#ICLR2023 reviews are out… and seem incredibly brutal for a couple of papers that I really like! (by others, not by me) Good luck and happy weekend to everyone…

Improving Fine-Tuning Capabilities for Better AI Customization

–
still have a lot to figure out, but we definitely want to let people do more and better fine-tuning

Investment and Machine Learning Specific Sessions Overview

–
no–this is an investment and some ML-specific sessions, not an accelerator-like thing

BTC Cyclic Bottom Prediction Confirmed by AI Analysis

–
Bro, we had been screaming $BTC cyclic bottom, even the AI of myself.

Research on AI Example Benefits: Output Syntax and Label Space Learning
By
–
I think what Min et al. shows is that much of the benefit of examples is learning the output syntax and label space. Results aren’t as clean as this anecdote suggests by itself, e.g. OOD labels dramatically hurt performance.

Few-shot Prompt Setup Notes for Scaling Law Experiments
By
–
Some setup notes (cc @EthanJPerez
) – We used the exact 2-shot prompt for Quote Repetition, which is already U-shaped for Gopher/Chinchilla – We used fewer shots for Hindsight – We did few-shot instead of 0-shot for Negation QA – We also showed inverse scaling up to PaLM 62B -
U-shaped Scaling and the Limitations of Inverse Scaling Tasks
By
–
Implications: 1. U-shaped scaling means that inverse scaling may not hold when extrapolated to larger models. 2. The term “inverse scaling task” is underspecified. A task can be inverse scaling for one type of prompting and positive or U-shaped for another type of prompting.

CoT Prompting Defends Against Inverse Scaling in Math Tasks
By
–
Second, we show that CoT prompting can defend against inverse scaling. For instance, CoT prompting achieves 100% on 7 out of 8 subtasks for Redefine Math.

U-shaped Scaling Behavior Emerges at Higher Computational Budgets
By
–
Our results first confirm inverse scaling behavior seen on prior models trained up to 500 zettaFLOPs. But at 2K zettaFLOPs, it becomes U-shaped. U-scaling has also been shown in prior work, such as BIG-Bench.

Inverse Scaling Becomes U-Shaped with Larger Language Models
By
–
New preprint!
— Jason Wei (@_jasonwei) 4 novembre 2022
By evaluating 5x larger language models, inverse scaling can become “U-shaped scaling”, which means that performance increases sharply after decreasing.
