[1/7] Why do frontier LLMs make factual errors? Is it because they never learned the factโ€ฆ or because they canโ€™t access knowledge they already encoded? In our new paper, we show: The bottleneck is not encoding; it is recall. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.14080 Many thanks to @_galyo @bd_eyal @zorikgekhman @eran_ofek59358 @GoogleResearch

A strange trend I've noticed at #ACL2025 is that people are hesitant to reach out to papers/"academic products" authors. This is unfortunate for both parties! A simple email can save a lot of time to the sender, but is also one of my favorite kind of email as the receiver!

The Alternative Annotator Test (alt-test) is a new statistical procedure proposed in our ACL 2025 paper! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น @DrorRotem @roireichart The goal? To help justify using LLMs over humans. If the LLM passes the test, its annotations can be trusted ๐Ÿ˜Ž arxiv.org/abs/2501.10970

Everyone uses LLMs to annotate data or evaluate models in their research. But how can we convince others (readers, collaborators, reviewers!!!) that LLMs are reliable? ๐Ÿค– Hereโ€™s a simple (and low-effort) solution: show the LLM is a *comparable alternative annotator* โœ…

I was deeply offended by a slide in a recent talk at #CVPR2024 that falsely accused my country of genocide. Such baseless political statements have no place in our scientific community. Let's keep our focus on advancing science and leave politics at the door. @CVPR
