Discovering fully semantic representations via centroid- and orientation-aware feature learning
Learning meaningful representations of images in scientific domains that are robust to variations in centroids and orientations remains an importan…
On the caveats of AI autophagy
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and large models are producing realistic outputs across various domains, such as images, text,…
Rethinking machine unlearning for large language models
We explore machine unlearning in the domain of large language models (LLMs), referred to as LLM unlearning. This initiative aims to eliminate undes…
Large language models that replace human participants can harmfully misportray and flatten identity groups
Large language models (LLMs) are increasing in capability and popularity, propelling their application in new domains—including as replacements f…
Goals as reward-producing programs
People are remarkably capable of generating their own goals, beginning with child’s play and continuing into adulthood. Despite considerable empi…
Teaching robots to build simulations of themselves
The emergence of vision catalysed a pivotal evolutionary advancement, enabling organisms not only to perceive but also to interact intelligently wi…
Prevalence of processed foods in major US grocery stores
The offering of grocery stores is a strong driver of consumer decisions. While highly processed foods such as packaged products, processed meat and…
Generative language models exhibit social identity biases
Social identity biases, particularly the tendency to favor one’s own group (ingroup solidarity) and derogate other groups (outgroup hostility), a…
