Selected publications (since 2023)
[2023] "Similarity to the training data" doesn't predict few-shot performance. While some level of similarity helps (a model trained on English does less well on Swahili), we evaluated several commonly used metrics of similarity, and not only do they not correlate with few-shot performance, they don't correlate with each other.
[2023] Data matters for pre-training. While architectures and hyperparameters are important, choices in data curation make a huge difference and often go unreported or undervalued.
[2023] Protocols for using LLMs to evaluate topic quality.
[2023] k-means on LLM token embeddings is a really strong baseline for neural topic modeling.
[2023] LLMs trained on scores of languages can discover a global, cross-language semantic embedding space... as an emergent property.
