Don’t believe that LLMs are good at solving math problems. New work led by Nasim Borazjanizadeh develops a set of simple problems that GPT fails miserably. However, interfacing an LLM with a reliable symbolic system (Prolog) raises performance near ceiling. arxiv.org/abs/2407.11373

The single weirdest and most off-putting human being on the face of the planet.

Last Saturday, I had the amazing opportunity to present my thesis work at the #CogSci2024! It was an honor to share the stage with 6 other fantastic Glushko Dissertation Prize winners: Tia Gong Dae Houlihan 🦋 Shailee Jain Tom McCoy Hunter Schone & Matthias Grabenhorst.

🚨New WP: Can LLMs predict results of social science experiments?🚨 Prior work uses LLMs to simulate survey responses, but can they predict results of social science experiments? Across 70 studies, we find striking alignment (r = .85) between simulated and observed effects 🧵👇
