Referential grounding is not a one-to-one mapping. When queried about multiple objects, more hallucination arises. We provide insights on whether grounded pretraining, scaling, and post-training techniques can effectively reduce object hallucinations. (Spoiler: Not necessarily)

Ok, every year when I look up my bids for NeurIPS, I can't help but feel like I've been scooped again. It's like the field is on rocket fuel….😫 But is there something wrong with the configuration this year? I can even bid papers that I proofread for my previous coauthors…

Chatting with pals and suddenly a flashback hits: I tried something somewhat similar to Chain of Thought with GPT-2 back in 2021. Got some results but we gave up as it was far from robust. So, keep those brainwaves flowing, maybe your next big break is just a GPT-3 away! 😂

In Dec 2023, @TairanHe99 convinced me that humanoid teleoperation is the future - moving beyond the foundation model hypes and potentially tackling the interactive data scarcity for robotics. I knew the team had worked tirelessly for this groundbreaking release. Congrats!

Excited to be involved in this collaborative initiative!😬 Alignment research shouldn't be a static, one-way process but rather a continuous, reciprocal engagement between humans and AI. AI and HCI researchers need to communicate to facilitate this. Check out this thread...👇

How would trials and demonstrations from interactions influence neural language acquisition from the ground up? Our experiments (on both BookCorpus and @babyLMchallenge ) reveal that TnD accelerates word acquisition for student models of equal and smaller numbers of parameters.
