1. A Token-level Reference-free Hallucination Detection Benchmark for Free-form Text Generation (2022 · 142 citations)
   Large generative models such as GPT-3 often produce false or invented content. Most detection methods compare output against a gold reference and judge whole sentences or documents. Many free-form generation settings, such as chatbots or auto-completion, have no reference, and coarse judgments cannot locate the…
2. Explanations from Large Language Models Make Small Reasoners Better (2022 · 120 citations)
   Small language models (SLM) are cheaper to store and run than LLMs, but they fall well behind on complex reasoning.
3. RepoCoder: Repository-Level Code Completion Through Iterative Retrieval and Generation (2023 · 119 citations)
   Most code completion tools see only the current file. Useful hints such as shared helpers, API signatures and project-specific naming are spread across the rest of the repository. RepoCoder uses this wider context without fine-tuning, static analysis or hand-written rules. It cuts repository files into overlapping…
