This is some great work!! I personally feel that one of the bottlenecks with memorization evals is having access to the gigantic training data. Super cool to see we can still run reliable evals without having access to the training data!
Want to know what training data has been memorized by models like GPT-4?

We propose information-guided probes, a method to uncover memorization evidence in *completely black-box* models,

without requiring access to
🙅‍♀️ Model weights
🙅‍♀️ Training data
🙅‍♀️ Token probabilities 🧵 (1/5)
Information-Guided Identification of Training Data Imprint in (Proprietary) Large Language Models
High-quality training data has proven crucial for developing performant large language models (LLMs). However, commercial LLM providers disclose few, if any, details about the data used for training. ...

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

an open source 7B replication of R1-zero and R1

notable: they claim they developed in parallel and that most of their experiments were performed *prior to* the release of R1 and they came to the same conclusions

Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity) tells Lex all the ways in which I was right against the prevalent ideas of the time: DL, ConvNets, energy-based models, SSL, the limitation of RL, and now the limitations of auto-regressive generative models including LLMs.
Thanks Aravind!

Medically adapted foundation models (think Med-*) turn out to be more hot air than hot stuff. Correcting for fatal flaws in evaluation, the current crop are no better on balance than generic foundation models, even on the very tasks for which benefits are claimed.
