31% of US adults use generative AI for healthcare 🤯But most AI systems answer questions assertively—even when they don’t have the necessary context. Introducing #MediQ a framework that enables LLMs to recognize uncertainty🤔and ask the right questions❓when info is missing: 🧵

Excited to be at #ICLR2025 🤩 I'll be giving an oral presentation for Creativity Index on Fri 25th 11:06, Garnet 212&219 🎙️ I'll also be presenting posters: 📍ExploreToM, Sat 26th 10:00, Hall 3 + 2B #49 📍CreativityIndex, Fri 25th 15:00, Hall 3 + 2B #618 Hope to see you there!

Want to know what training data has been memorized by models like GPT-4? We propose information-guided probes, a method to uncover memorization evidence in *completely black-box* models, without requiring access to 🙅‍♀️ Model weights 🙅‍♀️ Training data 🙅‍♀️ Token probabilities 🧵 (1/5)

Information-Guided Identification of Training Data Imprint in (Proprietary) Large Language Models

High-quality training data has proven crucial for developing performant large language models (LLMs). However, commercial LLM providers disclose few, if any, details about the data used for training. ...

🚨New Paper! So o3-mini and R1 seem to excel on math & coding. But how good are they on other domains where verifiable rewards are not easily available, such as theory of mind (ToM)? Do they show similar behavioral patterns? 🤔 What if I told you it's...interesting, like the below?🧵

Want to predict the task performance of LMs before pretraining them? We develop task scaling laws and model ladders, which predict the accuracy on individual tasks by OLMo 2 7B & 13B models within 2 points of absolute error. The cost is 1% of the compute used to pretrain them.
