OKO got accepted to #ICLR2024🎉🥳 OKO is very simple to use: Just change your sampling from single data point sampling to set sampling and compute cross-entropy for the sum of set data point logits rather than for single data point logits. You will get much better calibration! 🔥
🚨 Preprint alert🚨 Are you worried about miscalibration of your model outputs but tired of post-hoc temperature scaling and think label smoothing is a hack? Then just train with OKO - a principled set learning approach for better model calibration! (1/5) arxiv.org/abs/2307.02245

At the poster for @lukas_mut's paper "Improving neural network representations using human similarity judgments" xitter.gq/AndrewLampinen/status/… Wed 13 Dec 10:45 a.m. CST — 12:45 p.m. CST Great Hall & Hall B1+B2 (level 1) #300 nips.cc/virtual/2023/poster/…
What aspects of human conceptual knowledge do machine learning objectives fail to adequately capture? Could we use small datasets of human similarity judgements to improve model representations and get better downstream performance? @lukas_mut's cool new work has the answers!

Freshman: I don't know how to solve this problem. It's too hard! Tutor: OK, first let's do this tiny step. Freshman: Yeah, yeah. I know /that/. But that doesn't solve my problem. Tutor: OK, now let's take the next tiny step. ...

Bruh as a professional writer/artist you just sit around wondering if tomorrow everyone is going to stop liking your stuff, and every vacation is unpaid vacation, including weekends. What you actually want is to be an idle aristocrat living on inherited wealth.

It's almost as if the attack on standardized testing is a way for rich white people to defend their children's social position from the kids of hard-charging Asian, Middle Eastern, and African immigrants, rather than an actual way of promoting equity in admissions
Not sure how you can look at this data, ostensibly be interested in either meritocracy or equality, and want to move away from standardized tests. It's the subjective measures that are most slanted in favor of the rich kids. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Every day you see some new version of people being weirdly resistant to the idea that what bothers swing voters about the other political party isn't the thing that bothers you, a highly partisan political obsessive. But like this is just obviously true.
