We are getting closer to have agents operating in the real physical world. However, can we trust frontier models to make embodied decisions 🎮 aligned with human norms 👩‍⚖️ ?

With EgoNormia, a 1.8k ego-centric video 🥽 QA benchmark, we show that this is surprisingly challenging!

We (w/ @diyiyang.bsky.social, @zhuhao.me, & Bodhisattwa Prasad Majumder) are excited to present our #NAACL25 tutorial on Social Intelligence in the Age of LLMs!
It will highlight long-standing and emerging challenges of AI interacting w humans, society & the world.

LM agents today primarily aim to automate tasks. Can we turn them into collaborative teammates? 🤖➕👤

Introducing Collaborative Gym (Co-Gym), a framework for enabling & evaluating human-agent collaboration! I now get used to agents proactively seeking confirmations or my deep thinking.(🧵 with video)

My first bluesky post will be for my first project as a postdoc at Stanford.

Talk Arena is our first step towards building audio LMs into interactive agents. Try it out and let me know what you think. talkarena.org

Want to add your model to the arena? Have an idea for a new feature for Talk Arena? We are open to collaboration in many forms!

Co-led with @ellaminzhili.bsky.social in collaboration with @michaelryan207.bsky.social Kunat Pipatanakul Potsawee Manakul @zhuhao.me and @diyiyang.bsky.social (5/5)

With an increasing number of Large *Audio* Models 🔊, which one do users like the most?

Introducing talkarena.org — an open platform where users speak to LAMs and receive text responses. Through open interaction, we focus on rankings based on user preferences rather than static benchmarks.

Excited to present our PrivacyLens paper at #NuerIPS next week! We explore LM agent privacy risks when deployed as personal assistants. (Details in thread)

I am working on developing LM agents as collaborative research partners, learning aids, personal assistants, and more. Let's connect and chat!!

Meet Tülu 3, a set of state-of-the-art instruct models with fully open data, eval code, and training algorithms.
We invented new methods for fine-tuning language models with RL and built upon best practices to scale synthetic instruction and preference data.

Missed some – or all – of our papers at #EMNLP2024?

It's not too late to catch up using this handy list from the Stanford AI Lab blog:

🌶️(?) take: Agents are somehow hot right because people realized that LLM output can be interpreted as a DSL which directs side effects in the world (e.g. tool calls) rather than just returning text in a chat/autocomplete sense. What are the open challenges? A 🧵... [1/11]

I did an unscientific, uncontrolled experiment for #EMNLP2024—details in 🧵👇. I posted my conference & workshop papers to 5 socials. Clear results: Mastodon is near dead, Threads may have users but not my people, not giving up on X/Twitter yet, but Bluesky is worth investing in.

Had a great time doing the language agent tutorial (language-agent-tutorial.github.io) with Yu Su, Shunyu Yao and Tao Yu 😀 #EMNLP2024

Check out our slides here: tinyurl.com/language-age...

I'll be at the Google Theory and Practice of Foundation Models Workshop today and tomorrow! FOMO for EMNLP, but excited to chat more casually at a smaller non-archival workshop 😅

I am presenting at the Lightning Talks tomorrow at 1:30 PM on our Distilled Voice Assistant model if you're around!

Every semester, I drop into Georgia Tech's Deep Learning course to do a speed-through LLM lecture! I keep updating things to balance "history" and recent progress.

Slides for this semester are here for folks who are teaching courses on NLP/DL/LLMs in the near future: docs.google.com/presentation...

I wanted to contribute to "Starter Pack Season" with one for Stanford NLP+HCI: go.bsky.app/VZBhuJ5
