Non-Turing Computation in Living Systems: Long-term Research
By
–
Love this paper; augmenting computation with non-Turing processes; something that most likely occurs in all living systems. This is long term research; don't think about it in terms of immediate applications; it is exploring wild new spaces. @denizzokt

Predicting Large Model Performance Across Unseen Tasks
By
–
(3 cont.) Can you predict the performance of one model from another?
Can you predict the performance of a 128B model on an unseen task, given models up to some smaller threshold size and some performances of 128B models on other tasks? -
Hope for Better Open-Source Large Language Models
By
–
Finally, with models like OPT and BLOOM at 175B params, I'm hopeful that better open-source models will be soon be trained, given the pace of innovation in the space.

BIG-Bench metrics deserve deeper analysis and study
By
–
(3) Even just looking at BIG-Bench metrics is quite understudied IMO. There are hundreds of tasks in BIG-Bench, and each task has dozens of models evaluated, each with many evaluation metrics. There are task logs for some models. This raises natural questions:

Flan-T5 Public Release with Instruction Tuning Data Ablation
By
–
(2 cont.) Flan-t5 is publicly available along with the dataset (thanks to @ShayneRedford
), so you can even ablate parts of the instruction tuning data to see what unlocks performance. -
Unlocking emergent abilities in smaller language models like Flan-T5
By
–
(2) One key question of emergence is how to unlock such abilities at smaller scales, and I don't think there has been much work on flan-T5, which often beats PaLM 62B as shown in this paper: https://

I am now writing the @WIRED Fast Forward newsletter. (I'm only a few years late to the trend). The first issue is about the AI search wars. You can see a preview and subscribe here:
