I’m presenting this #COLM2024 paper as poster #44 in the Tuesday afternoon session! Come talk to me about designing interactions and building LMs to be useful for critical thinking!
"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." –JFK LLMs can speed up & even replace “boring thinking” – writing emails, coding, etc. But how can they support us when we must do critical thinking for ourselves? we find out in our #colm2024 paper!
We spent a year developing cde-small-v1, the best BERT-sized text embedding model in the world. today, we're releasing the model on HuggingFace, along with the paper on ArXiv. I think our release marks a paradigm shift for text retrieval. let me tell you why👇
“Technical computer science savvy and deep philosophical commitments”: @UW #UWAllen alum @andreiskiii was named the @UWArtSci Dean’s Medalist in Social Sciences for his campus leadership and research contributions spanning #AI and philosophy. #UWdiscovers artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-06/2…
Excited to present our work soon on how image generation can be site for deep thinking about visual politics and diverse representation at #FAccT2025 with my amazing co-author @andrewbshaw! Thursday June 26, 10:45-10:57 AM at New Stage A.🎨✨
This work aims to move beyond the traditional boundaries of the philosophy of science and the science of science. We propose a new field altogether: a science of philosophy, using empirical tools to map and measure the evolution of philosophical thought itself. You can read…
Inspired by his father’s study of neural networks, #UWAllen and @UWPhilosophy major @andreiskiii taught himself the subject on his way to enrolling in @UW at age 15. He just won a @PDSoros Fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. at @MITEECS in #AI. pdsoros.org/fellows/andre-… #HuskyExperience
AI alignment that tries to force systems that are more coherent than human minds to follow an incoherent set of values, locked in by a set of anti-jailbreaking tricks, is probably going to fail
last night i demo’d @openai o1 pro to my most skeptical friend - the results were extraordinary. it was amazing to see o1 pro successfully tackle humanities research, and how much better it was than 4o / o1. i also had a ton of fun watching my friend come around to AI! story ⬇️
