'Language Models, Graph Searching, and Supervision Adulteration: When More Supervision is Less and How to Make More More' arxiv.org/abs/2503.10542 A follow-up to my EMNLP paper now on arxiv. A preliminary version of this will also be at the #SCSLWorkshop at #ICLR2025

Sad news. Margaret Boden’s book The Creative Mind influenced my thinking on creativity early on. Her notion of transformational creativity remains relevant today. Of all the things people knock LLMs for lacking, transformational creativity is the true prize.

I wrote a blog post on the role of discreteness as a key property in learning in language models. Comments and thoughts welcome! imported-flood-efc.notion.site/The-Power-of-D…

@mihirp98 @sainingxie to be clear, this is not meant to characterize to any interactions around this paper. i'm just making a broad point to push back against the "open review on twitter is a great way to do science" school of thought.
Vaishnavh Nagarajan retweeted
@mihirp98 @sainingxie there's been times when the more powerful person has ghosted my rebuttal which again is very bad for science. also person who paid for checkmark can post a long essay criticism while you scramble to respond in multitweets (I've been trying my best not to pay for this site)
Vaishnavh Nagarajan retweeted
@mihirp98 @sainingxie +1 open x review involves messed up power dynamics with the higher follower count / more senior person having an awful lot of influence in the process, which makes everything less objective and also causes unnecessary stress to the junior one

Grateful for the recognition of our work, which makes an important step towards formalizing transformational creativity—the type of creativity historically associated with breakthrough scientific insights! Stay tuned for our follow-up work in the next several months :)
