Why do LMs say what they say? We often don't know - but now we might get a better idea. My first project with @huggingface, the ROOTS search tool goes live today🤗🌸It allows anyone to browse through the 1.6TB of the corpus behind @BigScience’s BLOOM https://t.co/gMW3BvNisp🚀🧵

My alma mater, Sharif University of Technology, Iran's premier university, was under siege yesterday. Many students were arrested, heavily injured or perhaps killed. Many Iranian scholars and PhD students whom you know have received their BSc degrees from this university.
