I'll be giving a talk on building, training, and finetuning LLMs in the ACM Tech Talks series on Wed at 1 pm ET. Put together a nice (and hopefully informative) slide deck, and now really look forward to it! The talk is free to attend!

Calling PhD Econ students (especially current 3th-4th years in PA, NJ, DE, MD) -- apply to our mentoring week in September. Applications due June 21!

The Philadelphia Fed Mentoring & Advancing PhDs Program is a unique opportunity for PhD candidates to connect with like-minded scholars in economics and finance. Apply to join us this fall for a week of interaction, feedback, and mentorship. bit.ly/3vqnSWp



Hmm..I don't use the platform much but why does it show posts from people I don't follow. Did they change it recently??

Excited to share our latest research: The myth of cosmopolitan cities: Why large urban areas are more segregated Long-standing assumption is that large cities with their diverse population, foster diverse person-to-person interactions. Our @Nature paper shows the opposite is…

Do we really need multilingual models? 🤔 We show that, with some tricks, translate-test (machine translating the input into English and using an English model) can work better than previously reported, outperforming multilingual models in most tasks 🤯 arxiv.org/abs/2305.14240

Random note on k-Nearest Neighbor lookups on embeddings: in my experience much better results can be obtained by training SVMs instead. Not too widely known. Short example: github.com/karpathy/rando… Works because SVM ranking considers the unique aspects of your query w.r.t. data.

I believe there will be a lot of exciting work following this. I have learned a lot throughout this project from you both @SarahHBana and @mrfrank5790

Excited to share this research! @mrfrank5790 and I usually study skills from the demand side. In this paper, led by exceptional Pitt grad student @hungkchau, we look at university syllabi and the skills they teach.

New @PLOSONE paper w/ @SarahHBana @hungkchau and Baptiste Bouvier! Workers' skills determine earnings, migration, and careers, but where do those skills come from? Using millions of college syllabi from @opensyllabus we create skill profiles for majors and universities

Our amazing AI and ranking team just pushed a new ranker that now incorporates not just semantics, string matching, etc. but also popularity of answers and hence brings way more and better results, eg. a coding question a la you.com/search?q=how%2…
