While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting boosts Language Models’ (LM) performance on a gamut of complex reasoning tasks, the generated reasoning chain does not necessarily reflect how the model arrives at the answer (aka. faithfulness). We propose Faithful CoT, a faithful-by-construction framework that decomposes a reasoning task into two stages: Translation (Natural Language query $\rightarrow$ symbolic reasoning chain) and Problem Solving (reasoning chain $\rightarrow$ answer), using an LM and a deterministic solver respectively. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on 10 reasoning datasets from 4 diverse domains. It outperforms traditional CoT prompting on 9 out of the 10 datasets, with an average accuracy gain of 4.4 on Math Word Problems, 1.9 on Planning, 4.0 on Multi-hop Question Answering (QA), and 18.1 on Logical Inference, under greedy decoding. Together with self-consistency decoding, we achieve new state-of-the-art few-shot performance on 7 out of the 10 datasets, showing a strong synergy between faithfulness and accuracy.

Language Quantized AutoEncoders: Towards Unsupervised Text-Image Alignment
Authors:Hao Liu, Wilson Yan, Pieter Abbeel
Recent progress in scaling up large language models has shown impressive capabilities in performing few-shot learning across a wide range of text-based tasks. However, a key limitation is that these language models fundamentally lack visual perception - a crucial attribute needed to extend these models to be able to interact with the real world and solve vision tasks, such as in visual-question answering and robotics. Prior works have largely connected image to text through pretraining and/or fine-tuning on curated image-text datasets, which can be a costly and expensive process. In order to resolve this limitation, we propose a simple yet effective approach called Language-Quantized AutoEncoder (LQAE), a modification of VQ-VAE that learns to align text-image data in an unsupervised manner by leveraging pretrained language models (e.g., BERT, RoBERTa). Our main idea is to encode image as sequences of text tokens by directly quantizing image embeddings using a pretrained language codebook. We then apply random masking followed by a BERT model, and have the decoder reconstruct the original image from BERT predicted text token embeddings. By doing so, LQAE learns to represent similar images with similar clusters of text tokens, thereby aligning these two modalities without the use of aligned text-image pairs. This enables few-shot image classification with large language models (e.g., GPT-3) as well as linear classification of images based on BERT text features. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first work that uses unaligned images for multimodal tasks by leveraging the power of pretrained language models.
