What if survey-derived rubrics 📋 graded ChatGPT instead of vibes? We benchmark LLMs & deep research systems across 75 research fields 🩺🧬🦾⚗️🏛️🎭💹: Perplexity deep research wins > 82% of head-to-heads vs the next best! w/ @realliyifei, @cmalaviya11, and @yatskar
How well can LLMs & deep research systems synthesize long-form answers to *thousands of research queries across diverse domains*? Excited to announce 🎓📖 ResearchQA: a large-scale benchmark to evaluate long-form scholarly question answering at scale across 75 fields, using queries 💬and rubrics📋that are mined from survey articles 📚!

🚨 LLMs must grasp implied language to reason about emotions, social cues, etc. Our @GoogleDeepMind paper presents the Implied NLI dataset. Targeting social norms 🌎 and conversational dynamics 💬, we enhance LLM understanding of real-world implication! arxiv.org/abs/2501.07719

I’ve arrived at #CHI2024🌺!! I’m super excited to present our paper on how AI-assisted reading interfaces should be designed to help patients better understand their medical notes. Come check out the presentation on Wednesday May 15th at 11:30AM 🩺📑
Replying to @PennHCI
@PennHCI is coming to #CHI2024! With not one but two talks about augmented reading 📖✨ Look out for these faces — Hita, @litao_yan, and I will be there and excited to catch up with you all :-)

You'll be using a tool to read medical notes and answering questions about your comprehension. We also will ask for you to share one of your medical progress note (we'll walk you through how to access them). Thank you!
