    RT @dongyeopkang: Check out @shirley_ah_'s Kolab project benchmarking human-AI collaboration long-horion workflow from 115+ hours of videos across 40 occupations by 50 professionals! Rather than benchmarking how frontier models fully automate your tasks, we should study how they better help and collaborate with human professionals.

    AI agents are getting better at automating long-horizon tasks. But in reality, we need agents that COLLABORATE with humans, not just complete tasks! Introducing 🔥 Kolab: 115+ hours of human-agent collaboration in professional long-horizon workflows. 🧵

    RT @dongyeopkang: How much time do you struggle to edit AI-generated "slop" in your teams’ work? We built a system to help automate the process. Our Scientific Slop Index (SSI) measures scientific slop in a draft not only looking at words but also investigating their scientific reasoning process: whether sections build on one another, claims and citations are argued, and the method and evidence can be inspected. Upload your paper and see what it finds! 🌐 Project: 📄 Paper: 🤗 Benchmark: We plan to run the system on 60K ICLR submissions. Stay tuned! We’re looking for collaborators, sponsors, and contributors. Have examples of scientific slop you’ve encountered? Submit them to help expand our benchmark—or reach out if you’d like to get involved.

    AI detectors read your sentences. We read your scientific reasoning and score its slop. Every ICLR year, 2017–2025: papers with more our "scientific slop" got lower reviewer ratings and were rejected more often. Calculate yours:

    RT @Ali_Anwar: Can a model adapt itself according to each incoming prompt? Our recent paper shows that it is indeed possible.

    🚀 What if we could scale LLM inference by sampling different model weights, not just more tokens? We show that a single query can be enough to generate useful LoRA updates, and that predicting a distribution over them is key to making hypernets work! Here's what we found 🧵
