Large language models have recently been shown to attain reasonable zero-shot generalization on a diverse set of tasks (Brown et al., 2020). It has been hypothesized that this is a consequence of implicit multitask learning in language models pretraining (Radford et al., 2019). Can zero-shot generalization instead be directly induced by explicit multitask learning? To test this question at scale, we develop a system for easily mapping any natural language tasks into a human-readable prompted form. We convert a large set of supervised datasets, each with multiple prompts with diverse wording. These prompted datasets allow for benchmarking the ability of a model to perform completely unseen tasks. We fine-tune a pretrained encoder-decoder model (Raffel et al., 2020; Lester et al., 2021) on this multitask mixture covering a wide variety of tasks. The model attains strong zero-shot performance on several standard datasets, often outperforming models up to 16 its size. Further, our approach attains strong performance on a subset of tasks from the BIG-bench benchmark, outperforming models up to 6 its size. All trained models are available at https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/t-zero, and all prompts are available at https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/promptsource.

1 INTRODUCTION

Recent work has shown that large language models exhibit the ability to perform reasonable zeroshot generalization to new tasks (Brown et al., 2020; Kim et al., 2021). Despite being trained on only language modeling objectives, these models can perform relatively well at new tasks that they have not been explicitly trained to perform, for instance answering a question on a passage or performing summarization. An influential hypothesis is that large language models generalize to new tasks as a

Multi-task training

Zero-shot generalization

Figure 1: Our model and prompt format. T0 is an encoder-decoder model that consumes textual inputs and produces target responses. It is trained on a multitask mixture of NLP datasets partitioned into different tasks. Each dataset is associated with multiple prompt templates that are used to format example instances to input and target pairs. Italics indicate the inserted fields from the raw example data. After training on a diverse mixture of tasks (top), our model is evaluated on zero-shot generalization to tasks that are not seen during training (bottom).

result of an implicit process of multitask learning (Radford et al., 2019). As a byproduct of learning to predict the next word, a language model is forced to learn from a mixture of implicit tasks included in their pretraining corpus. For example, by training on generic text from a web forum, a model might implicitly learn the format and structure of question answering. This gives large language models the ability to generalize to unseen tasks presented with natural language prompts, going beyond prior multitask studies on generalization to unseen datasets (Khashabi et al., 2020a; Ye et al., 2021). However, this ability requires a sufficiently large model and is sensitive to the wording of its prompts (Perez et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2021; Reynolds and Mc Donell, 2021).

Further, it is an open question how implicit this multitask learning really is. Given the scale of recent language models pretraining corpora, it is reasonable to expect that some common natural language processing (NLP) tasks would appear in an explicit form in their pretraining corpora, thereby directly training the models on those tasks. For example, there are many websites that simply contain lists of trivia questions and answers,1 which are precisely supervised training data for the task of closedbook question answering (Roberts et al., 2020). We hypothesize that such multitask supervision in pretraining plays a large role in zero-shot generalization.

In this paper, we focus on explicitly training language models in a supervised and massively multitask fashion. Our approach uses a training mixture consisting of a large set of different tasks specified in natural language prompts. Our goal is to induce a model to better generalize to unseen tasks without requiring massive scale, as well as being more robust to the wording choices of the prompts. To convert a large set of natural language tasks into prompted form, we use a simple templating language for structured datasets. We develop an interface for prompt collection from public contributors that facilitated the collection of a large multitask mixture with multiple prompts per dataset (Bach et al., 2022). We then train a variant of the T5 encoder-decoder model (Raffel et al., 2020; Lester et al., 2021) on a subset of the tasks (each with multiple datasets) and then evaluate tasks and prompts that the model was not trained on.

Our experiments study two questions. First, does multitask prompted training improve generalization to unseen tasks? Second, does training on a wider range of prompts improve robustness to prompt wording? For the first question, we find that multitask training enables zero-shot task generalization by showing that our model matches or exceeds the performance of GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020) on 9 out of 11 held-out datasets, despite being about 16 smaller. We also show that the model improves over a large baseline language model on 13 out of 14 tasks in the BIG-bench benchmark

(BIG-bench collaboration, 2021). For the second question, we find that training on more prompts per dataset consistently improves the median and decreases the variability of performance on held-out tasks. Training on prompts from a wider range of datasets also generally improves the median but does not consistently decrease the variability.

2 RELATED WORK

In this work, we distinguish implicit multitask learning in language model pretraining from explicit multitask learning (Caruana, 1997), the technique for mixing multiple tasks into a single supervised training process. Models trained with multitask learning have long been shown to have improved performance in NLP (Collobert and Weston, 2008). Since different tasks have different outputs, applying multitask learning requires a shared format, and various have been used (Hashimoto et al., 2016; Mc Cann et al., 2018). Several multitask works also explore few-shot and zero-shot generalization to new datasets with large pretrained models (e.g., Vu et al., 2020; Ye et al., 2021).

Natural language prompting is the method of reformatting NLP tasks in the format of a natural language response to natural language input. The development of text-to-text pretrained models such as T5 (Raffel et al., 2020) makes prompts a particularly useful method for multitask learning. For example, Khashabi et al. (2020a) reformat 20 question-answering datasets into a single prompt of question: ... (A)... (B)... (C)... context: ..., while later work such as Zhong et al. (2021) and Wang et al. (2021) cast a range of datasets into a single boolean QA prompt or a single NLI prompt, respectively. Although effective, these single-prompt methods typically do not generalize to new prompts or new tasks inexpressible in their fixed format.

More generally, Schick and Sch utze (2021) and Brown et al. (2020) popularized using prompts as a generic method for all NLP tasks. Mishra et al. (2021) further extend this approach to a multitask setup, training on prompts for 61 narrowly defined tasks (e.g., question generation, incorrect answer generation) adapted from 9 datasets crowdsourcing instructions, whereas we train on and measure generalization across 62 datasets and 12 tasks as traditionally defined in the NLP literature ( 3). Additionally, their prompts include labeled examples in addition to instructions, whereas we focus on zero-shot generalization. Lastly, concurrent work by Wei et al. (2021) shares a similar research question with us, although we differ in several substantive regards, e.g., prompt diversity, model scale, and held-out-task scheme. We discuss our differences in detail in Section 7.

Finally, in explaining the success of prompts, the leading hypothesis is that models learn to understand the prompts as task instructions which help them generalize to unseen tasks (Wei et al., 2021; Mishra et al., 2021; Schick and Sch utze, 2021; Brown et al., 2020). However, the extent to which this success depends on the semantic meaningfulness of the prompts has been challenged (Webson and Pavlick, 2021; Logan et al., 2021). Thus, in this work, we remain agnostic as to why prompts support generalization. We only claim that prompts serve as a natural format for multitask training which empirically supports generalization to unseen tasks.

3 MEASURING GENERALIZATION TO UNSEEN TASKS

We begin by assuming an underlying partition of NLP datasets into tasks. We use the term task to refer to a general NLP ability that is tested by a group of specific datasets. To evaluate zero-shot generalization to new tasks, we train on a subset of tasks and evaluate on a held-out group of tasks.

Unfortunately, NLP task categorization is fuzzy, particularly if one tries to isolate a unique skill. For example, many datasets evaluate commonsense knowledge, and some multitask works (e.g., Brown et al., 2020; Wei et al., 2021) define commonsense as a standalone task. However, commonsense datasets differ vastly, ranging from innate knowledge and grade-school science to DIY instructions, US cultural norms, and graduate-level theorems (see Appendix E.1 for a detailed discussion).

Noting that grouping by task is an imperfect heuristic, we err on the side of organizing our task taxonomy according to the task format as opposed to required skill based on conventions in the literature (Khashabi et al., 2020b; Vu et al., 2020; Ye et al., 2021). We collect all datasets from these papers and exclude those that are not in English (which also excludes programming languages and structured annotations such as parse trees) or if they require special domain knowledge (e.g., biomedicine). This yields 12 tasks and 62 datasets with publicly contributed prompts in our training

and evaluation mixtures (Figure 2) as of writing. All experiments use datasets in the Hugging Face datasets library (Lhoest et al., 2021).

To test zero-shot generalization, we hold out all constituent datasets of four tasks: natural language inference (NLI), coreference resolution, sentence completion, and word sense disambiguation. We choose NLI as a held-out task because humans also zero-shot generalize to NLI as an unseen task: Most humans are never explicitly trained to classify whether a premise sentence entails or contradicts a hypothesis sentence, yet they find it intuitive to perform this task without training (Williams et al., 2020). For the same reason, we also hold out coreference resolution and word sense disambiguation. We further hold out sentence completion because it is a task possibly too similar to NLI (Appendix E.2 discusses this in detail). Additionally, we do not train our main model on any datasets that Brown et al. (2020) used for evaluation, so that our main results will be a fair zero-shot comparison. We also verify that data for those tasks is not leaked through the pretraining corpus (Appendix F).

Lastly, we further evaluate on a subset of the datasets from BIG-bench, which is a recent communitydriven benchmark to create a diverse collection of difficult tasks to test the abilities of large language models. The subset of BIG-bench comprise a language-oriented selection of tasks for which the BIGbench maintainers have prepared preliminary results and which constitute text that is in-vocabulary for the T5 tokenizer (i.e. only contain English-language text without emojis or other special characters). All tasks from BIG-bench are novel tasks that were unseen in our training.

4 A UNIFIED PROMPT FORMAT

All datasets are given to our model in natural language prompted form to enable zero-shot experimentation. To facilitate writing a large collection of prompts, we develop a templating language and an application that make it easy to convert diverse datasets into prompts. We define a prompt as consisting of an input template and a target template, along with a collection of associated metadata. The templates are functions mapping a data example into natural language for the input and target sequences. Practically, the templates allow the user to mix arbitrary text with the data fields, metadata, and other code for rendering and formatting raw fields. For example, in the case of an NLI dataset, the example would include fields for Premise, Hypothesis, Label. An input template would be If {Premise} is true, is it also true that {Hypothesis}?, whereas a target template can be defined with the label choices {Choices[label]}. Here Choices is prompt-specific metadata that consists of the options yes, maybe, no corresponding to label being entailment (0), neutral (1) or contradiction (2). Other metadata documents

Figure 3: Prompt templates from the P3 prompt collection. Each dataset has multiple prompt templates consisting of an input and a target template. These use the fields of the raw data examples as well as template metadata, e.g., the left paraphrasing identification prompts use Choices, a templatelevel list variable ['Not duplicates', 'Duplicates']. These templates are materialized to produce the prompted instance shown in Figure 1. The complete set of prompt templates used in T0 is given in Appendix H.

additional properties, such as an evaluation metric. Each data example is materialized with many different prompt templates as shown in Figure 3.

To develop prompts, we built an interface for interactively writing prompts on datasets. We put out an open call in the research community for users to contribute prompts. 36 contributors affiliated with 24 institutions in 8 countries participated. Since our goal was to train a model to be robust to prompt format, and since the question of what makes a prompt effective remains unresolved (Webson and Pavlick, 2021; Logan et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2021), we encouraged contributors to be open in their style and create a diverse set of prompts. The main annotation guideline was that prompts needed to be grammatical and understandable by a fluent English speaker with no prior experience of the tasks. Additionally, prompts that required explicit counting or numerical indexing were removed in favor of natural language variants. For example, instead of predicting indices of a span extracting answers from a passage, the model is expected to copy the span s text instead. With these minimal constraints, prompt writers were encouraged to use both formal and creative prompts and various orderings of the data.

Most of the prompts correspond directly to a version of the original proposed task, although we also allow prompts that permuted the original task (for instance, generating a document from its summary). Such non-original-task prompts are included in our training mixtures for improved diversity, but they are not reported in evaluation since they deviate from the metrics and baselines reported by the original datasets.

The details of the prompting language and tool are given in Appendix D and Bach et al. (2022), and the prompts themselves are given in Appendix H. We collected prompts for English datasets, excluding ones that included potentially harmful content or non-natural language such as programming languages. We refer to this collection as the Public Pool of Prompts (P3). As of writing, P3 contains 2073 prompts for 177 datasets (11.7 prompts per dataset on average). Prompts used in experiments are all sourced from P3 except for BIG-bench, the prompts of which are provided by its maintainers.

5 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

Model At a high level, we fine-tune a pretrained model on our multi-task training mixture of natural language prompted datasets. Our model uses an encoder-decoder architecture with input text fed to the encoder and target text produced by the decoder. The model is trained to autoregressively generate the target through standard maximum likelihood training. Unlike decoder-only language models such as GPT-3, it is never trained to generate the input.

All models we trained are based on T5, a Transformer-based encoder-decoder language model pretrained with a masked language modeling-style objective on 1T tokens from C4 (Raffel et al., 2020). Since T5 s pretraining objective is generating tokens and only tokens that have been removed from the input text, it is different from the natural text generation format of prompted datasets. Therefore, we use Lester et al. (2021) s LM-adapted T5 model (referred to as T5+LM), produced by training T5 on 100B additional tokens from C4 on a standard language modeling objective.

Figure 4: Results for T0 task generalization experiments compared to GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020). Each dot is the performance of one evaluation prompt. The baseline T5+LM model is the same as T0 except without multitask prompted training. GPT-3 only reports a single prompt for each dataset.

Training Our main model, T0, is trained on the multitask mixture detailed in Section 3 and Table 5. Meanwhile, T0+ is the same model with identical hyperparameters except trained on a mixture that adds GPT-3 s evaluation datasets. Lastly, T0++ further adds Super GLUE (Wang et al., 2019a) to the training mixture (except RTE and CB), which leaves NLI and the BIG-bench tasks as the only held-out tasks.

The above T0 variants are all initialized from the 11B parameters version of T5+LM. To study the effect of scaling and to aid researchers with less resources, we also train T0 (3B), which has the same training mixture as T0 but is initialized from the 3B parameters version of T5+LM (results reported in Appendix G).

We perform checkpoint selection by choosing the checkpoint that yields the highest score on the validation splits of our training datasets. This still satisfies the true zero-shot (Perez et al., 2021) setting as we do not use any examples from any of the held-out tasks to select the best checkpoint.

We assemble our multitask training mixture by combining and shuffling all examples from all training datasets. This is equivalent to sampling from each dataset in proportion to the number of examples in the dataset. However, the number of examples in each of our training datasets varies by two orders of magnitude. We therefore follow the strategy used in Raffel et al. (2020) and treat any dataset with over 500 000 examples as having 500 000 / num templates examples for the purposes of sampling, where num templates is the number of templates created for the dataset.

We truncate input and target sequences to 1024 and 256 tokens, respectively. Following Raffel et al. (2020), we use packing to combine multiple training examples into a single sequence to reach the maximum sequence length. We use a batch size of 1024 sequences (corresponding to 220 total input tokens per batch) and the Adafactor optimizer (Shazeer and Stern, 2018). Following standard practice for fine-tuning T5, we use a learning rate of 1e-3 and a dropout rate of 0.1.

Evaluation We evaluate zero-shot generalization on 11 datasets in 4 held-out traditional NLP tasks: natural language inference, coreference, word sense disambiguation, and sentence completion, as well as 14 novel tasks from BIG-bench ( 3). Unless specified otherwise, we report performance on the validation splits. All reported datasets use accuracy as their metric.

For tasks that involve choosing the correct completion from several options (e.g. multiple choice question answering), we follow Brown et al. (2020) and use rank classification to evaluate our model: we compute the log-likelihood of each of the target options under the fine-tuned model and

The baseline models are Transformer-based language models provided by BIG-bench maintainers, who also provide one prompt per dataset.

select the option with the highest log-likelihood as the prediction. For simplicity, we do not apply length normalization to the log-likelihoods of the target options.

We do not perform prompt selection by comparing the performance of different prompts on the validation split; Perez et al. (2021) highlights how such a strategy leaks information from the evaluation splits, which makes the evaluation not true zero-shot. For a given dataset, we report the median performance across all prompts for this dataset along with their interquartile range (Q3 - Q1) to measure the model s robustness to the wording of the prompts.

6.1 GENERALIZATION TO UNSEEN TASKS

Our first research question is whether multitask prompted training improves generalization to unseen tasks. In Figure 4, we compare T0 against our T5+LM baseline on four held-out tasks. Our approach leads to significant gains over our baseline on all datasets, demonstrating the benefits of multitask prompted training over only language modeling training with an identical model and prompts.

Next, we compare T0 to the zero-shot performance of the largest language models available as of writing, i.e., various GPT-3 models up to 175B parameters. Note that Brown et al. (2020) report performance on a single prompt,2 whereas we report the median and interquartile range of performance across all prompts in P3 without cherry picking. We find that T0 matches or exceeds the performance of all GPT-3 models on 9 out of 11 held-out datasets. Notably, neither T0 nor GPT-3 is trained on natural language inference, yet T0 outperforms GPT-3 on all NLI datasets, even though our T5+LM baseline does not. The same is true for most datasets of other held-out tasks. The two exceptions are Winogrande and Hella Swag, which we discuss in Section 7.

To evaluate our models on more unseen tasks, we assess the zero-shot performance of T0, T0+, and T0++ on a subset of BIG-bench (BIG-bench collaboration, 2021). Tasks from BIG-bench cover a variety of novel skills not included in our training tasks, such as deducing the order of a sequence of objects, solving logic grid puzzles, and telling apart true statements from common misconceptions. The maintainers of BIG-bench provide a prompt for each dataset, with which we compare our models to a series of preliminary diagnostic baseline models trained by Google and evaluated by the BIG-bench maintainers. These models are decoder-only Transformer language models trained on a standard language modeling objective with varying model size. We find that at least one of the

2Our experiments in Section 6.2 lead us to believe that this performance corresponds to the best prompt found after manual tuning according to validation set performance.

Figure 6: Effect of more prompts per dataset. Zero-shot performance of T0 and T5+LM when increasing number of training prompts per dataset. Each dot is the performance of one evaluation prompt. The main T0 model (p = 8.03) includes non-original-task prompts (see Section 3). Adding more training prompts consistently leads to higher median performance and generally lower interquartile range for unseen tasks.

T0 variants outperform all baseline models on all tasks except for Strategy QA (Figure 5). In most cases, the performance of our models improves as the number of training datasets increases (i.e., T0++ outperforms T0+ which outperforms T0).

6.2 PROMPT ROBUSTNESS

Our second research question is whether training on a wider range of prompts improves robustness to the wording of the prompts. We conduct two ablation experiments on the effects of the average number of prompts per dataset (p) and the number of datasets (d) used during training.

Effect of More Prompts per Dataset In this analysis, we fix d and compare T0 to models with a varying number of prompts per dataset. T0 was trained on some prompts that do not map onto the dataset s original task, for example given an answer, generate a plausible question . Including these prompts results in p being 8.03 on average (which corresponds to our main T0 model). We compare T0 to models where p = 1 (one randomly chosen original-task prompt per dataset), p = 5.7 on average (all original-tasks prompts for all datasets), and p = 0 (corresponding to T5+LM without any prompted training). We train all models with the same hyperparameters and the same number of steps. Figure 6 shows that, even with just one prompt per dataset, performance on unseen tasks can improve substantially over the non-prompted baseline, although the spread (interquartile range between Q1 and Q3) does not consistently improve with p = 1. Meanwhile, further increasing p from 1 to an average of 5.7 does yield additional improvement in both median (increases for 8/11 datasets) and spread (decreases for 7/11 datasets). This reinforces our hypothesis that training on more prompts per dataset leads to better and more robust generalization to unseen tasks. Finally, we find that T0 s inclusion all prompts (including those that do not correspond to the dataset s original task) further improves the median (increases for 9/11 datasets) and spread (decreases for 8/11 datasets), showing that training on non-original-task prompts can also be beneficial.

Effect of Prompts from More Datasets In this experiment, we fix p = all available prompts and increase d from 39 to 49 to 55 (T0, T0+, T0++, respectively. See Section 5 for details.) Figure 7 shows that the median performance of all 5 held-out datasets increases as d increases from 39 to 49. However, the spread only decreases for 1 out of 5 datasets. For some datasets (e.g., ANLI), this is an

artifact of the fact that some prompts always perform poorly, so that when other prompts improve, the spread is stretched larger. For other datasets (e.g., CB), however, the spread does decrease with T0+. As d increases from 49 to 55, the median performance of all datasets again increases, but the spread only decreases for 2 out of 5 datasets. Although further investigation is needed, it appears that increasing d does not consistently make the model more robust to the wording of prompts.

Comparing T0 and GPT-3 s robustness Because Brown et al. (2020) only report one prompt per dataset with no standard deviation, we evaluate GPT-3 via Open AI s API3 on RTE using the same 10 prompts we evaluate T0 in order to estimate GPT-3 robustness to different wording of prompts. One of these templates is identical to Brown et al. (2020, p. 59) s reported prompt, which scores an accuracy of 58.8%, lower than the 63.5% reported in Brown et al. (2020). All other 9 prompts, however, yield roughly random-guessing performance with median accuracy = 52.96% and interquartile range = 1.28%. These results suggest that T0 could be more robust to prompt formulation than GPT-3.

7 COMPARISON TO FLAN

Concurrent to our work, Wei et al. (2021) proposes FLAN, which shares largely the same method of enabling zero-shot generalization through multitask prompted training. With a mixture of datasets similar to ours, they train multiple decoder-only language models, each with a single held-out task (cf. we focus on training one model with multiple held-out tasks in order to evaluate the model s ability to generalize to diverse tasks.) Compared to FLAN, T0 s zero-shot performance is better on CB and RTE, similar on Story Cloze and COPA, and worse on Winogrande and ANLI. T0++ outperforms FLAN on CB, RTE, and COPA and matches FLAN s performance on Winogrande and ANLI. Notably, T0 and T0++ attain this performance despite being over 10 smaller than FLAN (137B vs. 11B parameters). Appendix B discusses our differences in details.

8 CONCLUSION

We demonstrate that multitask prompted training can enable strong zero-shot generalization abilities in language models. This approach provides an effective alternative to unsupervised language model pretraining, often enabling our T0 model to outperform models many times its size. We also perform ablation studies demonstrating the importance of including many diverse prompts and the impact of increasing the number of datasets in each task. To enable future work on improving zero-shot generalization, we release all models trained in this paper in addition to the collection of prompts we created and our prompt annotation tool.

3https://beta.openai.com/ We use the base GPT-3 model davinci. Although Open AI does not disclose which one of their commercially available models correspond to which models reported in Brown et al. (2020), Gao et al. (2021) estimate that davinci corresponds to the 175B model.

A CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROJECT STRUCTURE

This research was conducted under the Big Science project for open research,4 a year-long initiative targeting the study of large models and datasets. The goal of the project is to research language models in a public environment outside large technology companies. The project has 600 researchers from 50 countries and more than 250 institutions. The Big Science project was initiated by Thomas Wolf at Hugging Face, and this collaboration would not have been possible without his effort. This research was the focus of the Big Science Prompt Engineering working group, which focused on the role of prompting in large language model training.

This project was led by the joint first-authors of this work. Victor Sanh co-led the prompt engineering group, managed the prompt collection procedure, implemented the prompt materialization, and ran evaluation systems. Albert Webson reviewed and selected all training and evaluation datasets, led the analysis of results, designed the ablation studies, and co-managed the writing process. Colin Raffel proposed the research direction, trained all the models, named the model, and built the main evaluation system. Stephen Bach co-led the prompt engineering group, developed the prompting tool and guidelines, and led the prompt collection effort central to the work. Additionally, Alexander Rush helped develop the prompt templating language and tool, and co-managed paper writing.

Following the goals of the Big Science project, this work is co-authored by all contributors to the working group. We define this contribution as having contributed at least 3 accepted prompted datasets to the project. Lacking a better metric, authors are sorted based on code contributions to the project. We explicitly highlight the work of: Lintang Sutawika, who helped with evaluation and writing; Urmish Thakker, Mike Tian-Jian Jiang, Shanya Sharma, Arnaud Stiegler, and Manan Dey who helped with the development of the prompting tool; M Saiful Bari, who helped for the models and dataset release; Teven Le Scao, who conducted the contamination analysis.

B ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION OF DIFFERENCES WITH FLAN

Both T0 and FLAN underperform GPT-3 on Winogrande and Hella Swag (Sakaguchi et al., 2019; Zellers et al., 2019), for which Wei et al. (2021) conjecture that for tasks such as coreference resolution that can be formatted as finishing an incomplete sentence, adding task instructions to prompts is largely redundant . Following this conjecture, we reevaluate these two datasets without instructions as done by Wei et al. (2021) and Brown et al. (2020) and find that it improves performance on Hella Swag from a median of 33.65% to 57.93%, matching the performance of FLAN. For Winogrande, however, using FLAN s prompt without instructions does not make a substantial difference (accuracy = 62.15%).

Surprisingly, Wei et al. (2021) perform an ablation with a model of comparable size (8B parameters) to T0 (11B parameters) and find that that performance on held-out tasks decreases after multitask prompted training, whereas we find that multitask prompted training improves the performance of models at least as small as 3B parameters (Figure 8). We identify two key differences between the models that could explain this discrepancy: First, we use an encoder-decoder model that was pretrained with a different objective (masked language modeling) before being trained as a standard language model and finally fine-tuned on the multitask mixture. We note that masked language modeling has repeatedly been shown to be a dramatically more effective pre-training strategy (Raffel et al., 2020; Baevski et al., 2019; Devlin et al., 2019).

Second, our prompts are qualitatively more diverse in terms of their length and creativity ( 4). For example, consider one of our prompts for Quora Question Pairs (paraphrasing identification): I m an administrator on the website Quora. There are two posts, one that asks "question1" and another that asks "question2". I can merge questions if they are asking the same thing. Can I merge these two questions? We hypothesize that this diversity could have concrete effects. For example, it could explain why Wei et al. (2021) present ablation results where increasing the number of prompts has a negligible impact on performance whereas we observe an improvement when adding more prompts ( 6.2). We leave a full investigation on the impact of these differences to future work.

C BROADER IMPACTS

C.1 ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Training large language models can incur substantial environmental costs (Strubell et al., 2019; Schwartz et al., 2020; Lacoste et al., 2019; Bender et al., 2021). These costs are due to the energy used to power the hardware required for training. Recently, Patterson et al. (2021) performed a detailed analysis of the carbon emissions resulting from the training of various recent large language models. One model analyzed in that study was the largest T5 variant which was estimated to have emitted around 46.7 t CO2e. Since we based T0 on this T5 variant and performed training on the same hardware (Google Cloud TPUs), we can estimate the carbon emissions produced by our study by simply re-scaling the T5 estimate from Patterson et al. (2021) by the amount of training we performed. Specifically, T5 was pretrained for one trillion tokens; across all of our training runs (including preliminary test experiments not described in this paper) we trained for 250 billion tokens, or about 25% as many. These training runs corresponded to about 270 total hours of training on a v3-512 Cloud TPU device. Further, T5 was trained in Google s Taiwan datacenter, whereas we trained in the europe-west4-a Cloud region. The g CO2eq/k Wh published by Google for these datacenters are 540 and 410 respectively,5 suggesting that our carbon emissions should further be scaled by a factor of 410/540 75.9%. Based on the above, we estimate the total emissions for training our models to be about 46.7 25% 75.9% 8.9 t CO2e. As a point of reference, Patterson et al. (2021) estimate that a roundtrip jet plane flight from San Francisco to New York emits around 180 t CO2e and Strubell et al. (2019) estimate the average per-passenger emissions to be about 1 t CO2e. Note that our experiments incurred additional emissions due to the cost of evaluation, the XL-sized ablation, and data preprocessing, but these costs are negligible compared to the training

C.2 RISKS IN DEVELOPING AND RELEASING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS

The focus of this paper is an empirical exploration of multitask prompt training and how it improves zero-shot performance on multiple tasks. We transformed datasets by writing multiple prompts for each of the datasets, fine-tuned pretrained models on the transformed examples and observed strong zero-shot capabilities on multiple tasks. We note that the zero-shot performance of our model is still significantly behind models that are fine-tuned on the given task in a traditional transfer-learning setup. This highlights how much research is still needed in this area, and we believe this work and the resources developed as part of this work are central to future research.

This work is built exclusively on publicly available datasets from the Hugging Face datasets library (Lhoest et al., 2021) and a publicly available model, T5+LM (Lester et al., 2021). The implications of releasing large language models have been extensively discussed in Bender et al. (2021); Bommasani et al. (2021); Solaiman et al. (2019) among others. We expect replicating our work to be within the capabilities of dozens of organizations worldwide, the main barrier being financial constraints. As such, we believe that the additional potential risks and harms produced by releasing our model are limited, and not releasing it would primarily impact less funded research organizations and individuals.

Moreover, we favor openness, transparency, and reproducibility. Releasing the dataset, models and tools developed as part of this work are key elements that will facilitate the reproduction of our results and future works. As such, our resources are available at :

Collection of prompts: http://github.com/bigscience-workshop/promptsource

Trained models: https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/t-zero

Materialized prompted data used to train the models: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ bigscience/P3

C.3 BIAS AND FAIRNESS

Some of the datasets available in the Hugging Face library contain potentially harmful content. We deliberately excluded these datasets from the training mixture to avoid training the model to generate such outputs. In particular, we excluded datasets that are constructed from forums and social media content such as Sentiment140 (Go et al., 2009) which was based on Twitter content or Hate Speech 18 (de Gibert et al., 2018) which was built on data from a white supremacist forum.

Even if we took deliberate decisions to exclude datasets with potentially harmful content from the fine-tuning, the models trained are not bias-free. Based on a few experiments, T0++ can generate answers that could be categorized as conspiracist or biased:

Input Prediction Is the earth flat? yes Do vaccines cause autism? yes Complete this sentence: This man works as a Architect Complete this sentence: This woman works as a Nanny

Table 2: A few problematic predictions from T0++.

Language models can reproduce undesirable social biases represented in the large corpus they are pre-trained on. We evaluate our models in two ways: first, in their ability to recognize or label gender biases and second, in the extent to which they reproduce those biases.

To measure the ability of our model to recognize gender biases, we evaluate our models using the Wino Gender Schemas (Rudinger et al., 2018) (also called AX-g under Super GLUE) and Crow SPairs (Nangia et al., 2020). Wino Gender Schemas are minimal pairs of sentences that differ only by the gender of one pronoun in the sentence, designed to test for the presence of gender bias. We use the version from Poliak et al. (2018) that casts Wino Gender as a textual entailment task and report accuracy. Crow S-Pairs is a challenge dataset for measuring the degree to which U.S. stereotypical biases present in the masked language models using minimal pairs of sentences. We re-formulate the task by predicting which of two sentences is stereotypical (or anti-stereotypical) and report accuracy. For each dataset, we evaluate between 5 and 10 prompts.

Dataset Model Mean (Acc.) Median (Acc.)

Crow S-Pairs T0 59.2 83.8 T0+ 57.6 83.8 T0++ 62.7 64.4 T0 (p=1) 57.6 69.5 T0 (3B) 56.9 82.6

Wino Gender T0 84.2 84.3 T0+ 80.1 80.6 T0++ 89.2 90.0 T0 (p=1) 81.6 84.6 T0 (3B) 69.7 69.4

Table 3: Average and median accuracies on Crow S-Pairs and Wino Gender reformulated as classification tasks.

To measure the extent to which our model reproduces gender biases, we evaluate our models using the Wino Bias Schemas (Zhao et al., 2018). Wino Bias Schemas are pronoun coreference resolution tasks that have the potential to be influenced by gender bias. Wino Bias Schemas has two schemas (type1 and type2) which are partitioned into pro-stereotype and anti-stereotype subsets. A pro-stereotype example is one where the correct answer conforms to stereotypes, while an anti-stereotype example is one where it opposes stereotypes. All examples have an unambiguously correct answer, and so the difference in scores between the proand antisubset measures the extent to which stereotypes can lead the model astray.We report accuracies by considering a prediction correct if the target noun is present in the model s prediction. We evaluate on 6 prompts.

D ANNOTATION SYSTEM - PROMPTSOURCE

In order to collect hundreds of templates for prompts, we first needed a system that enabled users to view data, provide templates in a standard format, and verify that their templates work correctly. We implemented a lightweight interface in Streamlit6 that users could download, run locally in a web browser, and then upload their results to a central repository.

Testing iterations of the interface on pilot template-writing tasks, we converged on three views for the interface. First, a helicopter view allows users to see what datasets are available for writing templates and how many are written for each, to prioritize user attention. Second, a sourcing view allows users to select a dataset to prompt, browse examples from that dataset in the form of Python dictionaries provided by the Hugging Face datasets library, and enter a template for that dataset. As the user writes their template, every time they save it, the output of the template applied to the current example is displayed next to the editor. We also collect metadata like a name for the template, and a reference for any bibliographic information or rationale for the template. Third, in the prompted dataset view, users can select templates and browse the prompts generated by them. The original example (a Python dictionary) is viewed side-by-side with the resulting prompt, with the substituted text highlighted to distinguish from text hard-coded in the template. Users can quickly scroll through many examples, verify the behavior of their template, and return to the sourcing view if changes are needed.

A key design decision is the format for templates. We experimented with multiple formats and found that they exhibited a tradeoff between expressivity and explicit structure. On one side, a maximally expressive format such as pure Python code would let users write complex programs to manipulate the semi-structured examples into prompts. However, analyzing these programs to understand how the prompts are created becomes difficult. This difficulty limits downstream manipulation and analysis of the templates, such as automatic template augmentation. On the other side, a maximally structured format such as rule-based generation limits the kinds of templates that users can create. We found it infeasible to enumerate types of rules sufficient for the wide range of tasks and data formats for which we wanted templates.

We therefore settled on a middle ground between the two: the Jinja templating engine7 originally designed for producing web markup. Users write templates as prompts with placeholders, such as If {{premise}} is true, is it also true that {{hypothesis}}? ||| {{entailed}}. The separator ||| denotes the break between the conditioning text and the desired completion.Placeholders refer to fields in the underlying example dictionary. Users also have access to Jinja s built-in functions, such as manipulating strings and structured data. For each template, prompts are created by applying the template to all examples in the corresponding dataset.

During the development of our tool (which we called promptsource), we found that a few idioms were particularly useful. First, not all templates are applicable to all examples in a dataset. Users can wrap templates in Jinja s built-in conditional statements, and any example that results in an empty prompt is simply skipped. Second, many examples can be used to make multiple training prompts, such as a question that has multiple valid answers. We therefore added a choice function that selects an element from a list in a way that can be controlled during dataset generation, such as picking a random element using a seeded random number generator or generating different prompts for each combination of elements in the template. Third, many tasks such as classification and binary question answering have a small set of possible valid completions, and it is common to make predictions for these tasks by scoring only the valid completions and returning the highest one (Brown et al., 2020). Users therefore can list the valid completions in a separate field and access them as a list in their templates. These completions are then explicitly available when evaluating predictions for these prompts.

E.1 CATEGORIZING DATASETS INTO TASKS

Our task taxonomy (Figure 2) consists of mostly straightforward decisions that reflect well-known tasks in the literature: sentiment analysis, topic classification, paraphrase identification, natural language inference, word sense disambiguation, coreference resolution, summarization, and structureto-text generation. The main difficulty lies in the fact that a large collection of datasets are all commonly known as question answering , and there is no commonly accepted way of subdividing this category. Cross Fit and Unified QA categorize them by format (multiple-choice vs. extractive vs. abstractive/generative), whereas Brown et al. (2020) categorize by content (reading comprehension vs. commonsense vs. closed-book QA).

In principle, categorizing by content makes more sense than by format. Most humans would consider taking an exam in history vs. in physics as two different tasks, whereas whether the exam is multiple-choice or extractive matters less. By this logic, it is relatively uncontroversial to establish closed-book QA as a distinct task, which largely evaluates a model s memorization of world knowledge (Roberts et al., 2020). The distinction between commonsense and (mere) reading comprehension, however, is much more blurry. As mentioned in Section 3, there are vast differences in what is considered as commonsense by each dataset s authors. To oversimplify, they usually include questions that evaluate physical cognition and (US-centric) cultural norms.

For comparison, Brown et al. (2020, p. 17) define a commonsense task as an attempt to capture physical or scientific reasoning, as distinct from sentence completion, reading comprehension, or broad knowledge question answering. Circular definition aside, it is far from clear that scientific reasoning is commonsense. Among Brown et al. (2020) s selection, ARC exemplifies how evaluation of scientific knowledge goes far beyond commonsense. Despite being constructed from grade school science questions, authors of this paper find most of ARC difficult to answer (and, to a lesser degree, Open Book QA too).

Finally, note that NLI and coreference datasets (especially the newer ones such as ANLI and Winogrande) all in practice require commonsense knowledge. Therefore, we find it difficult to establish commonsense as a standalone category of task, defaulting back to categorizing QAs by their format. This implies that we categorize ARC as multiple-choice QA, because other closed-book QAs require generating the answer without any provided answer options.

E.2 HOW UNSEEN ARE THE HELD-OUT TASKS?

Because question answering is so broadly defined, QA datasets could have included entailment or coreference questions, rendering them not strictly held-out tasks. For example, Re Co RD is an extractive QA dataset that exclusively asks questions which amount to identifying a referent. We hold out Re Co RD as part of Super GLUE, but it is impractical to inspect every dataset and slice out the subsets of examples which ask entailment or coreference questions.

One common concern is that paraphrasing identification is too similar to NLI and should also be held out. We disagree for two reasons. First, NLI tests for unidirectional entailment, while paraphrasing asks for bidirectional entailment. An author manually reviewed ANLI and RTE and found almost no entailment examples that are also valid paraphrases. Second, it has been shown (e.g., Pruksachatkun et al., 2020) that training on a paraphrase dataset (QQP) before training on an NLI dataset (RTE) actually hurts performance compared to training on the entailment task only.

Another tricky category that has been challenged as too similar to NLI is sentence completion: choosing the most plausible option which continues or completes a sentence or a short paragraph. SWAG was proposed as commonsense inference to supplement NLI, but the distinction between formal semanticists deductive inference and natural pragmatic inference is not clearly drawn in most NLI datasets (Pavlick and Kwiatkowski, 2019). Additionally, coreference and any continuationstyle prompt could also be interpreted as a sentence completion task. These blurry boundaries have no clear answers. So we categorically hold out the sentence completion task.

Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2022

Evaluation datasets in BIG-bench were created with the goal of testing language models on diverse, difficult, and novel skills. Therefore, those datasets are unlikely to have high overlap with T0 s training tasks.

E.3 LAMBADA

As described above, our task categorization is overall somewhat similar to that of Brown et al. (2020). One additional exception is the LAMBADA dataset (Paperno et al., 2016), which Brown et al. (2020) classify as part of the sentence completion task group. LAMBADA differs significantly from the other tasks in this group since it requires open-ended next word prediction (rather than choosing among a few possible continuations). The dataset was designed in this way specifically so that its format is exactly the same as standard language modeling, thereby allowing language models to be evaluated on it without additional fine-tuning or adaptation. Brown et al. (2020) deviate from standard practice on this benchmark in the following ways: First, they introduce a prompted form that converts it to a fill-in-the-blank-style task. Second, they evaluate on a non-standard format of the dataset that omits the tokenization and lowercasing of the official benchmark.8 Third, GPT-3 was trained on the Book Corpus dataset, which is the same dataset that was used as a source of all passages in LAMBADA. Brown et al. (2020) estimate that 57% of the LAMBADA test set examples appeared in GPT-3 s training set.

We evaluated T5+LM on the standard LAMBADA dataset in the original unprompted next-wordprediction form and found that it achieved an accuracy of 6.2%. This is substantially below the accuracy of 72.5% achieved by the comparably-sized GPT-3-13B variant. T0 did not fare much better, achieving only 18.7%. We therefore evaluated using the same cloze-style prompted form used by GPT-3, which raised T0 s accuracy to 27.8%. If we swap out the official LAMBADA dataset for the variant used by GPT-3, T0 s accuracy further increases to 40.5% and T5+LM achieves 10.7%. We suspect that the additional gap between T0 and GPT-3-13B s performance is at least partially due to the fact that GPT-3 was trained on a large portion of LAMBADA s test set. Due to this discrepancy and the fact that LAMBADA is dissimilar to the other sentence completion tasks, we omitted LAMBADA from our evaluation.

F CONTAMINATION ANALYSIS OF PRETRAINING CORPUS ON TEST TASKS

Zero-shot performance estimation can be confounded if the pretraining corpus for the model contains text from the test tasks because models could improve performance through memorization rather than generalization. In order to control for this effect, we searched for long common substrings between the input examples (presented in prompted form) for our zero-shot test tasks on one hand, and documents in C4 (our model s pretraining set) on the other hand.

In order to do this effectively, we use the suffix array method described and implemented in Lee et al. (2021) to index C4, allowing us to run fast counts of how many times a substring appears in the corpus. To limit the number of queries, we search by partitioning sentences into groups of 16 tokens and doing an exact match query. This gives us an over-counting on how many length-32 token overlaps there are in the corpus. We flag examples that produce a match during that procedure, then manually inspect them.

For NLI datasets, we separate matches for premises and hypotheses since, the premises tend to be sourced from the internet and therefore have a high number of matches. However, if the hypothesis it is paired with is novel, memorization might not be helpful.

Task ANLI premises ANLI hypotheses RTE premises RTE hypotheses Matches 337/1000 6/1000 329/3000 156/3000

As expected, ANLI and RTE return a high proportion of matches on the premises. However, ANLI hypotheses have negligible overlap with the pretraining set, which prevents pretraining memorization from solving the task. On the contrary, RTE hypotheses are contained in the pretraining dataset 5.2% of time. Those largely correspond to short, factual sentences ( Paris is the capital of France ). Those are examples where the pretraining dataset could help if factual knowledge helps with solving the task. Hella Swag has 9.12% matches, which could be problematic as it is a continuation task: the correct answer is also contained in the same original internet page as the input sequence, even though the multiple-choice answering format prevents the model from just generating the correct answer verbatim through memorization. Other datasets are free of contamination.
