New paper on human-AI interaction. We hire 18 writers to edit quirks in AI writing & see if #AI can mimic this process to improve its own writing Verdict: Writer-edited > AI-edited > AI-generated In other words:🚨Edits enhance alignment in writing🚨 🔗arxiv.org/pdf/2409.14509
📚How do we make unfamiliar text easy for adult readers? Excited to present my work at #EMNLP2024 Main on "Evaluating LLMs for Targeted Concept Simplification for Domain-Specific Texts" with amazing @hjrashkin @eaclark07 @fantinehuot @mlapata - arxiv.org/abs/2410.20763…
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 📢 Announcing 😺 CaT-Bench! Our new benchmark exposes a serious deficit in LLM reasoning ability about real-world plans. CaT-Bench tests how well LLMs reason about Causal and Temporal aspects of cooking recipes. arxiv.org/abs/2406.15823 #NLProc 1/5
New paper with students @BarnardCollege on testing orthogonal thinking / abstract reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models using the fascinating yet frustratingly difficult @nytimes Connections game. #NLProc #LLMs #GPT4o #Claude3opus 🧵(1/n)
