New SOL metric measures text generation distribution gaps

Researchers have introduced SOL, a novel metric designed to evaluate text generation models by comparing the distributions of their hidden states. This method utilizes the double sliced Wasserstein distance to quantify the gap between generated and data distributions, offering an alternative to perplexity for non-autoregressive models. Experiments on models trained on OpenWebText demonstrate SOL's ability to detect distributional failures and provide stable estimates. AI

IMPACT Provides a new evaluation metric for non-autoregressive language models, potentially improving model development and comparison.
