MMLU-Redux just touched down at #NAACL2025! 🎉 Wish I could be there for our "Are We Done with MMLU?" poster today (9:00-10:30am in Hall 3, Poster Session 7), but visa drama said nope 😅 If anyone's swinging by, give our research some love! Hit me up if you check it out! 👋

We created Approximate Likelihood Matching, a principled (and very effective) method for *cross-tokenizer distillation*! With ALM, you can create ensembles of models from different families, convert existing subword-level models to byte-level and a bunch more🧵

Image illustrating that ALM can enable Ensembling, Transfer to Bytes, and general Cross-Tokenizer Distillation.

🤔How to achieve efficient ICL without storing a huge dataset in one prompt? 💡Mixtures of In-Context Learners (𝗠𝗼𝗜𝗖𝗟): we treat LLMs prompted with subsets of demonstrations as experts and learn a weighting function to optimise the distribution over the continuation (🧵1/n)
