https://itea1001.github.io/ Rising third-year undergrad at the University of Chicago, working on LLM tool use, evaluation, and hypothesis generation.

🚀 We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming AI & Scientific Discovery online seminar! We have an amazing lineup of speakers. This series will dive into how AI is accelerating research, enabling breakthroughs, and shaping the future of research across disciplines. ai-scientific-discovery.github.io

As AI becomes increasingly capable of conducting analyses and following instructions, my prediction is that the role of scientists will increasingly focus on identifying and selecting important problems to work on ("selector"), and effectively evaluating analyses performed by AI ("evaluator").

Prompting is our most successful tool for exploring LLMs, but the term evokes eye-rolls and grimaces from scientists. Why? Because prompting as scientific inquiry has become conflated with prompt engineering. This is holding us back. 🧵and new paper with @ari-holtzman.bsky.social .

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Ever asked an LLM-as-Marilyn Monroe who the US president was in 2000? 🤔 Should the LLM answer at all? We call these clashes Concept Incongruence. Read on! ⬇️ 1/n 🧵

1/n 🚀🚀🚀 Thrilled to share our latest work🔥: HypoEval - Hypothesis-Guided Evaluation for Natural Language Generation! 🧠💬📊 There’s a lot of excitement around using LLMs for automated evaluation, but many methods fall short on alignment or explainability — let’s dive in! 🌊

🧑‍⚖️How well can LLMs summarize complex legal documents? And can we use LLMs to evaluate? Excited to be in Albuquerque presenting our paper this afternoon at @naaclmeeting 2025!

🚀🚀🚀Excited to share our latest work: HypoBench, a systematic benchmark for evaluating LLM-based hypothesis generation methods! There is much excitement about leveraging LLMs for scientific hypothesis generation, but principled evaluations are missing - let’s dive into HypoBench together.
