Can Transformers extrapolate from short training sequences to long ones? Our new work shows that they display surprising “length generalization” capabilities on many algorithmic tasks: addition, multiplication, and even in-context simulation of SGD!

New paper! Q-probe is a simple technique to improve LLM coding and alignment. Check out this new work from the #KempnerInstitute 's @ke_li_2021 @hughbzhang @brandfonbrener @ShamKakade6 @wattenberg @SamyJelassi #AI #LLMs

We propose Q-probe, a simple technique that improves coding and alignment for LLM, without requiring fine-tuning!. The idea is to learn a "task vector" in the hidden space and use it to select from multiple candidate generations.

I also have no idea what Q* is, but given speculation that it’s a method of self-learning and Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) in language models, I thought I’d share some recent work on an adjacent idea.
