    • ABSTRACT: Recently, ChatGPT has attracted great attention, as it can generate fluent and high-quality responses to human inquiries. Several prior studies have shown that ChatGPT attains remarkable generation ability compared with existing models. However, the quantitative analysis of ChatGPT's understanding ability has been given little attention. In this report, we explore the understanding ability of ChatGPT by evaluating it on the most popular GLUE benchmark, and comparing it with 4 representative fine-tuned BERT-style models. We find that: 1) ChatGPT falls short in handling paraphrase and similarity tasks; 2) ChatGPT outperforms all BERT models on inference tasks by a large margin; 3) ChatGPT achieves comparable performance compared with BERT on sentiment analysis and question-answering tasks. Additionally, by combining some advanced prompting strategies, we show that the understanding ability of ChatGPT can be further improved.
    • NOTES:
      1. Definition and Process: Fine-tuned BERT models are adaptations of the pre-trained BERT architecture that have undergone additional training on specific datasets tailored to particular tasks or domains. This process refines the model’s parameters to better align with the nuances and requirements of targeted applications, enhancing its predictive accuracy and contextual relevance for those specific tasks.
      2. Utility and Versatility: These models encapsulate the versatility of the BERT framework by demonstrating that a single foundational model, through fine-tuning, can be effectively repurposed for a wide array of NLP challenges. This includes everything from sentiment analysis and question answering to more specialized applications like legal document analysis or medical record interpretation, thereby broadening the practical scope of BERT models in real-world scenarios.
      3. Performance on Inference Tasks: Fine-tuned BERT models, especially BERT-large, perform well on natural language inference tasks, indicating their effective understanding of textual entailment and contradiction across various contexts .
      4. Differential Performance on Paraphrase Tasks: On tasks like MRPC, fine-tuned BERT models show varying performance; while they generally handle entailment well, they sometimes struggle with identifying non-entailment, highlighting potential areas for further optimization .
      5. Fine-Tuning Importance: The paper underscores the importance of fine-tuning BERT models on specific tasks to achieve optimal performance, which can significantly differ based on the nature of the task and the model variant (base or large) .
      6. Comparison with Other Models: The fine-tuned BERT models often serve as baselines or comparison points for newer models like ChatGPT, helping to benchmark advancements in model understanding capabilities and prompting methods .
