Make sure to check out the inverse scaling prize, which is a great community effort! Looking forward to evaluating on the Round 2 winners 🙂

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

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.

JMLR Review Delays: How TMLR Improves Academic Publishing
By
–
I had the same experience with JMLR back in 2015. After 6 months, they hadn't found reviewers. Withdrew the paper and submitted to a different journal. I like that @TmlrOrg doesn't run into this type of friction, since reviewers are expected to review it after being assigned.

Democracy increases moral universalism globally survey finds

Giant worldwide survey looks at universalism (a willingness to treat strangers the same way you treat friends/community members) & finds 26% of people are strongly universalist & 18% are the opposite. Exposure to democracy causally increases universalism. https://

Meta AI Creates Largest Protein Language Model with 15B Parameters
By
–
Meta AI researchers trained a language model to fill in protein sequence gaps across millions of diverse proteins & scaled up to 15B parameters, creating the largest language model of proteins to date. More on our latest breakthrough in protein folding https://
