Unsupervised Data Pruning: New method removes useless machine learning data.

Large datasets often contain overly similar examples that consume training cycles without contributing to learning. A new paper identifies similar training examples, even if they’re not labeled.

Language Models Defy Logic: Large NLP models struggle with logical reasoning.

Who would disagree that, if all people are mortal and Socrates is a person, Socrates must be mortal? GPT-3, for one. Recent work shows that bigger language models are not necessarily better when it comes to logical reasoning.
