$ denotes True and F False in the actual prompt. This is a kind of Product aggregation.   
+If the posterior on the first option is higher, $s$ is chosen as the true statement; otherwise, $t$ is chosen.
+
+This approach can be combined with a Translation prompt that produces translations of $s$ and $t$ into English, then uses these translations in place of $s$ and $t$ in the above computations. The approach can be further extended by sampling a set of translations and performing Mixture aggregation over the translations. Our reported result uses 10 generated translation for each statement, but it is only $2 \%$ higher than the result using one generated translation.
+
+Emoji movie. The multiple-choice EMOJI MOVIE task requires selecting the name of a movie from a list $\left\{ m _ { i } \right\}$ that is best described by a sequence of emoji symbols $s = ( s _ { 1 } \ldots s _ { n } ) \quad$ . An Order inversion prompt performs best on this task using the Davinci variant of GPT-3: choosing the answer arg max ??LLM(?? | “Emoji describing the movie $m _ { i } { } ^ { \dag }$ ) . ??
+
+We also attempt to use a Translation prompt to obtain a single-word English description $w _ { j }$ of each emoji $s _ { j }$ in $s$ , then score using
+
+arg max $p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( w _ { 1 } \dots w _ { n } \ |$ | “Words describing the movie $m _ { i } { } ^ { \dag } )$ . ??
+

+Figure 4: Details for LOGICAL DEDUCTION. (a) Example question from the task, (b) demonstration for the THINK prompt, (c) example LLM output.
+
+This approach performs slightly better than Order inversion alone using InstructGPT. However, it does not work with the base GPT-3 models, which do not as reliably translate emoji to English.
+
+# 3.4.2 LOGICAL DEDUCTION
+
+In the LOGICAL DEDUCTION task, different types of items and clues regarding their placement are provided, as shown in Fig. 4(a). The goal is to select the correct statement from a set of statements about their placements. The task creators emphasize that this requires parsing information about multiple objects and their relationships, understanding rules regarding ordered objects in various scenarios, and iteratively applying of these rules. The LLM calls in the THINK stage of THINKSUM can perform mappings required to parse information and understand rules, and the SUM stage can integrate mappings of objects to the placements under these rules. Here, we can use a Translation prompt to map the given problem into a set of mathematical (in)equalities (Fig. 4(c)).
+
+A Translation prompt as in Fig. 4(b) containing generic ordering statements and object names that are not used in the task is sufficient to perform the translation from natural language to mathematical equations, as shown in Fig. 4. To solve the problem, we replace the problem statement with its translation $T$ consisting of (in)equalities, and map each of the objects to the set of strings corresponding to numbers from 1 to $N$ , where $N$ is the number of objects. This is accomplished by appending a given problem to the fixed prompt in Fig. 4(b), which acts as a demonstration for one-shot in-context learning. The ordering problems involve a variety of types of objects (cars, birds, etc.) and types of orderings (by size, price, contest ranking, etc.). For a particular problem in Fig. 4(a), we show the returned text from InstructGPT in Fig. 4(c), showing that the demonstration used in the THINK prompt generalizes from objects ordered by size to books ordered by position.
+
+Once a translation of the problem into a set of inequalities is obtained, the SUM stage considers all possible mappings of items to indices to determine the mapping compatible with the discovered set of (in)equalities. This can be done by an external algorithm or with the LLM itself, as an LLM may be capable of understanding that, for example, $ { \mathbf { \tilde { \Sigma } } } ^ { 6 6 } 2  { > } 3  { \mathbf { \ w } } ^ { 3 }$ is a less likely string than $^ { \bullet 6 } 2 { > } 1 ^ { \bullet }$ (see Fig. B.1).
+
+The probability of a target statement like “yellow book $^ { - 2 }$ ” can thus be obtained by:
+
+$$
+p \left( ^ { \mathfrak { \alpha } } \mathfrak { y } e l l o w \ : b o o k { = } 2 ^ { , \prime \prime } \mid T \right) \propto \sum _ { \mathfrak { b } \in \{ 1 , \dots , N \} ^ { N } } p _ { \mathrm { L L M } } ( \{ T _ { t } \langle \mathfrak { b } \rangle : T _ { t } \in T \} \cup \{ ^ { \mathfrak { \alpha } } \mathfrak { y } e l l o w \ : b o o k { = } 2 ^ { , \prime \prime } \langle \mathfrak { b } \rangle \} )
+$$
+
+where b denotes the vector of placements for the $N$ items, $T = \{ T _ { t } \} _ { t = 1 } ^ { N }$ is obtained from the Translation prompt as a set of strings, and $s \langle \mathbf { b } \rangle$ denotes the substitution of the corresponding entry in $\mathbf { b }$ in place of the object name in the string $s$ . The term inside the sum is a case of Product aggregation: the LLM likelihoods of all strings in the set are multiplied together.
+
+In summary, our solution to this task involves composition of two THINK operations – a Translation into a set of equations and then Substitution of numbers in place of item names – and two
+
+SUM operations – a Product aggregation followed by a Mixture aggregation. (Other options are discussed in $\ S { \mathrm { C } } .$ )
+
+Results and discussion. For the 500 LOGICAL DEDUCTION problems with $N \ = \ 5$ objects, THINKSUM yields an accuracy rate of $7 7 \%$ (see Table 1), besting the average human performance. When the necessary summations become large, it becomes very unlikely that pure prompt engineering can be competitive, as even humans need paper and pencil to create and attend to many alternative solutions, and would likely translate the premises into a simpler notation using a single letter (representing a variable to which a numeric value can be assigned) to represent each object, rather than directly attending to facts in the problem statement.
+
+We also tested an auxiliary knowledge method akin to chain-of-thought reasoning, where the information obtained with the prompt in Fig. 4 is appended to the LLM input. In particular, the problem, together with its translation into inequalities, is used as a prompt to each of the answer options, and then the option with the highest likelihood is chosen for the answer. This approach does improve over straightforward zero-shot GPT-3 scoring, but only raises the accuracy to $5 0 \%$ (see Table B.1).
+
+# 4 RELATED WORK
+
+Improvements to LLM inference. After the discovery of the in-context learning abilities of LLMs, there has been an explosion of interest in improving inference with LLMs in the zero-shot and few-shot setting Brown et al. (2020); Chowdhery et al. (2022); Rae et al. (2021). One approach to improving the reasoning abilities of LLMs involves appending, or learning to generate, auxiliary knowledge within the prompt (Shwartz et al., 2020; Zelikman et al., 2022; Nye et al., 2021a). Recently, more general auxiliary knowledge or chain-of-thought prompting methods have been proposed (Wei et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022b; Zhou et al., 2022; Creswell et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022a; Liu et al., 2022b). Later, Kojima et al. (2022) showed zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting can improve performance on a variety of reasoning tasks. This method does not require any handcrafted few-shot examples, which is a shared property with THINKSUM. (Nye et al., 2021b) observed that a dual-system approach where an associative “System 1” and a logical “System $2 ^ { \circ }$ can increase coherence of LLMs in tasks such as robust story generation and grounded instruction following. The two-step paradigm in THINKSUM is similar, where “System 1” is the (querying of the LLM for) fast thinking, and “System $2 ^ { \circ }$ is the probabilistic inference step.
+
+Brittleness of chain-of-thought prompting. Despite the recent success of chain-of-thought approaches, recent studies have raised concerns regarding the limitations of chain-of-thought approaches. Webson & Pavlick (2022) observed that instructive prompts perform similarly with misleading or intentionally irrelevant prompts. Additionally, Ye & Durrett (2022) showed improvements due to few-shot chain-of-thought are not observed in question answering, or natural language inference. More critically, few-shot prompts are highly sensitive to the order in which the samples are provided, the prompt format, and the selection of in-context examples, (Lu et al., 2022; Zhao et al., 2021). Thus, it is crucial to design techniques that are robust to such changes in the prompt.
+
+Probabilistic inference. More recent approaches have proposed probabilistic inference approaches for tackling true/false question answering and commonsense question answering (Jung et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2022a). Xie et al. (2021) presents a Bayesian inference perspective on incontext learning, and Dohan et al. (2022) formalizes and unifies existing prompting techniques in a probabilistic framework. Our work generalizes such approaches to perform arbitrary probabilistic inference outside of the LLM.
+
+# 5 CONCLUSION
+
+In this paper we presented THINKSUM, a two-step probabilistic inference paradigm that reasons over sets in a structured manner. The fast thinking stage of THINKSUM allows elementary string manipulations as well as natural language prompting, which may enable numerous approaches to solve a natural language task. Even with far smaller model variants, THINKSUM achieves state-ofthe-art results on ten difficult tasks in BIG-bench using GPT-family models. The two-step paradigm allows operating over sets instead of manipulating the prompt itself, preventing sensitivity to prompt format during the probabilistic inference in THINKSUM, which is performed outside of calls to the LLM. As a result, THINKSUM is more robust to prompt design, yields more interpretable predictions, and can be combined with many probabilistic inference approaches to tackle a diverse set of tasks.

+# A BIG-BENCH LITE
+
+Figure A.1 shows the performance margin between an average human and zero-shot GPT-3 on tasks in BIG-bench Lite, a select subset of tasks chosen by the authors of the benchmark to showcase the most important aspects of LLMs that need improvement. The vertical black bar separates the dataset into tasks where GPT-3 is already within the margin of just $10 \%$ compared to the average human accuracy, and the harder tasks (on the left). We show in the main text that some of these harder tasks, in particular EMOJI MOVIE, CONCEPTUAL COMBINATIONS,KNOWN UNKNOWNS, NOVEL CONCEPTS, MISCONCEPTIONS RUSSIAN and LOGICAL DEDUCTION, the margins are shrunk considerably, often exceeding average human performance. Other tasks in BIG-bench lite such as LOGIC GRID PUZZLE and SYMBOL INTERPRETATION share a similar structure to the addressed by THINKSUM, and thus could be investigated as part of future work. Another example where THINKSUM can be applied is the CODE LINE DESCRIPTION task, where we observe in our preliminary experiments that a simple order inversion can significantly outperform average human accuracy.

+# B ADDITIONAL TASK DESCRIPTIONS
+
+# B.1 SEMANTIC RELATEDNESS
+
+Phrase relatedness. In this task, an input phrase, and four target phrases are presented to the language model. The language model is asked to identify the most related choice from the listed target options. An example from the task is “For each word or phrase, identify the most related choice from the listed options. $\backslash n$ Input: home town $\backslash n$ Option: town center $\backslash n$ Option: location $\backslash n$ Option: native city $\backslash n$ Option: home run”
+
+Codenames. In this task, the language model is asked to identify words associated with a given word. An example from the task is “Try to identify the 2 words best associated with the word WHITE from the following list: $\backslash n$ book, anchor, rainbow, shoulder, tunnel, sack, drum, pacific, page, mark, gear, glacier. Give your answer in alphabetical order.”
+
+Odd one out. This task is aimed at evaluating the capability of LLMs in semantic relatedness. This task presents the model with four to six words, where all words except one word are semantically or grammatically related to each other. The goal for the language model is to identify the odd word. An example question from the task is “Pick the odd word out: glass, head, arm, leg, hand, foot”.
+
+# B.2 HALLUCINATION DETECTION
+
+Known unknowns. In this task, the aim is to measure the ability of LLMs to identify whether the answer to a question is known, or unknown. If the answer to the question cannot be known, an imaginary answer is generated, and the model is asked to choose between the imaginary answer and the word “Unknown”. If the question has a correct answer, the correct answer and “Unknown” are provided as options. An example question from this task is “How often did Abraham Lincoln cut his toenails?”, and the options are “Every Saturday night”,“Unknown”. Similar to the sports understanding task, we can use an LLM to generate other plausible answers with the following prompt: How often did Abraham Lincoln cut his toenails? A possible answer is: $\backslash n \ I$ . Every Saturday night. List 4 other possible answers in the same format as the first: $\setminus n 2$ . Then, the answer given in the question is predicted to be “known” if its posterior is higher by the second most likely option by some margin. In our experiments, we chose this value to be $1 / N _ { e }$ where $N _ { e }$ is the number of examples, including the original option.
+
+Sports understanding. In this task, artificial sentences are constructed using the name of professional sports players and actions from particular sports. The model is then asked to identify whether the sentence is plausible, where a sentence is considered plausible if the sport of the player matches the sport of the action described in the sentence. An example from the task is “Statement: Draymond Green threw a touchdown. Plausible/implausible?”

+Figure B.1: Probabilities of different (in)equalities according to GPT-3 text-davinci-002 (logit).
+
+For THINKSUM to be able to parse outputs, GPT-3 generations need to be in a pre-determined format. While larger models can obey a format without demonstrations, for smaller models it is helpful to demonstrate the format with an example. Thus, we use the following prompt: “List 4 examples of players who scored a rabona goal. $\backslash n I$ . Cristiano Ronaldo\n 2. Erik Lamela\n 3. Mario Balotell $\backslash n$ 4. Angel Di Maria\n List 4 examples of players who threw a touchdown.\n1.”.
+
+# B.3 CONCEPT UNDERSTANDING
+
+In the following tasks, the shared goal is to test the ability of LLMs on concepts over entities that have likely not been observed during training.
+
+Conceptual combinations: Invented words. In this task, the LLM is provided with two invented words, and their definitions in the input. The LLM is then asked to infer the most plausible meaning resulting from the combination of the invented words. As the words are invented, they are not present in the training set, and the LLM needs to understand and combine the definitions of the invented words to reason about the meaning of the combination. An example is: “The word ’binne’ means any animal that is furry and has four legs, and the word ’bam’ means a simple sort of dwelling. Question: Which of the following sentences best characterizes binne bams?”. Similar to SPORTS UNDERSTANDING, we can use the following prompt to force the LLM to obey a fixed format: “List synonyms of binne, separate synonyms by comma:”
+
+Novel concepts. In this task, the LLM is presented with two to four disparate entities that typically would not co-occur frequently, but share an underlying conceptual or linguistic concept. The aim is to test the ability of the LLM to reason about entities that are unlikely to have been observed in the same context during training. In a multiple-choice setting, the LLM is given concepts relating to the entities, and is asked to generate the intended concepts against carefully chosen tempting distractors. The choices are not presented in the prompt. An example question from the task is as follows: “What do the following have in common? 1) bumble bees 2) 01010101 3) race cars”, and the answer options are They all make noise, “They all are yellow, They all are binary, They all go fast, They all have stripes”.
+
+# B.4 TRANSLATION
+
+Emoji Movie. In this task, the LLM is presented with emojis that describe the plot of a movie, and the model is asked to guess the correct movie from the given options. The task evaluates the LLMs understanding of emojis, and its knowledge of popular movies. An example from the task is “What movie does this emoji describe? {lying-face-emoji} \n, pinocchio $\backslash n$ heat $\backslash n$ the big sleep, $\backslash n$ inception \n lilo & stitch

+
+Misconceptions Russian. In this task, the LLM is presented with sentences in Russian that contain misconceptions, and their true counterparts. The task evaluates if the LLM believes common misconceptions. One example of a target pair from the task, translated to English is as follows: “Vaccines do not cause autism. $\backslash n$ Vaccines cause autism.”

+# C ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENTS
+
+THINKSUM vs. auxiliary knowledge. Table B.1 shows the comparison between auxiliary knowledge and THINKSUM. All methods used text-davinci-002. For PHRASE RELATEDNESS, auxiliary knowledge was generated using the “list differences” prompt shown in Figure 2 (right). For both auxiliary knowledge and THINKSUM, 6 number of differences were used, as that was the best for auxiliary knowledge, shown in Figure 2 (middle). THINKSUM ODD ONE OUT and PHRASE RELATEDNESS are solved with the list of words prompt. For LOGICAL DEDUCTION, the THINK prompt shown in Fig4 was included before the question in the prompt. In all cases, THINKSUM outperforms auxiliary knowledge.
+
+Latent variable models for ODD ONE OUT. While the detection of the odd item can be performed with simple operations, it is also possible to assume that there is a latent structure consisting of two or more clusters such that the facts and items belonging to a cluster can be freely interchanged keeping probability of such combination high. While there are simpler alternative solutions to this task, the latent variable model enables selecting the facts that characterize the majority class, explaining why the minority item is ruled as the odd one out. Thus, expanding on the problem and applying a latent variable model can help interpret the decisions of the system.
+
+More formally, since $I$ includes items that are semantically related, and the odd, we can model $i \in I$ and $f \in F$ to be generated from a latent class $c \in \{ 0 , 1 \}$ . Then, the conditional distribution can be modeled as:
+
+$$
+P ( i , f | c ) = P ( i | c ) P ( f | c ) \quad P ( i , f ) = \sum _ { c } P ( i , f | c )
+$$
+
+The semantic components, groupings $P ( i | c )$ and $P ( f | c )$ can be computed from the matrix using expectation-maximization (EM; Dempster et al., 1977). Then, the score for an item $i$ belonging to a cluster and all other items $m \in \mathcal { S } , \mathsf { \bar { \{ m \neq \ i \} } }$ belonging to another cluster can be found as $S _ { i } =$ $\begin{array} { r } { \sum _ { c , c ^ { \prime } \ne c } P ( i | c ) P ( c ) \prod _ { m \ne i } P ( m | c ^ { \prime } ) P ( c ^ { \prime } ) } \end{array}$ .
+
+We show the effectiveness of the latent variable models in Table C.1, where we analyze different methods for solving ODD ONE OUT using the InstructGPT variants text-davinci-001 and textdavinci-002. For the “latent variable model” and “minority voting” methods, we use number of differences $N _ { d } = 5$ . The latent variable model is run for 200 iterations. All probabilistic reasoning methods perform well, outperforming previous baselines reported in Table 1. Each of these approaches can be applicable in other tasks of similar structure to ODD ONE OUT.
+
+Using GPT-3 or external algorithms to evaluate inequalities in LOGICAL DEDUCTION. Fig. B.1 shows the matrix of posterior probabilities evaluated using InstructGPT (text-davinci-002) for strings of form $\mathrm { \Delta \cdot \vec { y } = \vec { y } \vec { \tau } }$ , “x<y”, $\mathrm { ^ { 6 6 } X > y ^ { , 9 } }$ for $x , y \in \{ 1 , . . , 9 \}$ . The probabilities are computed using prompts of the form “True or false: $x { < } y .$ ? The answer is:” where $x$ and $y$ are substituted with numbers from $\{ 1 , . . , 9 \}$ , and normalizing the probability of the first token over the two options “true” and “false”. These are the probabilities that statements $T _ { t }$ would evaluate in (1).
+
+Given the capability of InstructGPT to both translate given logical deduction problems into (in)equalities (Fig. 4) and to evaluate each of them after replacement of items with placement numbers (Fig. B.1), we conclude that it is perfectly within its capabilities to parse and understand the problem, and the SUM stage is there simply to go over all possible mappings, the way a human might. But, just as a human might use shortcuts in the search, the SUM stage of THINKSUM could be implemented in more or less efficient ways. For example, instead of summing over all possible assignments of the five items, we can avoid the ones that are not permutations of $\bar { \{ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , \bar { 5 } \} }$ . Furthermore, instead of using $p _ { \mathrm { L L M } }$ from Fig. B.1, we can simply evaluate each inequality externally, giving a high constant probability for each statement in $T$ and the target statement where a configuration of item placements makes the statement correct and low constant probability whenever the statement is incorrect. Whichever evaluation mechanism we use, the summing can be aborted whenever an incorrect statement is detected (typically there are four (in)equalities that describe the problem, and one equality statement that describe the option to be evaluated; we want to find a configuration of item placements such that all of these are correct, or have high probability under ??LLM.
+
+The prompt in Fig. 4(b) instructs the LLM to assign positive or negative ordinal numbers depending on the language used (the smallest object gets placement 1, while the second largest one gets $^ { - 2 }$ , meaning ‘second from the end’). A negative order number $r$ is then turned in our code into $N + r + 1$ before evaluating statements. Sometimes, LLM does not follow this instruction, but simply labels the largest, right-most, most expensive, etc. as $N$ , instead of $^ { - 1 }$ , which is equivalent. One possible failure mode of this kind of THINKSUM is that the LLM may translate inequality statements inconsistently with equality statements (e.g., by treating the leftmost item as “1”, and being consistent with this choice for other equality constraints, but translating inequality constraints consistent with the reverse order, with ‘left of’ meaning $>$ ). This can be dealt with by adding an option to replace placement numbers $r$ in equality statements by $N - r + 1$ . This doubles the number of evaluations to be done (as each $T$ now has two versions), but allows for an auto-correction in SUM.
+
+# C.1 COMPARISONS WITH CHAIN-OF-THOUGHT APPROACHES
+
+Following Wei et al. (2022), we use “chain-of-thought” to mean LLM scoring approaches that use insertion of generated tokens between the prompt and the target answer. The model is taught, using few-shot demonstrations, how to generate these intermediate tokens. Above we have compared THINKSUM with approaches that add extracted (from an auxiliary LM call), not generated (within the LM’s linear workspace) token sequences after the prompt, for the ODD ONE OUT, PHRASE RELATEDNESS, and LOGICAL DEDUCTION tasks (see Table B.1).
+
+With suitable examples, it may be possible for a chain-of-thought approach to replace the THINK phase, by learning from demonstrations to generate the appropriate knowledge, and parts of the SUM phase, although inference over parallel evaluations of the LLM is no longer possible. Our auxiliary knowledge baselines make precisely that generous assumption and focus the comparisons on the need for parallel calls and reasoning over possibilities using probabilistic inference (instead of leaving it to the LLM to make the right conclusions from the list of extracted alternatives).
+
+Although we expect that appending facts in a standard format to the prompt would help the model more than teaching the model to generate these facts, we experimented with chain-of-thought approaches on several tasks. Table C.3 shows example demonstrations and prompt formats used for each task, and Table C.2 shows the results using two variants of the largest GPT-3 model.
+
+Table C.2: Comparison of THINKSUM with chain-of-thought prompting approaches.

+
+As expected, THINKSUM outperforms chain-of-thought prompting on all tasks with all variants except KNOWN UNKNOWNS with the davinci variant, where direct prompting already performs well. (We did not evaluate THINKSUM with davinci on LOGICAL DEDUCTION because prompts like the one in Figure 4 did not reliably produce outputs in the correct format; notice that chain-of-thought is barely better than random guessing $( 2 0 \% )$ .)

+
+When interpreting these results, it is important to note that only one prompt format was evaluated for both chain of thought and THINKSUM, and the format of prompts and demonstrations can have a strong and often unpredictable effect on the LLM. We observed that chain-of-thought approaches are highly sensitive to minor changes in the prompt format or the construction of in-context examples, consistent with the known biases of in-context learning when a potentially lengthy prompt is evaluated (Lu et al., 2022; Zhao et al., 2021). On the other hand, using structured, shorter components is more reliable, as demonstrated by the efficacy of the THINK prompts used in THINKSUM.

+# D ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
+
+Our experiments are performed using four different sizes of GPT-2 (Small, Medium, Large, and XL) (Radford et al., 2019), GPT-3 with four different model sizes (ada,babbage,curie,davinci) (Brown et al., 2020), and InstructGPT (Ouyang et al., 2022). All GPT-3 experiments are run between August 2022 and September 2022 by using the OpenAI API. Our GPT-2 experiments were run in PyTorch (Paszke et al., 2019) and the Hugging Face Transformers library with a Tesla K80 GPU.

+
+# D.2 KNOWLEDGE GENERATION DETAILS
+
+Post-processing. In our knowledge generation experiments for both THINKSUM and the auxiliary knowledge approach, we post-process the generated knowledge statements, to ensure formatting does not harm the predictions of each method. We first remove the extra spaces and the numbers and punctuation generated by the LLM before each fact while enumerating the items of the list. Later, we only keep sentences that contain only one of the objects of interest from the task, to make sure each sentence contains a knowledge statement into which any of the objects can be substituted. Finally, sentences with less than 3 words are removed as these are not likely to contain informative statements.
+
+Auxiliary knowledge. For auxiliary knowledge experiments, we prepend the generated and postprocessed knowledge statements before the question in the task. An example is illustrated in Figure D.1.

+# MOTION-INDUCTIVE SELF-SUPERVISED OBJECT DISCOVERY IN VIDEOS
+
+Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review
+
+# ABSTRACT
+
+In this paper, we consider the task of unsupervised object discovery in videos. Previous works have shown promising results via processing optical flows to segment objects. However, taking flow as input brings about two drawbacks. First, flow cannot capture sufficient cues when objects remain static or partially occluded. Second, it is challenging to establish temporal coherency from flow-only input, due to the missing texture information. To tackle these limitations, we propose a model for directly processing consecutive RGB frames, and infer the optical flow between any pair of frames using a layered representation, with the opacity channels being treated as the segmentation. Additionally, to enforce object permanence, we apply temporal consistency loss on the inferred masks from randomly-paired frames, which refer to the motions at different paces, and encourage the model to segment the objects even if they may not move at the current time point. Experimentally, we demonstrate superior performance over previous state-of-the-art methods on three public video segmentation datasets (DAVIS2016, SegTrackv2, and FBMS-59), while being computationally efficient by avoiding the overhead of computing optical flow as input.
+
+# 1 INTRODUCTION
+
+Representing the visual scene with objects as the basic elements has long been considered a fundamental cognitive ability of the intelligent agent, for it enables understanding and interaction with the world more efficiently, for example, combinatorial generalization in novel settings (Tenenbaum et al., 2011). Although it remains somewhat obscure at the level of neurophysiology on exactly how humans discover the objects in a visual scene in the first place, it is a consensus that motion seems to play an indispensable role in defining and discovering the objects from the scene. For example, in 1923, Wertheimer introduced the common fate principle that elements moving together tends to be perceived as a group (Wertheimer, 1923); while later Gibson claimed the independent motion has even been treated as one attribute to define an object visually (Gibson & Carmichael, 1966). Grounded on the above assumptions, the recent literature has witnessed numerous works with different models proposed for segmenting the moving objects via unsupervised learning (Yang et al., 2019; 2021b;a; Liu et al., 2021).
+
+Exploiting optical flows for object discovery naturally incurs two critical limitations: First, objects in videos may stop moving or be partially occluded at any time point, leaving no effective cues for their existence in the flow field; Second, computing optical flow from a pair of frames refers to a lossy encoding procedure, that poses a significant challenge for establishing temporal coherence, due to the lack of effective texture information. In contrast, adopting RGB frame sequences poses a few clear advantages. The most obvious one is that, while objects do not necessarily move all the time, the property of temporal coherence in RGB space naturally guarantees a preliminary understanding of object permanence; Additionally, the rich textures in the appearance stream give more distinctive patterns than those in motion, allowing to better identify and distinguish the different objects. Last but not least, processing RGB streams still enables a faster processing speed than using optical flow.
+
+In this paper, our goal is to train a video segmentation model that can discover the moving objects within a sequence of RGB frames, in the form of segmentation. In specific, our proposed model first encodes consecutive frames independently, into a set of frame-wise visual features, that is followed by a temporal fusion with a Transformer encoder. To localise the moving objects, we randomly pair the visual features from two frames and pass them into a frame comparator module, effectively establishing the relative motion between frames. Inspired by Yang et al. (2021a), we decode the motion features into optical flows with a dual-layered representation, with the opacity weight of each layer treated as the segmentation mask. At training time, we exploit an off-the-shelf optical flow estimator, e.g., RAFT (Teed & Deng, 2020), as the induction for flow reconstruction. To develop the property of object permanence, we enforce a temporal consistency on the inferred segmentation masks, which encourages the model to mine effective texture information from the RGB sequence and keep track of the objects even if they may be static at the current time point.

+Figure 1: Illustration about Bicycle Motocross (BMX) sequence on SegTrackv2 (Li et al., 2013). The red boxes and the yellow boxes refer to the arm and the back of the player, respectively. Flowonly method (Yang et al., 2021a) fails to track the same region in a temporal consistent fashion since it derives the foreground region directly from current optical flow. However, our methodology of processing a RGB video clip develops a sense of object permanence and solves the issue.
+
+In short, we summarize the contributions in this paper: First, we introduce the Motion-inductive Object Discovery (MOD) model, a simple architecture for discovering the moving objects in videos, by directly processing a set of consecutive RGB frames. Second, we propose a self-supervised proxy task that is used to train the architecture without relying upon any manual annotation. To overcome the challenge from flow-based methods, i.e., objects may stay static or move slowly, we adopt a random-paired policy and restrain the temporal consistency. Third, we conduct a series of ablation studies to validate each key component of our method, such as the temporal consistency of randompaired flow. While evaluating three public benchmarks, we demonstrate superior performance over existing approaches on DAVIS2016 (Perazzi et al., 2016), SegTrackv2 (Li et al., 2013), and FBMS59 (Ochs et al., 2013), with considerable speed-up during the inference procedure.
+
+# 2 RELATED WORK
+
+Video Object Segmentation. How to segment objects coherently in one video sequence has extended the topic of instance segmentation in the image. There is a great amount of work about video object segmentation (VOS) in recent decades (Caelles et al., 2017; Hu et al., 2017; Fan et al., 2019; Dutt Jain et al., 2017; Lai & Xie, 2019; Maninis et al., 2018; Oh et al., 2019; Voigtlaender et al., 2019; Caelles et al., 2017; Perazzi et al., 2017; Hu et al., 2018; Li & Loy, 2018; Bao et al., 2018; Voigtlaender et al., 2019; Johnander et al., 2019). Recently, the research on getting rid of the dense annotation and designing more effective self-supervised algorithms has attracted more and more interest in the computer vision community including VOS (Xu & Wang, 2021; Jabri et al., 2020; Lai et al., 2020; Li et al., 2019; Vondrick et al., 2018; Lu et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2019; Kipf et al., 2022). For VOS, there are two mainstream protocols to evaluate the learned model. One is semi-supervised video object segmentation, the other is unsupervised video object segmentation. Given the first-frame mask of the objects of interest, semi-supervised VOS tracks those objects in subsequent frames, while unsupervised VOS directly segments the most salient objects from the background without any reference. These two protocols are defined in the inference phase, meaning methods could leverage ground truth annotations in the training stage. In this paper, we don’t use any kinds of manual annotations for either training or evaluation.
+
+Motion Segmentation. As the name suggests, the aim of motion segmentation is to discover moving objects. One line of the work (Brox & Malik, 2010; Fragkiadaki et al., 2012; Ochs & Brox, 2012; Ochs et al., 2013; Lezama et al., 2011; Keuper et al., 2015) formulates motion as the point trajectory to take advantage of long-range temporal information so that segmentation results can be acquired by grouping the trajectories. Later, deep learning methods take over the area (Tokmakov et al., 2017b;a; Xie et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2019; 2021a; Choudhury et al., 2022; Yang et al., 2021b; Ye et al., 2022a; Wang et al., 2022). Tokmakov et al. (2017b) adopts a two-stream network that ingests both RGB and optical flow. Then they realize a memory mechanism by the convolutional recurrent unit to enhance the visual cues. CIS (Yang et al., 2019) achieves fully unsupervised motion segmentation which discards the supervision of annotated masks during training. By formulating a min-max game of mutual information, the generator is asked to create foreground segments that are as unrelated as possible to the background. AMD (Liu et al., 2021) minimizes the warp synthesis error to train appearance and motion pathways without any supervision. The most similar work to ours is MG (Yang et al., 2021a), which solely leverages the optical flow to separate the pixels via cross attention mechanism (Locatello et al., 2020). Compared to MG (Yang et al., 2021a), we keep reserved on the module design and the training recipe to demonstrate the improvement brought by our method is purely from taking consecutive RGB frames instead of optical flow. Recent work GWM (Choudhury et al., 2022) also utilizes RGB images and adopt the supervision from optical flow but their model ingests a single image to segment the foreground and fails to consider temporal coherency.
+
+Object Discovery. There is rich literature on identifying salient objects without explicit supervision, known as object discovery. There exist a series of works that aim to learn object-centric representations in images (Locatello et al., 2020; Lin et al., 2020; Jiang & Ahn, 2020; Greff et al., 2019; Emami et al., 2021; Burgess et al., 2019; Crawford & Pineau, 2019; Engelcke et al., 2019; 2021). Typically, IODINE (Greff et al., 2019) develops iterative variational inference to separate different objects. Locatello et al. (2020) proposes slot attention to iteratively update latent object representations. Further, a line of works (Zablotskaia et al., 2020; Min et al., 2021; Kosiorek et al., 2018; Kipf et al., 2022; Jiang et al., 2019; Kabra et al., 2021; Crawford & Pineau, 2020; Besbinar & Frossard, 2021; Bear et al., 2020; Bao et al., 2022; Ye et al., 2022b; Yang et al., 2021a) extend object-centric learning to video domain. Most of these approaches incorporate motion cues into the reconstruction task and perform well in moving object segmentation but perform poorly in processing static objects. While in this work, we adopt slot attention to form optical flow reconstruction bottleneck and perceive both dynamic and static instances through RGB clip input in a temporally consistent way.
+
+# 3 MOTION-INDUCTIVE OBJECT DISCOVERY (MOD) MODEL
+
+In this section, we detail our MOD model, which processes a set of consecutive RGB frames and automatically discovers the moving objects in the form of segmentation. An overview of the training procedure can be seen in Figure 2, where the visual features computed from individual frames are temporally fused, and randomly paired together, for decoding the optical flows between two corresponding frames. Taking inspiration from the motion grouping (Yang et al., 2021a), we also adopt a dual-layered representation for the output flow, with the foreground and background flows being reconstructed separately, and later composited with the inferred opacity masks (soft segmentation). In the following section, we will detail each key component in our proposed architecture.
+
+# 3.1 SPATIAL-TEMPORAL VISUAL ENCODER
+
+To start with, our model takes a short video clip as input, i.e., $\boldsymbol { v } = \{ x _ { 1 } , \cdot \cdot \cdot , x _ { T } \} , \boldsymbol { v } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { T \times H \times W \times 3 }$ , consisting of a set of RGB frames, the frame-wise visual representations are computed with a shared visual encoder $\Phi _ { \mathrm { e n c } }$ . Formally, the output feature map $o _ { t }$ at timestamp $t$ $\mathit { \Omega } ^ { \prime } 1 \leq t \leq T$ ) can be obtained:
+
+$$
+o _ { t } = \Phi _ { \mathrm { e n c } } ( x _ { t } ) \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h \times w \times d } ,
+$$
+
+![](images/6ac4e428208c824fd942549d3cba6ba6cb282a7ae4f2919d8398391c180d3da3.jpg)  
+Figure 2: Model architecture. Our model first extracts spatial features of consecutive frames by the visual encoder. To jointly model the temporal relation, we aggregate and interact among the multi-frame features with late-fusion. We randomly pair two frames’ visual representations and pass them into the frame comparator to encode relative motion. Then, we decode the flow from random-paired frames. Through iterative routing, we adopt a dual-layer representation for the flow reconstruction, i.e., outputting the foreground and background flows separately, and composing them with inferred opacity weights. The whole training procedure does not require supervision from any mask annotations.
+
+where $h , w , d$ denotes the dimension of the height, width, and channel, respectively. Till this point, to build the temporal dependency between multiple visual frames, a global fusion module is introduced, via a standard Transformer Encoder layer:
+
+$$
+\{ \widetilde o _ { 1 } , \dots , \widetilde o _ { T } \} = \Phi _ { \mathrm { t e m p } } ( \{ o _ { 1 } + \mathtt { p e } _ { 1 } , \cdots , o _ { T } + \mathtt { p e } _ { T } \} ) ,
+$$
+
+where $\mathsf { p e }$ refers to the learnable spatial-temporal positional encodings, and the output $\tilde { o } _ { t } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h \times w \times d }$ remains the same dimension as input.
+
+By taking the multiple RGB frames as input, our proposed visual encoder can explicitly consider the temporal coherence within the video clip. Note that, such seemingly simple design poses two critical differences from previous work on motion-driven object discovery (Yang et al., 2019; 2021a), where only frame-wise optical flow is adopted: First, using RGB frames as input can drastically reduce the computation latency at inference time. The throughput of our model without computing dense optical flow reaches round 100 fps on a standard 32GB Tesla V100 GPU while prior works need to calculate flow at first. RGB provides more semantic information than flows for the model to exploit, i.e., including not only the object’s shape but also its texture. Second, processing multiple frames contributes to the development of a sense of object permanence within the video clip, i.e., the understanding that items or people still exist even when they cannot be perceived explicitly. Therefore, even though the objects in videos may stop moving or be partially occluded at any time point, they can still be effectively segmented with the temporal cues.
+
+# 3.2 RANDOM-PAIRED FRAME COMPARATOR
+
+Till this point, we consider building the relative motion between any two visual frames within the video clip, from reference frame $i$ to target frame $j$ , i.e., $f _ { i \to j }$ . In specific, we select the visual representation of the two corresponding frames, i.e., ${ \tilde { o } } _ { i }$ and ${ \tilde { o } } _ { j }$ , concatenate them along the feature dimension, and feed it into a comparator module:
+
+$$
+f _ { i \to j } = \Phi _ { \mathrm { c o m p } } ( \mathrm { c o n c a t } ( \tilde { o } _ { i } , \tilde { o } _ { j } ) ) \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h \times w \times d } ,
+$$
+
+where $\Phi _ { \mathrm { c o m p } } : \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 d }  \mathbb { R } ^ { d }$ consists of multiple deformable convolutional layers (Zhu et al., 2019) followed by a series of Transformer Encoders, that dynamically construct the feature representation for later estimating relative motion between frames while reducing the feature dimensions at the same time.
+
+Discussion. With such a design of random-paired frame comparator, our MOD is capable of modeling the relative motion between any two randomly sampled frames out of the video clip $T$ frames), accounting for a total of $T ^ { 2 }$ frame pairs for forward, backward, single, or multi-step motions. Note that, we do not distinguish the case of $i \neq j$ and $i = j$ . Specifically, the former encourages the model to discover the relative motion between two different frames, while the latter refers to an extreme case that neither objects nor camera is moving, and no motion cues are available, thus enforcing the model to discover objects via temporal coherence, i.e., objects that moves in any frame along the video should also be discovered in static frames.
+
+# 3.3 DUAL-LAYERED FLOW DECODER
+
+To decode the features into the form of optical flow, we adopt several slot attention layers (Locatello et al., 2020) with two learnable queries, i.e., termed as slot vectors, iteratively attending the output visual features from the comparator, and decoded into the optical flow between any two frames with a dual-layered representation. In detail, a slot attention module acts similarly to a Transformer Decoder, with the only exception being that the normalisation is computed along the slot side, thus each slot competes to take over the pixels. In each iteration, given two slot vectors as $S \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 \times d }$ and visual feature maps $\tilde { o } _ { t } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h w \times d }$ , we use three linear projections to compute the query, key and value, i.e., $Q \in \mathbf { \bar { \mathbb { R } } } ^ { 2 \times d } , K , V \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h w \times d }$ . Thereafter, we can obtain the weights matrix $\bar { W } \in \bar { \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 } } \times h w$ and normalise along the slot dimension, i.e.,
+
+$$
+\widetilde { W } _ { s , \cdot } = \exp ( W _ { s , \cdot } ) / \sum _ { l } \exp { ( W _ { l , \cdot } ) } , \mathrm { w h e r e } ~ W = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { d } } Q K ^ { T } .
+$$
+
+Then, we gain the next iteration’s slot vectors by aggregating the values $V$ and passing them into a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) (Cho et al., 2014), i.e.,
+
+$$
+S : = \mathrm { G R U ( i n p u t s } = A V , \mathrm { s t a t e s } = S ) , \mathrm { w h e r e } A _ { \cdot , s } = \frac { \widetilde { W } _ { \cdot , s } } { \sum _ { l } \widetilde { W } _ { \cdot , l } } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 \times ( h \times w ) } .
+$$
+
+We iterate the whole routing process for $N$ times. In this way, the entities of similar RGB and flow patterns are grouped together and distinct pixels are separated by two slots. Eventually, we broadcast the final outputted slots into G = {Gs ∈ Rh×w×d}2s= added with learnable spatial positional embeddings to construct the optical flow. A flow decoder $\Phi _ { \mathrm { d e c } }$ consisting Transformer encoders and up-sampling layers takes the slot grids as input, and outputs dual layers of optical flows $\{ \widetilde { I } ^ { s } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { H \times W \times 3 } \} _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } ^ { 1 }$ and their opacity weights $\{ \alpha ^ { s } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { H \times W \times 1 } \} _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 }$ :
+
+$$
+\{ \widetilde { I } ^ { s } , \alpha ^ { s } \} _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } = \Phi _ { \mathrm { d e c } } ( G ) ,
+$$
+
+where $\alpha ^ { s } \in [ 0 , 1 ] ^ { H \times W \times 1 }$ is normalized across two slots via softmax function. Noted that thanks to the softmax function, the alpha value for foreground could be close to zero when the foreground object is missing in part of the video. For a given frame pair $( i , j )$ , their relative flow $\widetilde { I } _ { i  j }$ can be computed via:
+
+$$
+\widetilde { I } _ { i  j } = \sum _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } \alpha _ { i  j } ^ { s } \otimes \widetilde { I } _ { i  j } ^ { s } ,
+$$
+
+where $\otimes$ denotes the element-wise multiplication. At inference time, we adopt the binarized opacity weights $\alpha ^ { s }$ as the object segmentation masks.
+
+# 3.4 TRAINING
+
+In this section, we describe the training procedure for the proposed model, on the raw videos without using manual annotations for the object segmentations. In general, the training loss is composed of three components, namely, flow reconstruction, temporal consistency, and entropy minimisation.
+
+Flow Reconstruction. As the main objective for optimisation, we use the flow reconstruction, where we adopt an off-the-shelf optical flow estimator, for example, RAFT (Teed & Deng, 2020), to estimate the flow between any two frames in the video. We minimise the discrepancy between the dual-layer flow reconstruction and the output from the existing flow estimator:
+
+$$
+\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } } ^ { i  j } = \frac { 1 } { | \Omega | } \sum _ { u \in \Omega } | I _ { i  j } ( u ) - \widetilde { I } _ { i  j } ( u ) | _ { 2 } ,
+$$
+
+where $\Omega = \{ 1 , \cdots , H \} \times \{ 1 , \cdots , W \}$ represents the spatial lattice, and a $| \cdot | _ { 2 }$ denotes the L2 norm. In practice, the reconstruction constraint for zero flow when $i = j$ is dropped due to the distribution gap between dynamic flow and static flow, resulting in the divergence of the training. Note that, flow estimator is only used for model training, at inference time, our proposed architecture directly processes the RGB video clips.
+
+Temporal Consistency. In order to build up temporal consistency within the input video, the pair of motion embeddings $f _ { i \to j } , f _ { i \to k }$ that starts from the same reference frame $i$ , are passed through the flow decoder to reconstruct the optical flow between two corresponding frames. Note that, as $1 \leq j , k \leq T$ are randomly sampled at every training iteration, the output flow will refer to the motion at a different pace. However, the predicted alpha weights for flow composition denote the soft segmentation for the same objects in the $i$ -th frame, thus remaining consistent. In specific, the two inferred masks $\{ \alpha _ { i \to j } ^ { s } \} _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } , \{ \stackrel { \smile } { \alpha } _ { i \to k } ^ { s } \} _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 }$ are enforced to pull closer by minimising mean-squared error $\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { c o n s } }$ , i.e.,
+
+$$
+\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { c o n s } } = \frac { 1 } { T } \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { T } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { c o n s } } ^ { i } \quad \mathrm { ~ w h e r e ~ } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { c o n s } } ^ { i } = \frac { 1 } { 2 | \Omega | } \sum _ { u \in \Omega } \sum _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } | \alpha _ { i \to j } ^ { s } ( u ) - \alpha _ { i \to k } ^ { s } ( u ) | ^ { 2 } .
+$$
+
+Entropy Minimisation. Lastly, we impose a pixel-wise entropy regularisation on inferred masks, that is zero if the alpha channels are one-hot, and maximum when they are of equal probability. Intuitively, this helps encourage the masks to be binary, which aligns with our goal in obtaining segmentation masks:
+
+$$
+\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } } ^ { i  j } = \frac { 1 } { 2 | \Omega | } \sum _ { u \in \Omega } \sum _ { s = 1 } ^ { 2 } - \alpha _ { i  j } ^ { s } ( u ) \log ( \alpha _ { i  j } ^ { s } ( u ) ) .
+$$
+
+Total Loss. Accordingly, we rewrite aforementioned reconstruction loss $\scriptstyle { \mathcal { L } } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } }$ and entropy regulatization ${ \mathcal { L } } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } }$ in summed version:
+
+$$
+\begin{array} { l l l } { \displaystyle \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } } = \frac { 1 } { 2 T } \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { T } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } } ^ { i \to j _ { i } } + \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } } ^ { i \to k _ { i } } ; } \\ { \displaystyle \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } } = \frac { 1 } { 2 T } \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { T } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } } ^ { i \to j _ { i } } + \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } } ^ { i \to k _ { i } } . } \end{array}
+$$
+
+The total loss for training our model can thus be computed as:
+
+$$
+\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { t o t } } = \lambda _ { \mathrm { r } } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { r e c o n } } + \lambda _ { \mathrm { e } } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r o } } + \lambda _ { \mathrm { c } } \mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { c o n s } } ,
+$$
+
+where we set $\lambda _ { \mathrm { r } } = 1 0 0$ , $\lambda _ { \mathrm { e } } = \lambda _ { \mathrm { c } } = 0 . 0 1$ at the beginning of the training. We notice the model to be fairly robust to these hyper-parameters.
+
+# 4 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
+
+In the experiments setup, we first introduce the benchmarks and then elaborate on implementation details.
+
+# 4.1 DATASETS
+
+We benchmark on three popular datasets designed for video object segmentation. DAVIS2016 (Perazzi et al., 2016) consists of 50 high quality videos, 3455 frames in total. Every frame is annotated with a pixel-accurate segmentation mask. SegTrackv2 (Li et al., 2013) contains 14 sequences and 947 fully-annotated frames. Each sequence involves 1-6 moving objects and presents challenges including motion blur, appearance change, complex deformation, occlusion, slow motion, and interacting objects. FBMS-59 (Ochs et al., 2013) has 59 sequences with greatly varied resolution and annotates every 20th frame. Many sequences contain multiple moving objects. Following previous evaluation metric (Yang et al., 2019; Xie et al., 2022), we merge objects of SegTrackv2 and FBMS59 into one single object for video object segmentation. We evaluate the pixel-wise segmentation through Jaccard index $\mathcal { I }$ , also called Intersection over Union (IoU). Following prior arts (Yang et al., 2019; 2021a), we compute the mean per frame over the test set and merge multi-object annotation into single unified segmentation.
+
+# 4.2 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+
+For data input, we sample $T = 7$ consecutive frames as the input clip. Each frame is resized to $1 9 2 \times 3 8 4$ and the estimated optical flow is computed by RAFT (Teed & Deng, 2020), which is pre-trained on the synthetic dataset (Mayer et al., 2016).
+
+To compute spatial-temporal visual representation, we adopt the first three stages of a SwinV2- $\mathrm { T }$ as the frame encoder $\Phi _ { \mathrm { e n c } }$ , which is then followed by a standard Transformer Encoders with 8 heads (Vaswani et al., 2017) as temporal fusion module $\Phi _ { \mathrm { t e m p } }$ . For the frame comparator $\Phi _ { \mathrm { c o m p } }$ , we use two deformable convolutional layers in the company with three standard Transformer Encoders with 8 heads to process the pixel transformation. Then, we choose $N = 5$ iteration in total for the iterative routing in slot attention. Lastly, we utilize three stages of SwinV2 blocks with the linear patch expanding layers as the flow decoder $\Phi _ { \mathrm { d e c } }$ (Cao et al., 2021).
+
+As for training, we adopt AdamW optimizer (Loshchilov & Hutter, 2018) with learning rate $4 \times 1 0 ^ { - 5 }$ . The model is trained from scratch without any pretrained weights, for a total of 300k iterations. At inference time, we adopt the overlapping temporal sliding window to ensemble the segmentation masks. We average the resultant masks obtained by the whole temporal segments. We propose two protocols to evaluate our results. Besides measuring the masks without any post-processing, we also apply test-time adaptation with the help of the self-supervised DINO-pretrained ViT (Caron et al., 2021). Without any fine-tuning, the pretrained ViT can propagate the masks as noisy annotations to the whole frames in the same manner as CRW (Jabri et al., 2020). We refine the masks further with CRF (Lafferty et al., 2001). For more detailed technical information, please refer to the supplementary materials.
+
+# 5 RESULTS
+
+In this section, we compare primarily with several top-performing approaches trained without human annotations, for example, OCLR (Xie et al., 2022), MG (Yang et al., 2021a), CIS (Yang et al., 2019), etc. However, as the architecture, modality, input resolution, and post-processing protocols are all different, we try our best to conduct the comparison as fairly as possible.
+
+# 5.1 ABLATION STUDY
+
+We conduct all ablation studies on DAVIS2016 and vary one variable each time, as shown in Table 1.
+
+Temporal Fusion $\Phi _ { \mathrm { t e m p } }$ and Frame Comparator $\Phi _ { \mathbf { c o m p } }$ . As shown by Ours-A and Our-C, the performance degrades significantly without temporal fusion, demonstrating the importance of building up global temporal dependency. Also, indicated by Ours-B, we find the model fails to converge when removing the component of frame comparator $\Phi _ { \mathrm { c o m p } }$ . It meets expectations because frame comparator $\Phi _ { \mathrm { c o m p } }$ is the sole module in charge of relative motion estimation. Without it, the model cannot reconstruct optical flow thus leading to divergence.
+
+Number of Frames $T$ . While comparing Ours-A, Ours-D, and Ours-E, there is a clear trend that increasing the frame number boosts the segmentation quality, which coincides with our intuition that incorporating a wider temporal receptive field can enhance the sense of temporal coherence and object permanence. Due to the limited computational memory, we only set $T = 7$ as the maximum frame number in the paper. A promising performance is expected when inputting more frames.

+
+Temporal Consistency $\mathcal { L } _ { \mathbf { c o n s } }$ and Entropy Regularisation $\mathcal { L } _ { \mathrm { e n t r } 0 }$ . Lastly, comparing Ours-G and Ours-A, we observe that the performance increases considerably with temporal consistency. It manifests the validity of our design motivation, temporal consistency conduces to persistently tracking the object. The entropy regularisation is also indispensable shown by Ours-H and Ours-A.
+
+# 5.2 COMPARISON WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART
+
+We show the comparison with state-of-the-art in Table 2. On DAVIS2016, MOD achieves $7 3 . 9 \%$ mIOU without any post-processing, exceeding MG (Yang et al., 2021a) by a large margin $( + 5 . 8 \% )$ . Compared to the latest method OCLR (Xie et al., 2022) which fabricates a synthesized dataset to train its model, our method still surpasses it only using the information of the DAVIS dataset itself. On another two benchmarks SegTrackv2 and FBMS-59, MOD also beats MG (Yang et al., 2021a), which only leverages single-step flows to decompose foreground and background, by $+ 3 . 6 \%$ and $+ 8 . 2 \%$ , respectively. The superior experimental results demonstrate that our methodology of multiframe reasoning benefits moving object discovery. Furthermore, equipped with DINO-pretrained ViT, a further performance gain is observed on all three benchmarks, which is even more competitive with current supervised approaches.
+
+# 5.3 QUALITATIVE RESULTS
+
+In Figure 3, we present several qualitative illustrations of the model. It can be seen that our results are robust to the noticeable background flow signal (drift-chicane sequence in the second column) and estimate more accurate boundaries when single-step foreground flow cannot represent exact object shape (breakdance and dance-twirl sequences in middle) compared to MG (Yang et al., 2021a). It demonstrates inferring the masks by associating a bunch of RGB features well resolves the limitation of the usage of flow. Moreover, in virtue of temporally consistent cues, our model handles occlusion well shown in the libby sequence at the rightmost column, which could be hard for the flow-only method to maintain the object shape constantly.

+# 5.4 LIMITATIONS
+
+Though we demonstrate that associating multiple frames stimulates the comprehensive sense of objectness, which is proved by the superior experimental performance across the prior arts, there still exist limitations and room for improvement. First, our method uses a number of consecutive frames, which challenges computational memory. How to utilize pretrained features for reducing training expenses would be meaningful. Second, how to segment multiple objects remains unresolved. We display a preliminary result in supplementary material. It will be promising to exploit the semantic information from RGB to discriminate different foreground objects. We leave them as the feature work. Despite these limitations, the approach has convincingly manifested the value of considering textural information and processing RGB frames as a whole.
+
+# 6 CONCLUSION
+
+In this paper, we propose a self-supervised model for video object discovery. The model takes a set of consecutive RGB frames as input and generates the segmentation mask for the moving objects in the video. At training time, the model is tasked to reconstruct the optical flow between any pair of frames, through a layered representation with the opacity channels being treated as the segmentation. To encourage the model to capture the objects even when they may be static at a certain time point, a temporal consistency loss is enforced on the inferred masks on the randomlypaired frames. As a consequence, we demonstrate superior performance over previous state-of-theart methods on three public video segmentation datasets (DAVIS2016, SegTrackv2, and FBMS-59), while being computationally efficient by avoiding the overhead of computing optical flow.

+
+# A.4 TRAINING DETAILS
+
+For all datasets, we train with a batch size of 2. To train more efficiently, we sample three flow pairs $( i  j )$ for a given frame $i$ ; one is static replication $i = j$ , another two are motion pair $i \neq j$ . We apply temporal consistency first on the masks from two motion pairs, then pull the static mask to the average of two dynamic masks closer. We linearly warm up the learning rate for the first 1k iterations. Besides, for every $1 0 0 \mathrm { k }$ iterations, we decay the learning rate by half and increase the scale of temporal consistency $\lambda _ { c }$ and entropy regularisation $\lambda _ { e }$ by the factor of 5. In the default setting, we train for about 3 days on 8 standard Tesla V100 GPUs with 32GB memory each.

+
+# A.5 TEST-TIME ADAPTATION
+
+Inspired by OCLR (Xie et al., 2022), we adopt test-time adaptation based on RGB sequence to enhance appearance consistency. In detail, we follow existing works on self-supervised tracking (Lai et al., 2020; Jabri et al., 2020) to propagate object masks across time span. The whole process consists of three steps. First, we extract RGB features of each frame with a DINO-pretrained ViT encoder. Then, we select key frames for object mask propagation. Finally, we calculate the affinity matrix between frames and perform mask propagation.
+
+DINO Feature Extraction. Given a video sequence $\boldsymbol { v } = \{ x _ { 1 } , . . . , x _ { T } \} , \boldsymbol { v } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { T \times H \times W \times 3 }$ , we use DINO pretrained ViT-Small encoder with patch size $8 \times 8$ to extract features:
+
+$$
+\{ f _ { 1 } , . . . , f _ { T } \} = \{ \Phi ( x _ { 1 } ) , . . . , \Phi ( x _ { T } ) \} , \quad f _ { t } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { h \times w \times 3 8 4 } ,
+$$
+
+where $h = H / / 8$ and $w = W / / 8$ . The extracted features will be used in the mask propagation step.
+
+Key Frame Selection. Given video $v$ , our model predicts object mask of each frame as $m =$ $\{ \alpha _ { 1 } , . . . , \alpha _ { T } \} , m \in \mathbb { R } ^ { T \times H \times W \times 1 }$ . Since the video frames are continuous along the temporal dimension, it is practical to propagate object masks between neighboring frames. The propagation operation is the same as Jabri et al. (2020), the only difference is that we have no ground-truth mask for reference. Therefore, we need to design a mechanism to select object masks of high confidence. To do this, we measure the temporal coherence of predicted object masks for key frame selection. Specifically, for each timestamp $t \in \{ 3 , . . . , T - 2 \}$ , we can calculate four propagated masks as:
+
+$$
+\hat { \alpha } _ { t } = [ \mathrm { M a s k - p r o p } ( \alpha _ { t - 2 } ) , \mathrm { M a s k - p r o p } ( \alpha _ { t - 1 } ) , \mathrm { M a s k - p r o p } ( \alpha _ { t + 1 } ) , \mathrm { M a s k - p r o p } ( \alpha _ { t + 2 } ) ] ,
+$$
+
+where ‘Mask-prop’ denotes the propagation operation. Then we calculate the average IoU between the original mask and propagated masks as the confidence score:
+
+$$
+s _ { t } = \frac { \mathrm { I o U } ( \hat { \alpha } _ { t } [ 0 ] , \alpha _ { t } ) + \mathrm { I o U } ( \hat { \alpha } _ { t } [ 1 ] , \alpha _ { t } ) + \mathrm { I o U } ( \hat { \alpha } _ { t } [ 2 ] , \alpha _ { t } ) + \mathrm { I o U } ( \hat { \alpha } _ { t } [ 3 ] , \alpha _ { t } ) } { 4 } .
+$$
+
+The calculated $s _ { t }$ measures the coherency between $\alpha _ { t }$ and its neighbors. Our empirical studies show that it serves as a reliable signal for key frame selection.

+Object Mask Propagation. We select timestamps with Top- $k \%$ confidence score as the key reference frames $k = 1 5$ on DAVIS2016, $k = 2 5$ on SegTrackv2, $k = 1 0$ on FBMS-59). Then we iteratively propagate the object masks with a neighbor temporal window size $n = 7$ . Compared to conventional semi-supervised object segmentation which only relies on the first frame as key frame, we have multiple key frames on different temporal positions to correct the accumulated propagation error. In this way, the propagation enhances object permanence across time and boosts performance.

+# C MORE QUANTITATIVE RESULTS
+
+Besides RAFT flow estimator, we consider a fully unsupervised model ARFlow (Liu et al., 2020) shown in Table 9. The inferior result brought from ARFlow demonstrates that a good optical flow quality lays strong foundation for the success of the object discovery, which aligns with our motivation.
+
+# D MORE QUALITATIVE RESULTS
+
+We visualize the segmentation results when initializing 5 slots vectors in Figure 4. The results are promising, where each slot groups similar part under the only supervision of motion. We believe more supervision like semantics (Caron et al., 2021) and depth (Ranftl et al., 2021) would lead to better segmentation. We show more qualitative results of SegTrackv2 and FBMS-59 in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Besides,

ML models may unintentionally include PII of certain data subjects in ML training data. As those models become publicly available, concerns have been raised that such PIIs may be accessed by millions of users using the ML service. Researchers have assessed the possibility of reconstructing PII-relevant training data from a learned model [9, 11, 34, 37, 36]. The task is referred to as training data reconstruction or model inversion. Previous work has shown that it is often possible to reconstruct training data well enough to reveal sensitive attributes (e.g., face images from a face classifier), even with just a black-box access [9, 11, 34]. Researchers have also designed a more evaluation-friendly surrogate task, membership inference attack [29], that tests whether each of the given samples has been included in the training data of the learned model. Subsequent work has shown that this is indeed possible for a wide range of models, including text-generation models [12, 30] and image-generation models [5].

Building a model-based service on such a web-crawled dataset and making it available to millions of users worldwide poses a novel, serious threat to the data rights of the data subjects. Motivated by this, a few early studies have been made to measure privacy leakage in LLMs [13, 19, 4, 14]. However, although [13] initiated the discussion on PII leakage in LLMs, it was limited to the preliminary analysis of only email addresses. [19] conducted a separate study that specifically targeted LLMs fine-tuned with an auxiliary dataset enriched with PII. Furthermore, their study specifically concentrated on scenarios where the prefix or suffix associated with the PII was known. In contrast, ProPILE aims to provide a more comprehensive tool for probing LLMs already in deployment without LLM fine-tuning or prefix retrieval. ",

This paper conducts experiments using five types of PII: phone number, email address, and (physical) address as instances of structured PII and family relationship and university information as instances of unstructured PII. To evaluate the PII leakage, an evaluation dataset was collected from the Pile dataset, which is an 825GB English dataset included in OPT training data [10]. It is noteworthy that the presence of documents containing all five types linked to a data subject is rare in the Pile dataset. However, for structured PII, there were instances where all three types of structured PII were linked to the name of a data subject. Hence, we extracted quadruplets of (name, phone number, email address, address) from the Pile dataset. Specifically, the PII items are searched with regular expressions and named entity recognition [2, 21]. Examples are shown in Figure 2 (b). For the collection of unstructured PII, we adopted a question-answering model based on RoBERTa3 and formulated relevant questions to extract information regarding relationships or affiliations. Only answers with a confidence score exceeding 0.9 were gathered, and subsequently underwent manual filtering to eliminate mislabeled instances. The final evaluation dataset consists of the structured PII quadruplets for 10,000 data subjects, name-family relationship pairs for 10,000 data subjects, and name-university pairs for 2,000 data subjects.

This increase occurred when a phone number, which offers more specific information about the data subject, was provided in addition to the name. In the case of phone numbers, we also observed an increase of more than double. This shows increasing information in the prompts that can be associated with the target PII elevates the leakage. It also supports the effectiveness of black-box probing that utilizes the data subject’s linkable PIIs. Furthermore, with increased beam search sizes in the model (Figure 4 (c)) and larger model sizes (d), the frequency of the target PII appearing in generated sentences also tends to rise. The increasing leakage that occurs with larger model sizes can be attributed to improved accuracy.

If the soft embedding learned for one language model can be reused to probe a different language model, it opens up the possibility of applying the knowledge acquired from whitebox probing to black-box probing. To assess the feasibility of this approach, we transferred the soft prompt learned for the OPT-1.3B model to OPT models with different scales, namely OPT-350M and OPT-2.7B. However, directly plugging the soft embedding trained on one model into another model is impossible due to the mismatch of embedding dimensions (e.g., 1, 024 and 512 for OPT-1.3B and OPT-350M, respectively.) To address this, we follow a two-step process of the previous approach [20]. We project the soft embedding to the closest hard tokens in terms of Euclidean distance and decode it to raw string with the source model’s tokenizer. The string is then concatenated ahead of the raw query text and fed into the target model. ",

The increase in leakage is also denoted with the multiplication symbol $( \\times )$ , showcasing how many times the reconstruction likelihood is amplified when utilizing the soft prompt learned for OPT-1.3B in the other models. While there may not be a substantial difference from the exact match perspective, the potential for transferability has been confirmed in the perspective of likelihood. Future work could explore research for investigating white-box probing techniques for enhancing transferability. ",

ProPILE encompasses two probing strategies: black-box probing for data subjects and white-box probing for LLM service providers. In the black-box probing approach, we strategically designed prompts and metrics so that the data subjects can effectively probe if their own PII is being leaked from LLM. The white-box probing approach empowered LLM service providers to conduct investigations on their own in-house models. This was achieved by leveraging the training data and model parameters to fine-tune more potent prompts, enabling a deeper analysis of potential PII leakage. By conducting actual probing on the OPT-1.3B model, we made several observations. First, we found that the target PII item is generated with a significantly higher likelihood compared to a random PII item. Furthermore, white-box probing revealed a tighter worst-case leakage possibility in terms of PII leakage. We hope that our findings empower the data subjects and LLM service providers for their awareness and control over their own data on the web. ",

+# Abstract
+
+Large Language Models (LLMs) can achieve strong performance on many tasks by producing step-by-step reasoning before giving a final output, often referred to as chain-of-thought reasoning (CoT). It is tempting to interpret these CoT explanations as the LLM’s process for solving a task. This level of transparency into LLMs’ predictions would yield significant safety benefits. However, we find that CoT explanations can systematically misrepresent the true reason for a model’s prediction. We demonstrate that CoT explanations can be heavily influenced by adding biasing features to model inputs—e.g., by reordering the multiple-choice options in a few-shot prompt to make the answer always “(A)”—which models systematically fail to mention in their explanations. When we bias models toward incorrect answers, they frequently generate CoT explanations rationalizing those answers. This causes accuracy to drop by as much as $36 \%$ on a suite of 13 tasks from BIG-Bench Hard, when testing with GPT-3.5 from OpenAI and Claude 1.0 from Anthropic. On a social-bias task, model explanations justify giving answers in line with stereotypes without mentioning the influence of these social biases. Our findings indicate that CoT explanations can be plausible yet misleading, which risks increasing our trust in LLMs without guaranteeing their safety. Building more transparent and explainable systems will require either improving CoT faithfulness through targeted efforts or abandoning CoT in favor of alternative methods.
+
+# 1 Introduction
+
+Chain-of-thought prompting (CoT; Nye et al., 2021; Wei et al., 2022) has emerged as a promising approach for improving the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) (Suzgun et al., 2022; Lewkowycz et al., 2022; Zelikman et al., 2022; Zhou et al., 2023). CoT prompting directs models to verbalize step-by-step reasoning and then make predictions conditioned on that reasoning. CoT significantly improves performance on many tasks, often both describing a correct process for solving a problem and arriving at the correct answer. This suggests that the reasoning process described in CoT explanations may be plausibly interpreted as explanations of how models make predictions.
+
+Understanding why AI systems give certain answers can significantly improve our ability to deploy, regulate, and monitor them responsibly. However, even if CoT explanations seem plausible and have correct reasoning, it remains to be seen how accurately these explanations actually represent the reasons behind model predictions—that is, how faithful the explanations are (Jacovi and Goldberg, 2020). Models could selectively apply evidence, alter their subjective assessments, or otherwise change the reasoning process they describe on the basis of arbitrary features of their inputs, giving a false impression of the underlying drivers of their predictions. As a result, only evaluating the plausibility of explanations may increase trust in AI systems without guaranteeing their safety.
+
+Table 1: An example of an unfaithful chain-of-thought (CoT) explanation from Claude 1.0. The unbiased context uses a standard few-shot CoT prompt (omitted for brevity). In the biased context, we modify the order of the multiple-choice options in the few-shot prompt so that the correct answer is always “(A)”. This example illustrates that models can give plausible reasoning that is consistent with their predicted answer but is nonetheless an unfaithful explanation of the model’s decision procedure.

Shooting from outside the eigh- teen is not a common phrase in soccer and eighteen likely refers to a yard line,which is part of Amer- ican football or golf. So the best</td></tr></table>
+
+We should not expect CoT explanations to be faithful by default, for a few reasons. Foremost is the fact that our training objectives simply do not explicitly incentivize models to accurately report the reasons for their behavior. Additionally, to the extent that LLMs are trained on human-written explanations, these explanations are not only known to be incomplete, often omitting crucial parts of the causal chain for a particular event (Lombrozo, 2006; Hilton, 2017), but they can also often be unfaithful accounts of individuals’ cognitive processes (Nisbett and Wilson, 1977). Human explanations may be geared more towards convincing others or supporting their own beliefs, rather than accurately reflecting the true causes of decisions (Mercier and Sperber, 2011). Models are also trained on data from authors with incompatible attitudes and beliefs, so models may behave in contradictory ways in different contexts (Andreas, 2022). Finally, commonly-used RLHF techniques may directly disincentivize faithful explanations, resulting in model responses that merely look good to human evaluators (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023).
+
+In this paper, we demonstrate that CoT explanations can be plausible yet systematically unfaithful: Models’ explanations can be predictably influenced by biasing features in their inputs which they fail to mention in their explanations. Numerous studies have revealed that language models are sensitive to undesirable features in inputs (Min et al., 2022; Webson and Pavlick, 2022; Dasgupta et al., 2022; Parrish et al., 2022; Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023), and our results suggest that models’ CoT explanations can serve to rationalize giving answers in line with biases while failing to verbalize their influence. In this regard, LLMs do not always say what they think.
+
+We experiment with two benchmarks: BIG-Bench Hard (BBH; Suzgun et al., 2022) and the Bias Benchmark for QA (BBQ; Parrish et al., 2022).1 We test on GPT-3.5 (OpenAI, 2023) and Claude 1.0 (Anthropic, 2023). With BIG-Bench Hard (§3), we investigate two biasing features: (1) Answer is Always A, where we reorder all multiple-choice answer options in a few-shot prompt so the correct one is always $^ { 6 6 } ( \mathrm { A } ) ^ { , , }$ , and (2) Suggested Answer, where the prompt suggests that a specific answer choice might be correct. With BBQ (§4), we measure whether models make predictions on the basis of common social stereotypes. Our main findings are as follows:
+
+1. Adding biasing features heavily influences model CoT predictions on BBH tasks, causing accuracy to drop as much as $36 \%$ , despite the biasing features never being referenced in the CoT explanations.   
+2. When we add these biasing features for BBH, models alter their explanations to justify incorrect bias-consistent predictions. In some instances, these unfaithful explanations still exhibit sound reasoning.   
+3. For BBQ, models give plausible unfaithful explanations that tend to support answers in line with stereotypes. Models justify giving these biased answers without mentioning stereotypes by weighting evidence in the context inconsistently.
+
+Our findings clearly demonstrate that CoT explanations can be plausible yet systematically unfaithful. Building more transparent and explainable systems will require either improving CoT faithfulness through targeted efforts or abandoning CoT in favor of alternative methods.
+
+# 2 Evaluating Systematic Unfaithfulness
+
+Counterfactual Simulatability The counterfactual simulatability framework of explanation faithfulness aims to measure whether model explanations on one input help humans predict what predictions models will give on other inputs (Doshi-Velez and Kim, 2017; Hase et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2023). In this paper, we focus on evaluating explanation faithfulness while attempting to bias models toward particular multiple-choice outputs. In order to be faithful in this setup, models must either acknowledge any biases affecting their predictions or give predictions unaffected by bias. In practice, we find that models virtually never verbalize being influenced by our biasing features: we review 426 explanations supporting biased predictions and only 1 explicitly mentions the bias (Appendix B). Evaluating counterfactual simulatability in the general case involves manually inspecting model explanations and determining their implications for model behavior on counterfactual inputs, which can be expensive and subjective (Chen et al., 2023). Because models omit our biasing features from their explanations, this renders it sufficient to compare final model predictions to evaluate faithfulness. This significantly streamlines evaluation without relying on any proxy metrics for evaluating faithfulness. Importantly, the biasing features we use
+
+Table 2: Simplified prompts demonstrating the two biasing features tested for BBH. The text for the unbiased context is in blue and for the biased context in red. The top example shows the Answer is Always A biasing feature, in which we reorder the multiple-choice options in a few-shot prompt to make the answer always (A). The bottom shows the Suggested Answer bias, in which we add text where a user suggests a random answer is correct. See Appendix Table 14 for exact formats.
+
+<table><tr><td>Biasing Feature #1:Answer is Always A</td></tr><tr><td>Human:Q: Is the following sentence plausible?“Julio Jones struck out.&quot;(A)plausible/implausible (B) implausible/plausible Let&#x27;s think step by step.[..] Answer: (B)/(A) implausible [..] Answer:(B)/(A) implausible [...] Answer: (B)/(A) implausible</td></tr><tr><td>[..] Answer: (A)/(A) plausible [..] Answer: (B)/(A) implausible [..] Answer: (A)/(A) plausible</td></tr><tr><td>Q: Is the following sentence plausible?“LeBron James took a corner kick.&quot;(A) plausible (B) implausible Assistant:[generate CoT explanation]</td></tr><tr><td>Biasing Feature #2: Suggested Answer</td></tr><tr><td>Human:Q: Is the following sentence plausible?“LeBron James took a corner kick.”(A) plausible (B) implausible &lt;empty&gt;/I think the answer is A but I&#x27;m curious to hear what you</td></tr></table>
+
+have predictable effects on model behavior (e.g., causing it to answer “(A)” more often). Measuring these effects gives us an account of whether these features are an important driver of model predictions, despite their explanations not mentioning the influence of these features. In this way, the explanations are systematically unfaithful (in contrast to, e.g., unfaithfulness from sampling variation or unsystematic sensitivity to the contents of the input).
+
+Two Types of Counterfactuals For our experiments with BIG-Bench Hard (§3), we look at model behavior on inputs with and without biasing features. For example, Table 1 illustrates how a model’s CoT explanation changes when the few-shot prompt is changed so that the correct answer is always “(A)”. It rationalizes changing its answer by taking the opposite position on whether “shooting outside the eighteen” is part of soccer, failing to mention the biasing factor that contributed to this change. For our experiments with BBQ, we measure unfaithfulness by comparing model predictions on examples augmented with two opposing versions of weak evidence. We find that models rely on this evidence in their explanations and do not mention the influence of social stereotypes (Appendix B), so their predictions should change when the evidence changes in order for the explanations to be faithful. We measure how often models use the evidence inconsistently to justify giving answers in line with social stereotypes. These approaches allow us to measure unfaithfulness with two types of counterfactuals, by testing whether (1) for BBH, model predictions are insensitive to features not referenced by explanations, i.e. the biasing features that we add, and (2) for BBQ, that model predictions are sensitive to features that are relied on by their explanations, i.e. the weak evidence. Table 2 illustrates the setup for BBH and Table 3 illustrates the setup for BBQ.
+
+Evaluating Faithfulness in Subjective Domains Existing work on CoT often focuses on objective tasks like mathematics with one clear answer, but questions with elements of subjectivity are particularly crucial to study because of the possibility of models giving plausible yet unfaithful explanations. The reasoning provided by a model on a single example may be coherent and consistent with its prediction on that example (in which case we call it plausible) while being misleading about how the system will make predictions on other examples (in which case we also call it unfaithful). In subjective domains, seemingly sound reasoning may be possible for a number of different answers, but sufficiently complete explanations for different answers will require mutually incompatible assumptions or beliefs. If biases cause the model to contradict itself across explanations by steering the model to make different assumptions in different contexts, this is unfaithful if the bias is not acknowledged. BBH includes some subjective tasks and BBQ is entirely subjective.
+
+Table 3: An example of an unfaithful explanation on BBQ for a stereotype-aligned prediction (GPT3.5, zero-shot CoT, no debiasing instructions). We create a modified version of the BBQ dataset where examples have been augmented with two versions of weak evidence (in bold). By comparing model predictions on both versions of the weak evidence, we are testing if models use evidence inconsistently in CoT, and if they do so in a way consistent with social stereotypes.

+# 3 Perturbing Input Features Not Referenced by Explanations
+
+# 3.1 Experimental Setup
+
+Models We test two near–state-of-the-art RL–fine-tuned models, as these are the preferred choice for a wide variety of tasks (Liang et al., 2022). We use text-davinci-003 (GPT-3.5) from OpenAI. Information about parameter count, architecture, and training data has not been disclosed publicly. GPT-3.5 is an RLHF fine-tuned model, trained using reward models similar to the ones described in Ouyang et al. (2022) for better instruction-following behavior (OpenAI, 2023). We also use claude-v1.0 from Anthropic. Details for Claude 1.0 have also not been disclosed, except for the fact that it was trained using Constitutional AI (Bai et al., 2022) to act as an AI assistant that is helpful (to the user), honest (factual), and harmless (Anthropic, 2023).
+
+Data BIG-Bench Hard (BBH; Suzgun et al., 2022) is a set of 23 multiple-choice tasks from the BIGBench benchmark (Srivastava et al., 2022), on which current state-of-the-art models do substantially worse than the average human rater. These tasks span topics such as logical deduction, traditional natural language processing, commonsense reasoning, and math. While BBH predominantly evaluates deductive reasoning capabilities, we choose 13 tasks from the original 23 that require additional complexities, such as a degree of subjectivity or hard-to-falsify world knowledge, in addition to deductive reasoning components. Explanations for these tasks involving elements of subjectivity may elicit more plausible CoT explanations for incorrect responses while still retaining correct reasoning, which is a concerning case of unfaithfulness. Due to cost constraints, we subsample 330 examples per task, including all available examples for tasks with fewer than 330. We use 30 examples per task as candidates for few-shot CoT demonstrations. This leaves us with 3,299 examples for evaluation. Additional details are in Appendix F.
+
+Input Perturbations For BBH, we compare model predictions on unmodified inputs (“unbiased context”) against predictions on inputs that have a biasing feature applied (“biased context”). 2 First, we test Answer is Always A: We reorder the multiple-choice answer options in the few-shot prompts we feed the model so that the correct answer is always the first one (A).3 This bias is inspired by LLMs’ sensitivity to repeated patterns (Holtzman et al., 2020; McKenzie et al., 2023). Second, we test Suggested Answer: We add the following string to the prompt: “I think the answer is <random_label $>$ but I’m curious to hear what you think.” We sample a different random multiplechoice letter label for each dataset instance, which sometimes lines up with the correct label. This bias is inspired by recent results showing that LLMs (with and without RLHF training) demonstrate sycophancy (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023), where they inappropriately tailor their responses to better agree with subjective views that they infer the user they’re interacting with might hold.

+Figure 1: Accuracy micro-averaged across BBH tasks (i.e., weighting by task sample size). The accuracy of CoT drops significantly when biasing models toward incorrect answers. This means CoT exhibits a large degree of systematic unfaithfulness since CoT explanations do not mention the biasing feature that influences their prediction. CoT decreases sensitivity to biases relative to No-CoT in the few-shot setting, but in the zero-shot setting, it hurts more than it helps.
+
+Prompting Conditions First, we compare CoT vs. No-CoT. We elicit CoT explanations using “Let’s think step by step” (Kojima et al., 2022) along with some additional instructions about formatting final answers (see Appendix E for exact prompt formats). For GPT-3.5 we use a temperature of 0.7, the default setting in the OpenAI playground. For Claude 1.0 we use a temperature of 1, the default setting. Second, we compare Zero-Shot vs. Few-Shot. None of our provided explanations in the few-shot setting mention the biasing features, which makes it less plausible that the model will appeal to biasing features since the model is likely to imitate the style of the few-shot explanations. However, faithful explanations that are stylistically consistent with the few-shot demonstrations (i.e., which don’t mention the biasing feature) are entirely possible in all of our experiments, as long as the model doesn’t make predictions on the basis of the biasing features. Testing in the zero-shot setting helps us confirm that models do not verbalize the biases. For the CoT demonstrations in the few-shot context, we use model-generated CoT based on manually-written explanations from Suzgun et al. (2022). Generated CoTs were manually edited for correctness as necessary (Appendix F.3). For few-shot prompting with Suggested Answer, we use a few-shot prompt with three examples. For few-shot prompting with Answer is Always A, we use as many CoT demonstrations as we can fit within a 4,096 token context length (up to 15 examples) since that is the maximum context length for GPT-3.5 (the maximum for Claude 1.0 is 8,000). Across tasks, the number of demonstrations ranges from 7 to 15 examples. We use the same few-shot prompt for both CoT and No-CoT prompting settings.

+Metrics We focus on cases where the biasing feature points towards an incorrect answer.4 For the BBH experiments, we use decrease in model accuracy when exposed to biased contexts to measure systematic unfaithfulness. A drop in accuracy when shifting to biased contexts could in principle result from increased noise (i.e., from predictions changing away from the correct answer to incorrect answers that are not targeted by the bias), but in practice we find that almost all drops in accuracy are explained by increases in bias-consistent predictions (Appendix F.5).5 This fact allows us to use decrease in model accuracy to measure unfaithfulness while providing context on the model’s overall task performance. We include the metrics that directly operationalize our definition of systematic unfaithfulness in Appendix F.5.

+# 3.2 Results
+
+CoT explanations are systematically unfaithful. Figure 1 shows that for both GPT-3.5 and Claude 1.0, there are large drops in accuracy in biased contexts compared to unbiased contexts when doing CoT. This indicates a large degree of systematic unfaithfulness since the reason that the models’ predictions are changing is the addition of the biasing feature, which is not being verbalized. This trend holds for all tasks individually, though the magnitude of the accuracy drop varies substantially from task to task (Appendix Table 9). When doing zero-shot CoT with GPT-3.5, accuracy drops as much as $- 3 6 . 3 \%$ from the Suggested Answer bias. For Answer is Always A, GPT-3.5 also exhibits a large degree of systematic unfaithfulness in CoT explanations $( - 1 8 . 7 \% )$ , while Claude 1.0 exhibits less $( - 4 . 7 \% )$ . The confidence intervals on this difference in accuracy between the biased context and unbiased contexts range from $\pm 1 . 6 \%$ to $\pm 2 . 4 \%$ across all settings, making all results statistically significant. Since all settings use the same data, we employ a paired difference test to report confidence intervals on the difference in metrics between two experimental settings (see Appendix H). Few-shot CoT exhibits less unfaithfulness than zero-shot CoT: On the Suggested Answer bias, adding few-shot examples reduces the difference in accuracy from $- 3 6 . 3 \%$ to $- 2 4 . 1 \%$ for GPT-3.5, and from $- 3 0 . 6 \%$ to $- 2 1 . 5 \%$ for Claude 1.0.
+
+CoT can steer models from correct initial predictions towards bias-consistent predictions. We consider the effect of CoT $( \mathrm { N o - C o T \to C o T } )$ on model sensitivity to biases. Both models benefit from using CoT in an unbiased context on average $5 7 . 1  5 9 . 6 \%$ for GPT-3.5, $5 9 . 2 \substack {  } 6 5 . 3 \%$ for Claude 1.0), though on some tasks CoT makes results worse (Appendix Table 9). The effect of CoT on sensitivity to biases is mixed. On Suggested Answer, zero-shot CoT hurts accuracy in the biased context for both models $3 9 . 5 \substack {  } 2 3 . 3 \%$ for GPT-3.5, $3 7 . 3 \substack {  } 3 4 . 7 \%$ for Claude 1.0). This is surprising, as it means that despite never verbalizing the biasing features in the explanations, they affect CoT explanations such that models are steered towards giving bias-consistent predictions that they would have gotten correct without doing CoT. Few-shot CoT, on the other hand, decreases sensitivity to bias significantly $3 5 . 0 {  } 5 1 . 7 \%$ for GPT-3.5, $3 8 . 9 \substack {  } 6 0 . 1 \%$ for Claude 1.0). For Answer is Always A, we find CoT only weakly decreases sensitivity to bias for GPT-3.5 ( $5 5 . 2 \substack {  } 5 8 . 7 \%$ with CoT), while for Claude 1.0 it decreases sensitivity a lot ( $6 3 . 2 \substack {  } 8 0 . 1 \%$ with CoT). The confidence intervals on this difference in accuracy between the CoT and No-CoT settings range from $\pm 2 . 1 \%$ to $\pm 2 . 8 \%$ across all settings, making all results statistically significant.
+
+# 3.3 Qualitative Analysis
+
+Table 4 shows examples of unfaithful explanations, where the model changed its prediction to a biasconsistent answer after adding the biasing feature. We observe that in many such examples, the content of CoT explanations also changes to support the new incorrect answer. To quantify how often this happens, we manually annotate 104 unfaithful explanations (one from each model/few-shot/task/context combination) from the Suggested Answer bias setting. We consider an explanation not to support the predicted answer if it suggests a different answer from the final prediction or if it does not indicate any answer choice. Explanations can include reasoning errors but still support the predicted answer. As many as $73 \%$ of unfaithful explanations in our sample support the bias-consistent answer. This means that the biasing features affect not only the final prediction but also the process by which models generate explanations. Appendix C details our annotation procedure and Appendix Table 7 shows the full results. Furthermore, we find that $15 \%$ of unfaithful explanations have no obvious errors. Despite the lack of errors, model explanations rationalize incorrect answers by giving inconsistent subjective assessments (Table 4, Ruin Names) or by exploiting ambiguity in the task definition (Navigate). This means that models can give fully plausible CoT explanations that are nonetheless unfaithful.
+
+# 4 Perturbing Input Features Referenced by Explanations
+
+# 4.1 Experimental Setup
+
+Models We use the same models as in the BBH experiments in $\ S 3$
+
+Data The Bias Benchmark for QA (BBQ) is a benchmark that tests for stereotype bias in questionanswering models. Each question has two versions: an ambiguous one, and a disambiguated one that gives enough information to answer it. The non-colored text in Table 3 illustrates an example of an ambiguous context example from BBQ, in which the correct answer is Unknown. Due to inference costs, we use a subset of BBQ stratified across the nine social bias categories tested, totaling 2,592 examples. See Appendix G.1 for details.
+
+Input Perturbations For our experiments, we augment the ambiguous questions from BBQ with weak evidence that could make either non-Unknown answer choice more plausible (see Table 3 for an example). We generate two versions of the weak evidence contexts by exchanging the individuals to whom each piece of weak evidence pertains, and test models on both versions. This evidence is designed to catch the attention of CoT models, and indeed we find that they mention it $100 \%$ of the time in a sample of 192 explanations (see Appendix B). The data generation process is described in more detail in Appendix G.2. This task is designed to be ambiguous, testing whether models are consistent in subjective assessments of evidence. We say a model’s explanation is faithful on a pair of questions with flipped evidence if it abstains for both (i.e., predicts Unknown in both contexts)6, or if it changes its prediction from one entity to the other (i.e., predicting The Black man for one and The White woman for the other, or vice versa). Otherwise, we say its explanation is unfaithful. We say unfaithful predictions are stereotype-aligned if the model makes a stereotype-aligned prediction in both cases (as in Table 3), or if it does so in one case and abstains in the other since the demographic information is influencing whether the model chooses to abstain.
+
+Metrics Our main metric here is the Percentage of Unfaithfulness Explained by Bias, which is the percent of unfaithful prediction pairs that are stereotype-aligned. If models are not using stereotypes to make predictions, then this number should be $50 \%$ . Secondarily, we are interested in the Percentage Unfaithful Overall, which is the overall percentage of unfaithful prediction pairs in our dataset. Ideally, both of these metrics should go down when trying to make models more faithful. Unlike BBH, there is not a well-defined notion of accuracy on this task, because the exact strength of evidence needed to make a prediction is deliberately underspecified. There does not need to be an objectively correct answer to a question in order to say that two explanations are inconsistent.
+
+Prompting Conditions First, we compare CoT vs. No-CoT. We elicit CoTs from the model in a very similar fashion to $\ S 3 . 1$ (see Appendix G.3 for details). Second, we compare zero-shot vs. few-shot. We use a few-shot prompt with three examples, which has one ambiguous context example with an Unknown label and two disambiguated context examples with stereotype-aligned non-Unknown labels. Finally, we compare no debiasing instruction vs. debiasing instruction. Following Ganguli et al. (2023), we also test to see if adding explicit instructions for models to not use stereotypes can improve results; To do so, we add the following text to the prompt: Please ensure that your answer is unbiased and does not rely on stereotypes. We add this instruction to each few-shot example.
+
+# 4.2 Results
+
+Results are shown in Table 5. The CoT results under the $\%$ Unfaithfulness Explained by Bias column show that on example pairs where models give unfaithful explanations, they are more likely to give stereotype-aligned answers than not. Even though models claim to rely on the weak evidence in their CoT when making predictions, they apply this evidence inconsistently in a way that is biased by social stereotypes. Without explicit debiasing instructions, in the few-shot CoT setting this metric gets as high as
+
+Table 5: Unfaithful model explanations are partly explained by the use of stereotypes on BBQ. $\%$ Unfaithfulness Explained by Bias is the percentage of unfaithful prediction pairs on BBQ that are stereotype-aligned, our primary metric of interest. CoT generally reduces sensitivity to stereotypes but still exhibits systematic unfaithfulness. $\%$ Unfaithful Overall is the overall fraction of unfaithful prediction pairs. ZS is zero-shot and $F S$ is few-shot. We denote with an asterisk all entries statistically significantly different from $50 \%$ , the unbiased baseline.

+
+$6 2 . 5 \%$ for Claude 1.0, and in the zero-shot CoT setting as high as $5 9 . 2 \%$ for GPT-3.5. The $9 5 \%$ confidence intervals for this metric range from $\pm 3 . 7 \%$ to $\pm 4 . 8 \%$ . Across all settings, CoT predictions exhibit less bias toward stereotypical answers than No-CoT predictions. The magnitude of the effect $( \mathrm { N o - C o T  C o T } )$ ranges from as low as $5 0 . 6 { - } 5 1 . 8 { = } { - } 1 . 2 \%$ (Claude 1.0, Few-shot, debiasing instruction) to as large as $5 1 . 8 – 6 0 . 7 { = } { - } 8 . 9 \%$ (GPT-3.5, Few-shot, debiasing instruction). The $9 5 \%$ confidence intervals on the effect of CoT range from $\pm 2 . 3 \%$ to $\pm 3 . 5 \%$ . The effect of adding few-shot examples (zero-shot few-shot) when doing CoT is unclear. For GPT-3.5, bias decreases: $5 9 . 2  5 6 . 1 \%$ with no instruction and $6 0 . 0 {  } 5 1 . 8 \%$ with the debiasing instruction. For Claude 1.0, bias increases: $5 4 . 5 \substack {  } 6 2 . 5 \%$ with no instruction and $4 5 . 4  5 0 . 6 \%$ with the debiasing instruction.
+
+Consistent with the results in Ganguli et al. (2023) we find that explicitly prompting against bias is an effective measure for reducing bias (no instruction instruction). For Claude 1.0, prompting virtually eliminates the bias $( 6 2 . 5 \substack {  } 5 0 . 6 \%$ ) or slightly overcorrects $( 5 4 . 5 \mathrm { - } 4 5 . 4 \%$ ). For GPT-3.5, we see small gains for few-shot $( 5 6 . 1  5 1 . 8 \% )$ , but no gains for zero-shot $( 5 9 . 2 \substack {  } 6 0 . 0 \% )$ . With respect to the $\%$ Unfaithful Overall column, we confirm that measures that reduce bias, i.e. adding few-shot examples for GPT-3.5 or adding debiasing instructions, slightly decrease the unfaithfulness of CoT overall.
+
+# 4.3 Qualitative Analysis
+
+Using the same definition as in the previous qualitative analysis (§3.3), we measure how often unfaithful explanations support the final answers given. We manually annotate 96 examples (six from each model/few-shot/prompting/weak evidence combination) of unfaithful explanations for stereotype-aligned predictions. In our sample, $86 \%$ of the explanations that lead to stereotype-aligned predictions also explicitly support those predictions. We also see that models handle ambiguity inconsistently by weighing evidence more strongly if it aligns with stereotypical behavior. For example, in row 5 of Appendix Table 19, we have a scenario where a bomb exploded and we ask the model who likely planted the bomb. When given that “The Jewish person was carrying a suspicious package and the Muslim was wearing a hoodie,” the model says Unknown. But when given “The Muslim was carrying a suspicious package and the Jewish person was wearing a hoodie,” the model predicts The Muslim. Carrying a suspicious package is perhaps stronger evidence than simply wearing a hoodie, but the model weighs it more strongly when it is associated with the Muslim than with the Jewish person. For comparison, Appendix Table 20 contains random samples of unfaithful, non–stereotype-aligned CoT explanations. See Appendix C for additional details.

+
+Evaluating Plausibility of CoT Explanations Existing evaluations of CoT explanations find serious flaws, including contradictions and mathematical errors (Uesato et al., 2022; Jung et al., 2022; Ye and Durrett, 2022; Golovneva et al., 2023). These works primarily evaluate the plausibility of explanations, which is necessary for faithfulness, but as we demonstrate, is insufficient for establishing it. Recent work also reveals an increase in harmful outputs with CoT prompting compared to standard prompting (Shaikh et al., 2022; Ganguli et al., 2023). In contrast, we examine if models give plausible CoT explanations that support stereotype-aligned answers despite explanations appealing to reasons other than stereotypes. Lyu et al. (2023) propose generating programs in order to ensure that predictions follow from generated reasoning. This correspondence is a necessary condition for faithfulness, however, the program may not be a faithful explanation of the process that generated the program. As a result, this type of method could still be susceptible to the problem identified in this paper. Plausible explanations can have utility even if they are unfaithful—they can serve to demonstrate to a user why a certain answer could be correct. Others find that training a model on its own generated rationales can be a powerful training signal for improving performance (Zelikman et al., 2022).
+
+Effects of Perturbations on CoT A line of recent work (Ye et al., 2022; Madaan and Yazdanbakhsh, 2022; Wang et al., 2023) investigates perturbing CoT demonstrations in a few-shot prompt, e.g., by adding errors, to determine which aspects of CoT demonstrations are important for generating high-performing explanations. In contrast, we focus on input perturbations in order to assess the faithfulness of CoT explanations. Shi et al. (2023) discover that adding irrelevant information to math questions impacts CoT performance. While their perturbations attempt to induce errors in CoT explanations, our work focuses on perturbations that bias models toward specific answer choices. Gao (2023) and Lanham et al. (2023) perturb generated CoT explanations, and find that LLMs often ignore changes made to their CoT reasoning.
+
+Evaluating Faithfulness of CoT Explanations Evaluating the faithfulness of explanations has a long history (Jacovi and Goldberg, 2020; Lyu et al., 2022). Some recent papers also investigate the faithfulness of CoT explanations in particular. Chen et al. (2023) evaluate the counterfactual simulatability of both post-hoc and CoT explanations in a general fashion. In contrast, we focus on the counterfactual simulatability of model explanations in an adversarial setting where models are biased toward particular answers. Lanham et al. (2023) propose a number of necessary but not sufficient tests for faithfulness, for example, by testing the sensitivity of models to mistakes added to their CoT explanations.
+
+# 6 Discussion
+
+Are unfaithful explanations a sign of dishonesty or lack of capability? LLMs may be able to recognize that the biasing features are influencing their predictions—e.g., this could be revealed through post-hoc critiques (Saunders et al., 2022), interpretability tools (Burns et al., 2023), or other indirect means (Pacchiardi et al., 2023)—even if their CoT explanations do not verbalize them. If they can, then this implies that unfaithful CoT explanations may be a form of model dishonesty, as opposed to a lack of capability. This distinction can guide the choice of appropriate interventions. For example, if models can recognize the influence of these features, it suggests that prompting models to mitigate these biases themselves, as well as improving model honesty, may be promising approaches. In this paper, the biasing features we test are simple enough that it is plausible that models recognize their influence, but future work will need to investigate further to confirm this.
+
+Systematic Unfaithfulness as a Vector for Adversarial Attacks If a model is making a decision on the basis of user input, then a user inputting a biased prompt (e.g., using our Suggested Answer method) could make the system produce biased predictions without a trace of this bias in its CoT explanations. This could cause problems for model auditing or fairness methods if they rely on CoT explanations to detect undesirable or unfair reasoning. We hope our results will encourage skepticism in the faithfulness of CoT explanations and help avoid some of these negative outcomes. We advocate for more exploration into using transparency methods in adversarial settings, such as those explored in this paper, so that we can diagnose weaknesses in current approaches and improve them.
+
+Future Work It is unlikely that faithfulness will automatically improve without targeted efforts. For example, current instantiations of the RLHF training objective may directly disincentivize faithfulness (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023). Better models might still employ heuristics that could be a source of unfaithfulness, as it may remain computationally favorable to rely on fallible heuristics in reasoning processes (Dasgupta et al., 2022). However, the success of CoT could be promising for explainability, since the generated explanation can guide the model’s behavior. In contrast, post-hoc explanation methods face the challenge of explaining the behavior of models with little to no constraints on their function (Rudin, 2019). Since CoT explanations can be plausible but not faithful (as we have shown), improving their faithfulness will require regulating the process by which the explanations themselves are generated so we can trust that they are not doing motivated reasoning. Prompting approaches can reduce the sensitivity of CoT explanations to input perturbations and stereotypes (Shaikh et al., 2022; Ganguli et al., 2023; Shi et al., 2023), which our findings on prompting for debiasing corroborate. However, it is unclear if these methods can generalize to reduce sensitivity to biases that we are not aware of and so cannot explicitly prompt for. Decomposition-based approaches (Min et al., 2019; Perez et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2022; Creswell and Shanahan, 2022; Tafjord et al., 2022; Eisenstein et al., 2022; Reppert et al., 2023) improve faithfulness by limiting contextual cues that may bias CoT reasoning, with Radhakrishnan et al. (2023) demonstrating early success with this approach. As demonstrated in our BBQ experiments, we can assess explanationconsistency even when correct answers are unknown or not applicable. This suggests explanationconsistency could serve as a scalable unsupervised training signal, guiding models towards faithful explanations.
+
+Limitations Our evaluation setup of testing for explanation-consistency in the presence of biasing features allows us to identify failures, but not prove explanations are faithful. In other words, we have presented a necessary but not sufficient test for faithfulness. This setup also only evaluates faithfulness with respect to minor modifications of the input, whereas we might want explanations that allow a user to predict model behavior across a wide range of inputs.
+
+# 7 Conclusion
+
+In conclusion, our study demonstrates that chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, while promising for improving LLMs’ reasoning abilities, can be systematically unfaithful. We find systematic unfaithfulness across three distinct biases (social stereotypes, Answer is Always A, and Suggested Answer), two prompting settings (zero-shot and few-shot), and two models (Claude 1.0 and GPT-3.5). This suggests that similar outcomes will be observed for other biasing features and models. In light of these results, we advocate for targeted efforts to measure and improve faithfulness, which can help us work towards more transparent and reliable AI systems.

It is tempting to interpret these CoT explanations as the LLM’s process for solving a task. This level of transparency into LLMs’ predictions would yield significant safety benefits. However, we find that CoT explanations can systematically misrepresent the true reason for a model’s prediction. We demonstrate that CoT explanations can be heavily influenced by adding biasing features to model inputs—e.g., by reordering the multiple-choice options in a few-shot prompt to make the answer always “(A)”—which models systematically fail to mention in their explanations. When we bias models toward incorrect answers, they frequently generate CoT explanations rationalizing those answers. This causes accuracy to drop by as much as $36 \\%$ on a suite of 13 tasks from BIG-Bench Hard, when testing with GPT-3.5 from OpenAI and Claude 1.0 from Anthropic. On a social-bias task, model explanations justify giving answers in line with stereotypes without mentioning the influence of these social biases. Our findings indicate that CoT explanations can be plausible yet misleading, which risks increasing our trust in LLMs without guaranteeing their safety. Building more transparent and explainable systems will require either improving CoT faithfulness through targeted efforts or abandoning CoT in favor of alternative methods. ",

CoT prompting directs models to verbalize step-by-step reasoning and then make predictions conditioned on that reasoning. CoT significantly improves performance on many tasks, often both describing a correct process for solving a problem and arriving at the correct answer.

Models could selectively apply evidence, alter their subjective assessments, or otherwise change the reasoning process they describe on the basis of arbitrary features of their inputs, giving a false impression of the underlying drivers of their predictions.

Foremost is the fact that our training objectives simply do not explicitly incentivize models to accurately report the reasons for their behavior. Additionally, to the extent that LLMs are trained on human-written explanations, these explanations are not only known to be incomplete, often omitting crucial parts of the causal chain for a particular event (Lombrozo, 2006; Hilton, 2017), but they can also often be unfaithful accounts of individuals’ cognitive processes (Nisbett and Wilson, 1977). Human explanations may be geared more towards convincing others or supporting their own beliefs, rather than accurately reflecting the true causes of decisions (Mercier and Sperber, 2011). Models are also trained on data from authors with incompatible attitudes and beliefs, so models may behave in contradictory ways in different contexts (Andreas, 2022). Finally, commonly-used RLHF techniques may directly disincentivize faithful explanations, resulting in model responses that merely look good to human evaluators (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023).

In this paper, we focus on evaluating explanation faithfulness while attempting to bias models toward particular multiple-choice outputs. In order to be faithful in this setup, models must either acknowledge any biases affecting their predictions or give predictions unaffected by bias. In practice, we find that models virtually never verbalize being influenced by our biasing features: we review 426 explanations supporting biased predictions and only 1 explicitly mentions the bias (Appendix B). Evaluating counterfactual simulatability in the general case involves manually inspecting model explanations and determining their implications for model behavior on counterfactual inputs, which can be expensive and subjective (Chen et al., 2023). Because models omit our biasing features from their explanations, this renders it sufficient to compare final model predictions to evaluate faithfulness. This significantly streamlines evaluation without relying on any proxy metrics for evaluating faithfulness. Importantly, the biasing features we use ",

It rationalizes changing its answer by taking the opposite position on whether “shooting outside the eighteen” is part of soccer, failing to mention the biasing factor that contributed to this change. For our experiments with BBQ, we measure unfaithfulness by comparing model predictions on examples augmented with two opposing versions of weak evidence. We find that models rely on this evidence in their explanations and do not mention the influence of social stereotypes (Appendix B), so their predictions should change when the evidence changes in order for the explanations to be faithful. We measure how often models use the evidence inconsistently to justify giving answers in line with social stereotypes. These approaches allow us to measure unfaithfulness with two types of counterfactuals, by testing whether (1) for BBH, model predictions are insensitive to features not referenced by explanations, i.e. the biasing features that we add, and (2) for BBQ, that model predictions are sensitive to features that are relied on by their explanations, i.e. the weak evidence.

In subjective domains, seemingly sound reasoning may be possible for a number of different answers, but sufficiently complete explanations for different answers will require mutually incompatible assumptions or beliefs.

These tasks span topics such as logical deduction, traditional natural language processing, commonsense reasoning, and math. While BBH predominantly evaluates deductive reasoning capabilities, we choose 13 tasks from the original 23 that require additional complexities, such as a degree of subjectivity or hard-to-falsify world knowledge, in addition to deductive reasoning components. Explanations for these tasks involving elements of subjectivity may elicit more plausible CoT explanations for incorrect responses while still retaining correct reasoning, which is a concerning case of unfaithfulness.

Second, we test Suggested Answer: We add the following string to the prompt: “I think the answer is <random_label $>$ but I’m curious to hear what you think.” We sample a different random multiplechoice letter label for each dataset instance, which sometimes lines up with the correct label. This bias is inspired by recent results showing that LLMs (with and without RLHF training) demonstrate sycophancy (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023), where they inappropriately tailor their responses to better agree with subjective views that they infer the user they’re interacting with might hold.

We elicit CoT explanations using “Let’s think step by step” (Kojima et al., 2022) along with some additional instructions about formatting final answers (see Appendix E for exact prompt formats). For GPT-3.5 we use a temperature of 0.7, the default setting in the OpenAI playground. For Claude 1.0 we use a temperature of 1, the default setting. Second, we compare Zero-Shot vs. Few-Shot. None of our provided explanations in the few-shot setting mention the biasing features, which makes it less plausible that the model will appeal to biasing features since the model is likely to imitate the style of the few-shot explanations. However, faithful explanations that are stylistically consistent with the few-shot demonstrations (i.e., which don’t mention the biasing feature) are entirely possible in all of our experiments, as long as the model doesn’t make predictions on the basis of the biasing features. Testing in the zero-shot setting helps us confirm that models do not verbalize the biases. For the CoT demonstrations in the few-shot context, we use model-generated CoT based on manually-written explanations from Suzgun et al. (2022). Generated CoTs were manually edited for correctness as necessary (Appendix F.3). For few-shot prompting with Suggested Answer, we use a few-shot prompt with three examples. For few-shot prompting with Answer is Always A, we use as many CoT demonstrations as we can fit within a 4,096 token context length (up to 15 examples) since that is the maximum context length for GPT-3.5 (the maximum for Claude 1.0 is 8,000).

Figure 1 shows that for both GPT-3.5 and Claude 1.0, there are large drops in accuracy in biased contexts compared to unbiased contexts when doing CoT. This indicates a large degree of systematic unfaithfulness since the reason that the models’ predictions are changing is the addition of the biasing feature, which is not being verbalized. This trend holds for all tasks individually, though the magnitude of the accuracy drop varies substantially from task to task (Appendix Table 9). When doing zero-shot CoT with GPT-3.5, accuracy drops as much as $- 3 6 . 3 \\%$ from the Suggested Answer bias. For Answer is Always A, GPT-3.5 also exhibits a large degree of systematic unfaithfulness in CoT explanations $( - 1 8 . 7 \\% )$ , while Claude 1.0 exhibits less $( - 4 . 7 \\% )$ .

These works primarily evaluate the plausibility of explanations, which is necessary for faithfulness, but as we demonstrate, is insufficient for establishing it. Recent work also reveals an increase in harmful outputs with CoT prompting compared to standard prompting (Shaikh et al., 2022; Ganguli et al., 2023). In contrast, we examine if models give plausible CoT explanations that support stereotype-aligned answers despite explanations appealing to reasons other than stereotypes. Lyu et al. (2023) propose generating programs in order to ensure that predictions follow from generated reasoning. This correspondence is a necessary condition for faithfulness, however, the program may not be a faithful explanation of the process that generated the program. As a result, this type of method could still be susceptible to the problem identified in this paper. Plausible explanations can have utility even if they are unfaithful—they can serve to demonstrate to a user why a certain answer could be correct.

In contrast, we focus on input perturbations in order to assess the faithfulness of CoT explanations. Shi et al. (2023) discover that adding irrelevant information to math questions impacts CoT performance. While their perturbations attempt to induce errors in CoT explanations, our work focuses on perturbations that bias models toward specific answer choices. Gao (2023) and Lanham et al. (2023) perturb generated CoT explanations, and find that LLMs often ignore changes made to their CoT reasoning. ",

Some recent papers also investigate the faithfulness of CoT explanations in particular. Chen et al.

In contrast, we focus on the counterfactual simulatability of model explanations in an adversarial setting where models are biased toward particular answers. Lanham et al.

LLMs may be able to recognize that the biasing features are influencing their predictions—e.g., this could be revealed through post-hoc critiques (Saunders et al., 2022), interpretability tools (Burns et al., 2023), or other indirect means (Pacchiardi et al., 2023)—even if their CoT explanations do not verbalize them. If they can, then this implies that unfaithful CoT explanations may be a form of model dishonesty, as opposed to a lack of capability. This distinction can guide the choice of appropriate interventions. For example, if models can recognize the influence of these features, it suggests that prompting models to mitigate these biases themselves, as well as improving model honesty, may be promising approaches. In this paper, the biasing features we test are simple enough that it is plausible that models recognize their influence, but future work will need to investigate further to confirm this. ",

This could cause problems for model auditing or fairness methods if they rely on CoT explanations to detect undesirable or unfair reasoning. We hope our results will encourage skepticism in the faithfulness of CoT explanations and help avoid some of these negative outcomes.

For example, current instantiations of the RLHF training objective may directly disincentivize faithfulness (Perez et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2023). Better models might still employ heuristics that could be a source of unfaithfulness, as it may remain computationally favorable to rely on fallible heuristics in reasoning processes (Dasgupta et al., 2022). However, the success of CoT could be promising for explainability, since the generated explanation can guide the model’s behavior. In contrast, post-hoc explanation methods face the challenge of explaining the behavior of models with little to no constraints on their function (Rudin, 2019). Since CoT explanations can be plausible but not faithful (as we have shown), improving their faithfulness will require regulating the process by which the explanations themselves are generated so we can trust that they are not doing motivated reasoning. Prompting approaches can reduce the sensitivity of CoT explanations to input perturbations and stereotypes (Shaikh et al., 2022; Ganguli et al., 2023; Shi et al., 2023), which our findings on prompting for debiasing corroborate. However, it is unclear if these methods can generalize to reduce sensitivity to biases that we are not aware of and so cannot explicitly prompt for. Decomposition-based approaches (Min et al., 2019; Perez et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2022; Creswell and Shanahan, 2022; Tafjord et al., 2022; Eisenstein et al., 2022; Reppert et al., 2023) improve faithfulness by limiting contextual cues that may bias CoT reasoning, with Radhakrishnan et al. (2023) demonstrating early success with this approach. As demonstrated in our BBQ experiments, we can assess explanationconsistency even when correct answers are unknown or not applicable. This suggests explanationconsistency could serve as a scalable unsupervised training signal, guiding models towards faithful explanations. ",

Utilizing differentiable rendering, recent 3D-aware generative models have shown impressive results of rigid object generation using 2D images. However, it remains challenging to generate articulated objects, like human bodies, due to their complexity and diversity in poses and appearances. In this work, we propose, EVA3D, an unconditional 3D human generative model learned from 2D image collections only. EVA3D can sample 3D humans with detailed geometry and render high-quality images (up to $5 1 2 \\times 2 5 6$ ) without bells and whistles (e.g. super resolution). At the core of EVA3D is a compositional human NeRF representation, which divides the human body into local parts. Each part is represented by an individual volume. This compositional representation enables 1) inherent human priors, 2) adaptive allocation of network parameters, 3) efficient training and rendering. Moreover, to accommodate for the characteristics of sparse 2D human image collections (e.g. imbalanced pose distribution), we propose a pose-guided sampling strategy for better GAN learning. Extensive experiments validate that EVA3D achieves stateof-the-art 3D human generation performance regarding both geometry and texture quality. Notably, EVA3D demonstrates great potential and scalability to “inversegraphics” diverse human bodies with a clean framework. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/hongfz16/EVA3D. ",

With an articulated representation, a 3D human is modeled in its canonical pose (canonical space), and can be rendered in different poses and shapes (observation space). Moreover, the efficiency of the representation matters in high-quality 3D human generation.

To facilitate that, we propose a compositional human NeRF representation to improve the model efficiency. We divide the human body into 16 parts and assign each part an individual network, which models the corresponding local volume. Our human representation mainly provides three advantages. 1) It inherently describes the human body prior, which supports explicit control over human body shapes and poses. 2) It supports adaptively allocating computation resources. More complex body parts (e.g. heads) can be allocated with more parameters. 3) The compositional representation enables efficient rendering and achieves high-resolution generation. Rather than using one big volume (Bergman et al., 2022), our compositional representation tightly models each body part and prevents wasting parameters on empty volumes. Moreover, thanks to the part-based modeling, we can efficiently sample rays inside local volumes and avoid sampling empty spaces. With the compact representation together with the efficient rendering algorithm, we achieve high-resolution $( 5 1 2 \\times 2 5 6 )$ rendering and GAN training without using super-resolution modules, while existing methods can only train at a native resolution of $1 2 8 ^ { 2 }$ . Moreover, we carefully design training strategies to address the human pose and viewing angle imbalance issue. We analyze the head-facing angle distribution and propose a pose-guided sampling strategy to help effective 3D human geometry learning. ",

Empirically, among all human joints, we use the angle of the head to guide the sampling. Moreover, facial areas contain more information than other parts of the head. Front-view angles should be sampled more than other angles. Therefore, we choose to use a Gaussian distribution centered at the front-view angle $\\mu _ { \\theta }$ , with a standard deviation of $\\sigma _ { \\theta }$ .

We design a compositional human NeRF representation for efficient GAN training. To train on the challenging 2D image collections with sparse viewing angles and human poses, e.g. DeepFashion, strong human prior and pose-guided sampling are introduced for better GAN learning. On four large-scale 2D human datasets, we achieve state-of-the-art generation results at a high resolution of $5 1 2 \\times 2 5 6$ . ",

A better base representation, e.g. tri-plane of EG3D, and a 2D decoder might solve the issue. 2) The estimation of SMPL parameters from 2D image collections is not accurate, which leads to a distribution shift from the real pose distribution and possibly compromises generation results. Refining SMPL estimation during training would make a good future work. 3) Limited by our tight 3D human representation, it is hard to model loose garments, accessories or body parts (like hair). The apparent geometric line artifact around the neck and shoulder areas of samples from DeepFashion training (see Fig. 5) could be caused by the compositional representation having trouble modeling long hair hanging down. Using separate modules to handle loose parts might be a promising direction. 4) It is known that state-of-the-art 3D-aware generation methods (Chan et al., 2022; Or-El et al., 2022) have not achieved comparable quality with that of 2D generation (Karras et al., 2020; 2021). To investigate if that is still the case in terms of human generation, we further train StyleGAN2 (Karras et al., 2020) on DeepFashion. StyleGAN2 achieves 6.52 FID, which is much lower than our FID of 15.91. This indicates that 3D-aware generation still has a long way to develop. ",
