My first paper

Posted on June 14, 2024

It's on arXiv! (written 10 June)

Last year, I spent half a year in Zurich at ETH, and in the second class of Ryan Cotterell’s excellent Large Language Models course I walked up to him to ask if he was looking for research assistants. It has since been a year with several ups and downs, but today, we (meaning myself, Josef Valvoda, Tianyu Liu, Anej Svete and Ryan Cotterell) put up a paper on arXiv, titled somewhat dramatically “A Fundamental Tradeoff in Aligned Language Models and its Relationship to Sampling Adaptors”. You can find it here.
