Foundational Challenges in Assuring Alignment and Safety of Large Language Models
This work identifies 18 foundational challenges in assuring the alignment and safety of large language models (LLMs).
Beyond Predictive Algorithms in Child Welfare
We also find that although casenotes cannot predict discharge outcomes, they contain contextual case signals.
Managing extreme AI risks amid rapid progress
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly, and companies are shifting their focus to developing generalist AI systems that can autonomously act and pursue goals.
Implicit meta-learning may lead language models to trust more reliable sources
Fine-tuning on this dataset leads to implicit meta-learning (IML): in further fine-tuning, the model updates to make more use of text that is tagged as useful.
Generalizing in the Real World with Representation Learning
And in making great progress in such a short time, the field has developed many norms and ad-hoc standards, focused on a relatively small range of problem settings.
Metadata Archaeology: Unearthing Data Subsets by Leveraging Training Dynamics
Modern machine learning research relies on relatively few carefully curated datasets.
Filling gaps in trustworthy development of AI
The range of application of artificial intelligence (AI) is vast, as is the potential for harm.
Revealing the Incentive to Cause Distributional Shift
We use these unit tests to demonstrate that changes to the learning algorithm (e. g. introducing meta-learning) can cause previously hidden incentives to be revealed, resulting in qualitatively different behaviour despite no change in performance metric.
COVI-AgentSim: an Agent-based Model for Evaluating Methods of Digital Contact Tracing
The rapid global spread of COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented demand for effective methods to mitigate the spread of the disease, and various digital contact tracing (DCT) methods have emerged as a component of the solution.
Predicting Infectiousness for Proactive Contact Tracing
Predictions are used to provide personalized recommendations to the individual via an app, as well as to send anonymized messages to the individual's contacts, who use this information to better predict their own infectiousness, an approach we call proactive contact tracing (PCT).
Hidden Incentives for Auto-Induced Distributional Shift
We introduce the term auto-induced distributional shift (ADS) to describe the phenomenon of an algorithm causing a change in the distribution of its own inputs.
COVI White Paper
Manual contact tracing of Covid-19 cases has significant challenges that limit the ability of public health authorities to minimize community infections.
Toward Trustworthy AI Development: Mechanisms for Supporting Verifiable Claims
With the recent wave of progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has come a growing awareness of the large-scale impacts of AI systems, and recognition that existing regulations and norms in industry and academia are insufficient to ensure responsible AI development.
Computers and Society
Hidden incentives for self-induced distributional shift
Decisions made by machine learning systems have increasing influence on the world.
Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and we, as machine learning experts, may wonder how we can help.
A Closer Look at Memorization in Deep Networks
We examine the role of memorization in deep learning, drawing connections to capacity, generalization, and adversarial robustness.
ExtremeWeather: A large-scale climate dataset for semi-supervised detection, localization, and understanding of extreme weather events
We present a dataset, ExtremeWeather, to encourage machine learning research in this area and to help facilitate further work in understanding and mitigating the effects of climate change.
A dataset and exploration of models for understanding video data through fill-in-the-blank question-answering
In addition to presenting statistics and a description of the dataset, we perform a detailed analysis of 5 different models' predictions, and compare these with human performance.
Surprisal-Driven Zoneout
We propose a novel method of regularization for recurrent neural networks called suprisal-driven zoneout.
Zoneout: Regularizing RNNs by Randomly Preserving Hidden Activations
We propose zoneout, a novel method for regularizing RNNs.
