📊 External Evaluation: We compared STF-trained models vs. DPO/SALT-trained ones and found that GPT-2 & Llama2 excelled with GPT-4 edits over GPT-3.5. SALT's granular feedback improved alignment, with GPT-2 showing higher ROUGEL in High→Low training and stable factuality. (13/N)

🧪 To verify the causality, we propose teach-back to align the teacher’s rationales with the student’s self-explanations. Experiments show that teach-back can greatly improve the in-context teaching ability of a model. (7/N)

📊 Results show that LLMs’ self-explanations are quite different from Human-craft CoTs and have less variance, though using LLMs’ self-explanations for ICL leads to better performance. We also question treating human-craft CoTs as the gold standard for in-context exemplars. (8/N)
