Hello world 👋 Agents4Academia is a community‑led effort to explore and build open‑source agents for academic and research work — by researchers, for researchers. agents4academia.org

I (+Claude) finally pushed my personal website ✨ klarakaleb.github.io — only a few years delayed. Have a look if curious what I've been up to!

🚀Introducing “StochasTok: Improving Fine-Grained Subword Understanding in LLMs”!🚀 LLMs are incredible but still struggle disproportionately with subword tasks, e.g., for character counts, wordplay, multi-digit numbers, fixing typos… Enter StochasTok, led by Anya Sims! [1/]

‪at #ICLR2025? 🇸🇬 check out Cong Lu talk about our work on a novel stochastic tokenisation method, StochasTok, on Mon, 4:20 PM @ Hall 4 #6 - work w/ Anya Sims @yeewhye.bsky.social @jfoerst.bsky.social and Thom Foster

I'm also co-organizing the @climatechangeai.bsky.social workshop at #ICLR2025! Join us April 28: climatechange.ai/events/iclr2... We're thrilled to have keynotes by @yisongyue.bsky.social and Iadine Chades on path-defining work on AI for science and AI for conservation. We'll be livestreaming!
