🗒️Can we meta-learn test-time learning to solve long-context reasoning? Our latest work, PERK, learns to encode long contexts through gradient updates to a memory scratchpad at test time, achieving long-context reasoning robust to complexity and length extrapolation while scaling efficiently at inference. PERK can be applied to existing pretrained language models without requiring architectural or parameter modifications to the base model. #LLM #LongContext Find out how PERK operates and performs 👇

🚨 New Preprint!! LLMs trained on next-word prediction (NWP) show high alignment with brain recordings. But what drives this alignment—linguistic structure or world knowledge? And how does this alignment evolve during training? Our new paper explores these questions. 👇🧵

Are LLMs linguistically productive and systematic in morphologically-rich languages as good as humans? No 🤨 Our new NAACL 2025 paper (arxiv.org/abs/2410.12656) reveals a significant performance gap between LLMs and humans in linguistic creativity and morphological generalization.

🚨 New Paper! Can neuroscience localizers uncover brain-like functional specializations in LLMs? 🧠🤖 Yes! We analyzed 18 LLMs and found units mirroring the brain's language, theory of mind, and multiple demand networks! w/ @GretaTuckute, @ABosselut, & @martin_schrimpf 🧵👇

Latest generative AI models show impressive abilities, but where do they stand w.r.t creativity? Our new preprint "Creativity in AI: Progresses and Challenges" dives into recent advances and challenges in AI’s creativity, across problem-solving, linguistics, art, and science.

New year, new preprint 🎇🦾🧐! We propose using structured negotiation games as dynamic benchmarks for language models (LMs). LMs are being used to create *dynamic* agents but benchmarks have remained *static*. Structured negotiation games solve this! arxiv.org/abs/2401.04536

Do multilingual language models (MultiLMs) have what it takes to reason across languages? Our #EMNLP2023 #NLProc paper proposes a new attention mechanism that considerably improves the cross-lingual generalization of MultiLMs!

Ever wonder how AI writing support is biasing student responses? 📝✍️🤖 Our new #EMNLP2023 Findings paper unravels gender bias from LLMs downstream. Through 8 analyses with 200+ students, we present a case study where ✨gender bias did not transfer✨ from models to students! – at Lausanne, Switzerland

Does your NLP system use commonsense when it matters? Hard to say when we use benchmarks that test models in artificial QA scenarios. We built CRoW🐦‍⬛, a new benchmark that evaluates model commonsense reasoning in real-world tasks where we actually use it mete.is/crow🧵

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT: We know that in-context learning (ICL) can be very sensitive to a host of design decisions, but did you know the task corpus itself is also a major source of bias? Check out our recent ACL 2023 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.19148 1/
