Beyond the imitation game: Quantifying and extrapolating the capabilities of language models

…, A Rastogi, A Rao, AAM Shoeb, A Abid… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Language models demonstrate both quantitative improvement and new qualitative
capabilities with increasing scale. Despite their potentially transformative impact, these new …

Interpretation of neural networks is fragile

A Ghorbani, A Abid, J Zou - Proceedings of the AAAI conference on artificial …, 2019 - aaai.org
In order for machine learning to be trusted in many applications, it is critical to be able to
reliably explain why the machine learning algorithm makes certain predictions. For this reason, …

Contrastive principal component analysis

A Abid, MJ Zhang, VK Bagaria, J Zou - arXiv preprint arXiv:1709.06716, 2017 - arxiv.org
We present a new technique called contrastive principal component analysis (cPCA) that is
designed to discover low-dimensional structure that is unique to a dataset, or enriched in …
