New paper: On the unreasonable effectiveness of LLMs for causal inference.
GPT4 achieves new SoTA on a wide range of causal tasks: graph discovery (97%, 13 pts gain), counterfactual reasoning (92%, 20 pts gain) & actual causality.
How is this possible?🧵

My alma mater, #SharifUniversity of Technology, is under siege. There are reports of students being beaten, arrested, and shot at. The Iranian regime is stopping at nothing to quash protests triggered by the killing of #MahsaAmini. Please help by spreading the word. #IranProtests
Babak Heydari retweeted
If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends.
That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic.
