#ICLR2024

Ekin Akyürek (Ekin Akyürek ✈️ ICLR 2024) of MIT recently presented on in-context language learning at the CDS Lunch Seminar.

His work showed transformers excel at formal language tasks via specialized 'n-gram heads,' outperforming RNNs & CNNs.

An insightful talk sparking great discussion!

LLMs seem to be biased towards their own text, according to new work by CDS Postdoc Researcher Shi Feng (Shi Feng), Arjun Panickssery is in London, and Sam Bowman.
