Computer Scientist Yejin Choi uses natural language processing to develop AI systems that can understand language and make inferences about the world. Learn more about the 2022 MacArthur Fellow #MacFellow macfound.org/fellows/class-…

This is a super sophisticated way to probe LLM knowledge: arxiv.org/abs/2507.06952 Keyon Vafa the probe tests alignment to a known world model... but what if the model learned a valid alternative? Any way to reveal the model's implicit world model without assuming one in advance?

Yesterday’s panel that I ran at ICML on “The science singularity.” The room was packed so people sat down so others could see. Computer scientists are lovely people. Big thanks to alphaXiv Thomas G. Dietterich Peter Zakin ✈️ ICML and Fazl Barez @ICML2025!

My main worry about the big AI safety recommendation is that research keeps accumulating that CoT might **not** be necessary for reasoning after all. If that turns out to be true, then this safety avenue will close. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11473

During #ICML2025 last week, we teamed up with alphaXiv to host a happy hour + panel on: "The Science Singularity - How Automated ML Research is Changing the ML Landscape" Thanks to Peter Zakin, Fazl Barez @ICML2025, Thomas G. Dietterich, and John Bohannon -- see you @ICML! for the insights - and everyone who came

This is the next ML paper I've seen from Apple after the spicy "Illusion of Reasoning" paper. I find that company's public research output genuinely puzzling. Good work but randomly distributed. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11851
