Highly recommend checking out this new paper from @dmshanmugam.bsky.social and @shuvoms.bsky.social!

New #NeurIPS2025 paper: how should we evaluate machine learning models without a large, labeled dataset? We introduce Semi-Supervised Model Evaluation (SSME), which uses labeled and unlabeled data to estimate performance! We find SSME is far more accurate than standard methods.

Social media feeds today are optimized for engagement, often leading to misalignment between users' intentions and technology use.

In a new paper, we introduce Bonsai, a tool to create feeds based on stated preferences, rather than predicted engagement.

In a new paper with @didaoh and Jon Kleinberg, we mapped the family trees of 1.86 million AI models on Hugging Face — the largest open-model ecosystem in the world.

AI evolution looks kind of like biology, but with some strange twists. 🧬🤖

A thoughtful new perspective from @kennypeng.bsky.social and @rajmovva.bsky.social et al. on why (and when) we should be excited about sparse autoencoders! arxiv.org/abs/2506.23845
📢New POSITION PAPER: Use Sparse Autoencoders to Discover Unknown Concepts, Not to Act on Known Concepts

Despite recent results, SAEs aren't dead! They can still be useful to mech interp, and also much more broadly: across FAccT, computational social science, and ML4H. 🧵

How do we reconcile excitement about sparse autoencoders with negative results showing that they underperform simple baselines? Our new position paper makes a distinction: SAEs are very useful for tools for discovering *unknown* concepts, less good for acting on *known* concepts.
