[1/7] Why do frontier LLMs make factual errors?
Is it because they never learned the factโฆ
or because they canโt access knowledge they already encoded?
In our new paper, we show:
The bottleneck is not encoding; it is recall. ๐งต๐

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! ๐ฆ๐น๐ฆ๐น @DrorRotem @roireichart
The goal? To help justify using LLMs over humans. If the LLM passes the test, its annotations can be trusted ๐

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? ๐ค
Hereโs a simple (and low-effort) solution: show the LLM is a *comparable alternative annotator* โ

Preferences drive modern LLM research and development: from model alignment to evaluation.
But how well do we understand them?

I am looking for NLP/CV datasets that:
1. include annotator IDs
2. have multiple annotators per item
3. feature interesting tasks (including generation)
Any suggestions?
