New paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.15507 LLMs are good at programing tasks, and they are now being widely used to assist code generation. But do they actually understand the semantics of programming languages, or do they rely on superficial, "shortcut" correlations? Let's find out! 1/

🎉 New paper to appear at ACL 2023 : arxiv.org/abs/2305.17553 Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful tools, but they can memorize false or outdated associations. Model editing techniques promise to solve this, but do they really work? 1/

Welcome to iLab Wrapped!!🎉🎉 It's the end of 2023, so let's take a dive into some of the Interaction Lab's papers. Please follow your favourite authors so you can keep up with their work beyond their time at Interaction Lab (apologies if the thread updates slowly - Angus Addlesee)

New Paper 🎉: arxiv.org/pdf/2401.01814… Can language models relearn removed concepts? Model editing aims to eliminate unwanted concepts through neuron pruning. LLMs demonstrate a remarkable capacity to adapt and regain conceptual representations which have been removed 🧵1/8
