Also ICLR 2026 and it is going to be a busy week! 1. Today at 10am, Optimal Protocols for Continual Learning via Statistical Physics and Control Theory #342 2. Tomorrow at 10am, A Theory of Initialisation's Impact on Specialisation #342 3. Speaking at Spurious Correlation & Shortcut Learning Workshop o Monday







Had fun talking at the Spurious Correlation & Shortcut Learning Workshop at ICLR! One example I brought up, which I think provides an uncommon perspective: a case where spurious shortcuts can improve generalization... even to out-of-distribution sets where the spurious feature doesn't generalize! Thread:

Cool suggestions and results from Andrew Lampinen on how semantic plausibility “shortcuts”/“spurious features” can effectively drive the more difficult learning of human language syntax!
