Congrats @DobrikG for defending your thesis.
@fhuszar @TheWattenhofer . Thanks for spending the evening with me! It was a pleasure flexing my brains with you!. The only shame is that screenshot photos are hard to come out pretty. that's the best out of 4 tries :(.

Can language models transcend limitations of training data? . We train LMs on a formal grammar, then prompt them OUTSIDE of this grammar. We find that LMs often extrapolate logical rules and apply them OOD. Proof of a useful inductive bias. At NeurIPS:.

this looks cool: secular Bayesian seminar series.
📢 Post-Bayesian online seminar series coming!📢. To stay posted, sign up at. We'll discuss cutting-edge methods for posteriors that no longer rely on Bayes Theorem. (e.g., PAC-Bayes, generalised Bayes, Martingale posteriors, . ). Pls circulate widely!.

Hexameter poetry is rare in English, because it doesn't fit the natural rhythm of language, but there are nice examples:. "This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks," - HW Longfellow. "Gen Z boss and a mini, gen Z boss and a mini" - random startup ceo.
