Just published my first paper and dataset with the Social Technologies Lab at Cornell Tech - the largest public dataset on voter fraud claims released to date.
Check out the analysis in an interactive @streamlit application here: voterfraud2020.io

Today we’re introducing Forus and announcing $160M to build the foundation for modern medicine.
Science should be the only limit to medicine. Today it isn’t. Drug discovery is moving faster, but the system that turns it into real-world treatment isn’t.

In "Measuring Progress on Scalable Oversight for Large Language Models” we show how humans could use AI systems to better oversee other AI systems, and demonstrate some proof-of-concept results where a language model improves human performance at a task. arxiv.org/abs/2211.03540
Great work by @dnnslmr 👏 Was fortunate to hear an in-depth presentation of his in NYC. Now thinking about: how can we estimate training data (aleatoric) uncertainty for pretrained LMs? Where does the the border between ID and OOD lie for real-world summarization systems?
I'm so happy to finally announce our work with @jesfrellsen and @ch_hardmeier at @emnlpmeeting: We create a large benchmark of uncertainty quantification for #NLProc (8 models, up to 7 metrics) on three different languages! 🧵 (1/10) arxiv.org/abs/2210.15452 #emnlp2022

There is this rule of thumb that an improvement >1.0 BLEU is significant. But is it correct? Is it not coincidental?
I ran statistical significance testing on 2500+ system pairs from WMT21/22 to check it:

Yes, that is actually a bike path!
Yes, those are actually 8 lanes for car drivers!

The supply of disinformation will soon be infinite, which will cause people to treat *all* information as disinformation, *unless* it comes with a traceable origin to a reliable and/or trusted source.
There are techs and standards to be deployed for this.

People will soon realize that automated prompt engineering is akin to latent variable inference.
Then they will realize that latent variable inference is akin to reasoning/planning.
Then they will realize that transformers were missing that piece all along.
Excited to see that our VoterFraud dataset helped this analysis of "misinformation influencers"
NEW: Been working for months on this data project w/@jeremybmerrill. The ‘big lie’ wasn’t just a plan to overturn the election. It was massive clout-building exercise that spawned a generation of influencers. It continues to polarize even w/Trump offline.

We used agent-based modeling and machine learning with the VoterFraud2020 dataset (voterfraud2020.io/) collected by @AntonAbilov @informor et al. Our methods were preregistered (osf.io/jnvyf/) and the model is available as an R package: github.com/masonyoungblood/T…
Today we will be presenting the VoterFraud2020 dataset at #ICWSM2021 (room C at 10:15AM EST). Come by our poster if you have questions about our findings or how to get most out of this data! (co-authored with @yiqqqing @HanaMatatov @informor @ofraam)

Nine months ago, I learned that Facebook has a Responsible AI team, and has had some form of it since Cambridge Analytica. I began to wonder: what has it been doing these past three years? Nearly four-dozen interviews later, here's what I found. technologyreview.com/2021/03…
