I can see how deep learning methods may struggle to catch up with tree methods on small size datasets (and you say it in the thread). Wondering if you did try to do multitask fine-tuning on eg Transformers and saw a positive benefits? (we observe it in text, see eg Flan/T0)

Chinchilla Reproduction: Architectural Decisions and Retrospective Improvements
By
–
When we started this project, our goal was to reproduce Chinchilla, so we did not move too much away from the original architecture. Retrospectively, we should probably have done what PALM did: multi query + increase FeedForward hidden size to make up for the loss of parameters

LLaMA 65B can run on a MacBook! With a different model architecture it could probably run quite faster (we didn't use multi query, for instance) https://t.co/SMdlZC5NOo

Rationale before answer vs rationalization after in prompting
By
–
Only if you ask for (or demonstrate in k-shot) rationales that come before the answer. I see people make that mistake a lot — if it says the explanation after, it’s not a rationale it’s a rationalization.

[In a world… fully aligned…]
TEENAGER: “Prompt engineer?” What’s that?
OLD MAN: Just words, kid. Just words. […one final task… remains…]
SCIENTIST: The leaked model is pre-trained! There’s no RLHF! Not even instruct!
OLD MAN: *Dons e/acc shades* Let’s think step by step. -

Fixing GPT-3.5 numeric ties with weighted average
By
–
Numeric scores generated in GPT-3.5/ChatGPT snap to discrete increments, causing ties in comparisons. To fix this, try a probability-weighted average using the top-5 token logprobs in GPT-3.5. E.g. here: (50 * .7396 + 60 * .1027 + …) / (.7396 + …)
