Brute-Forcing the LLM Guardrails

The author explores the limits of AI by attempting to get a medical diagnosis from a large language model (LLM), specifically Google's Gemini Pro 1.5. Despite the model's initial refusal to provide a diagnosis, the author uses prompt engineering and automation to eventually obtain valid-looking medical interpretations, including a formatted differential diagnosis.

Breaking the image: a 12th-century Ai Weiwei?

The Sussex muralist's painting, "The Deception of Eve and Adam," is a challenging and audacious work that subverts traditional art conventions, much like Ai Weiwei's provocative sequence of photos, "Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn." The muralist's use of trompe l'oeil hooks and a cloth-like scene may have been seen as threatening or deviant, earning them a place alongside art-martyrs like Lazaros Zographos and Saint George.

Apple Researchers Show Critical Flaw in AI

Apple researchers tested over 20 state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models with a simple arithmetic problem and found that they consistently got it wrong, while human schoolchildren were able to solve it correctly. The study highlights the limitations of AI systems, which don't truly "think" but rather match language patterns, and suggests that they may never be able to replicate human intelligence.

Length-Induced Embedding Collapse in Transformer-Based Models

Researchers have identified a phenomenon called Length Collapse, where longer text embeddings collapse into a narrow space, hurting performance in downstream tasks. They propose a solution called TempScale, which introduces a temperature in softmax() to mitigate this issue, and demonstrate its effectiveness in improving existing embedding models, especially on long text inputs.

Spann: Highly-Efficient Billion-Scale Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (2021)

SPANN is a memory-disk hybrid indexing and search system that efficiently handles large-scale databases by storing centroid points in memory and large posting lists on disk. It achieves high recall and low latency, outperforming the state-of-the-art ANNS solution DiskANN by being 2 times faster with the same memory cost and reaching 90% recall in around one millisecond.

Improving Neuron-Level Interpretability with White-Box Language Models

Researchers have developed a new transformer-like architecture called CRATE, which embeds sparse coding directly into the model to improve neural network interpretability. CRATE has shown significant improvements in neuron-level interpretability, up to 103% relative improvement, across various evaluation metrics and model sizes.

Smoothed asymptotics: from number theory to quantum field theory

Researchers have developed a new regularization scheme, called η regularization, for loop integrals in quantum field theory, inspired by Terence Tao's method of smoothed asymptotics. This scheme reveals a connection between eliminating divergences and preserving gauge invariance, and has led to a method for regularizing non-abelian gauge theories that preserves the Ward identity for the vacuum polarisation tensor.
