Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Contrast Pairs Drive the Empirical Performance of Contrast Consistent Search (CCS), published by Scott Emmons on May 31, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. tl;dr Contrast consistent search (CCS) is a method by Burns et al. that consists of two parts: Generate contrast pairs by adding pseudolabels to an unlabelled dataset. Use the contrast pairs to search for a direction in representation space that satisfies logical consistency properties. In discussions with other researchers, I've repeatedly heard (2) as the explanation for how CCS works; I've heard almost no mention of (1). In this post, I want to emphasize that the contrast pairs drive almost all of the empirical performance in Burns et al. Once we have the contrast pairs, standard unsupervised learning methods attain comparable performance to the new CCS loss function. In the paper, Burns et al. do a nice job comparing the CCS loss function to different alternatives. The simplest such alternative runs principal component analysis (PCA) on contrast pair differences, and then it uses the top principal component as a classifier. Another alternative runs linear discriminant analysis (LDA) on contrast pair differences. These alternatives attain 97% and 98% of CCS's accuracy! "[R]epresentations of truth tend to be salient in models: ... they can often be found by taking the top principal component of a slightly modified representation space," Burns et al. write in the introduction. If I understand this statement correctly, it's saying the same thing I want to emphasize in this post: the contrast pairs are what allow Burns et al. to find representations of truth. Empirically, once we have the representations of contrast pair differences, their variance points in the direction of truth. The new logical consistency loss in CCS isn't needed for good empirical performance. Notation We'll follow the notation of the CCS paper. Assume we are given a data set {x1,x2,.,xn} and a feature extractor ϕ(), such as the hidden state of a pretrained language model. First, we will construct a contrast pair for each datapoint xi. We add “label: positive” and “label: negative” to each xi. This gives contrast pairs of the form (x+i,x−i). Now, we consider the set {x+1,x+2,.,x+n} of positive pseudo-labels and {x−1,x−2,.,x−n} of negative pseudo-labels. Because all of the x+i have "label: positive" and all of the x−i have "label: negative", we normalize the positive pseudo-labels and the negative pseudo-labels separately: Here, μ+ and μ− are the element-wise means of the positive and negative pseudo-label sets, respectively. Similarly, σ+ and σ− are the element-wise standard deviations. The goal of this normalization is to remove the embedding of "label: positive" from all the positive pseudo-labels (and "label: negative" from all the negative pseudo-labels). The hope is that by construction, the only difference between ~ϕ(x+i) and ~ϕ(x−i) is that one is true while the other is false. CCS is one way to extract the information about true and false. As we'll discuss more below, doing PCA or LDA on the set of differences {~ϕ(x+i)−~ϕ(x−i)}ni=1 works almost as well. Concept Embeddings in Prior Work In order to better understand contrast pairs, I think it's helpful to review this famous paper by Bolukbasi et al., 2016: "Man is to Computer Programmer as Woman is to Homemaker? Debiasing Word Embeddings." Quoting from Bolukbasi et al.: −−−man−−−−−−woman≈−−−king−−−−−queen Vector differences between words in embeddings have been shown to represent relationships between words. For example given an analogy puzzle, "man is to king as woman is to x" (denoted as man:king :: woman:x), simple arithmetic of the embedding vectors finds that x=queen is the best answer because: Similarly, x=Japan is returned for Paris:France :: Tokyo:x.

Hi all in Ep104 we chat with Dave Murphy from his hideaway on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. We chat about quite a number of subjects to some Dave may sound controversial even to truthers, but we love these type of chats and we need more people like Dave who is willing to go where others won't tread. Dave's website link is below along with his bio. Allegedly Dave: HomeDave Murphy (Allegedly Dave) is a former Graphic Designer, Electronic Engineer and Computer Programmer, in 2005 his mid-life crisis opened his eyes to the lie that is modern society and his life took a different direction as a seeker of truth who has independently researched diverse yet interconnected topics such as New World Order Conspiracy, The Monetary System, The Legal System, The Healthcare System, The Flat Earth and Human History.
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [MLSN #7]: an example of an emergent internal optimizer, published by Josh Clymer on January 9, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. As part of a larger community building effort, CAIS is writing a safety newsletter that is designed to cover empirical safety research and be palatable to the broader machine learning research community. You can subscribe here or follow the newsletter on twitter here. Welcome to the 7th issue of the ML Safety Newsletter! In this edition, we cover: ‘Lie detection' for language models A step towards objectives that incorporate wellbeing Evidence that in-context learning invokes behavior similar to gradient descent What's going on with grokking? Trojans that are harder to detect Adversarial defenses for text classifiers And much more. Alignment Discovering Latent Knowledge in Language Models Without Supervision Is it possible to design ‘lie detectors' for language models? The author of this paper proposes a method that tracks internal concepts that may track truth. It works by finding a direction in feature space that satisfies the property that a statement and its negation must have opposite truth values. This has similarities to the seminal paper “Man is to Computer Programmer as Woman is to Homemaker? Debiasing Word Embeddings” (2016), which captures latent neural concepts like gender with PCA, but this method is unsupervised and about truth instead of gender. The method outperforms zero-shot accuracy by 4% on average, which suggests something interesting: language models encode more information about what is true and false than their output indicates. Why would a language model lie? A common reason is that models are pre-trained to imitate misconceptions like “If you crack your knuckles a lot, you may develop arthritis.” This paper is an exciting step toward making models honest, but it also has limitations. The method does not necessarily serve as a `lie detector'; it is unclear how to ensure that it reliably converges to the model's latent knowledge rather than lies that the model may output. Secondly, advanced future models could adapt to this specific method if they are aware of it. This may be a useful baseline for analyzing models that are designed to deceive humans, like models trained to play games including Diplomacy and Werewolf. [Link] How Would the Viewer Feel? Estimating Wellbeing From Video Scenarios Many AI systems optimize user choices. For example, a recommender system might be trained to promote content the user will spend lots of time watching. But choices, preferences, and wellbeing are not the same! Choices are easy to measure but are only a proxy for preferences. For example, a person might explicitly prefer not to have certain videos in their feed but watch them anyway because they are addictive. Also, preferences don't always correspond to wellbeing; people can want things that are not good for them. Users might request polarizing political content even if it routinely agitates them. Predicting human emotional reactions to video content is a step towards designing objectives that take wellbeing into account. This NeurIPS oral paper introduces datasets containing 80,000+ videos labeled by the emotions they induce. The paper also explores “emodiversity”---the variety of experienced emotions---so that systems can recommend a variety of positive emotions, rather than pushing one type of experience. The paper includes analysis of how it bears on advanced AI risks in the appendix. [Link] Why Can GPT Learn In-Context?

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, was born on December 10, 1815. She was the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron and his wife Anne Isabella Noel Byron. Ada Lovelace was an extremely brilliant woman, who excelled in mathematics, and today she is widely acknowledged as the first computer programmer.
Born in 1815, Ada Byron was the only legitimate child of the famous poet Lord Byron. Unlike her famous father, Ada did not pursue a literary career. Guided by her mother, she took a diametrically different path studying math and logic. At the age of 17, she had a chance encounter with Charles Babbage, who was designing the world's first mechanical computer. It was the beginning of a groundbreaking collaboration that would only be understood over a century later.

To suffer is a choice and one can choose not to.....was a revelation. Seeing someone in a similar place, or living under the illusion that suffering is not her reality by denying to acknowledge it is something she finds impossible. It's her life's purpose to make each person free from any kind of emotional bondage by walking through it - not by ignoring it. And while tools and techniques are effective, Sound & Energy are magical. What a session in Sound can achieve, effortlessly...takes much work when done using the cognitive mind.

It's our 100th episode! Let's celebrate, but in the middle of the celebration, let's have an existential crisis! It was tough to be happy this week, but I was able to do it because I had something special in my back pocket: an interview with Charnaie Gordon. Charnaie is a wife, mom, and former Computer Programmer turned full-time Content Creator and Author with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science/Information Technology. She's also a Distinguished Toastmaster and huge literacy advocate/champion. Her blog, Here Wee Read, is where she expresses her creativity and passion for reading, diverse literature, and literacy. She's also the founder of a children's literacy organization, 50 States 50 Books, where her family collects and donates diverse children's books to deserving kids in each of the 50 U.S. states. We also talked about the changes we've made in our life because of the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Bookworms, there was simply no better way to celebrate 100 episodes than to hang out with Charnaie. Make sure you listen to the end of the episode to learn how you can help me celebrate 100 episodes by helping Charnaie out.

I'm not on TikTok, Facebook or Twitter, but if you promote her work through those channels, just screenshot it and shoot me an email so I can see it. Everyone who promotes her, whether it's through money, books, or exposure, and then lets me know about it, will be entered into a drawing, and one randomly chosen winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to their favorite indie bookstore.

The deadline to enter this drawing is June 30, 2022. HOW TO SUPPORT GUN REFORM LEGISLATION IN AMERICA Find your senators here. Find your representatives here. I know it can sound intimidating to call a lawmaker. But your calls MATTER. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for the office of your elected official. The person who answers your call will make note of your message and pass it on to the member of Congress. Their addresses are also listed if you would like to send something in writing. This script is easy to follow, though feel free to modify it so you feel comfortable: "Good morning. My name is _____ and I live at _____. I am a constituent and have a deep love for my community and neighbors. I urge Senator/Representative _____, as an elected official who represents me, to protect our safety by leading the way toward gun violence prevention. Specifically, I am asking Senator/Rep _____ to advocate for the The Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021 (H.R. Eight) and the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021 (H.R. 1446). I will be casting my next vote based on his or her legislative response to the gun violence epidemic in America. Thank you for your time." (That part in bold is the really important part. It's time we let our lawmakers know that their response to gun violence will decide their future in politics.) If you'd like to make a cash donation, I like these two organizations, both of which are rated highly on Charity Navigator: Everytown.org Sandy Hook Promise (Note: Some of the above book links are affiliate links, meaning I get a few bucks off your purchase at no extra expense to you.

Hello to you listening in Naples, Florida! Coming to you from Whidbey Island Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Computer programmer Garry Hamilton drew up 5 Game Rules to help us live and work better together. Game Rules [Courtesy of Garry Hamilton as cited in Pronoia]"1. If the game is rigged so you can't win, find another game or invent your own.2. If you're not winning because you don't know the rules, learn the rules.3. If you know the rules but aren't willing to follow them, there's either something wrong with the game or you need to change something in yourself.4. Don't play the game in a half-baked way. Either get all the way in or all the way out.5. It shouldn't be necessary for others to lose in order for you to win. If others have to lose, re-evaluate the game's goals." Question: Which Game Rule will follow you home, sit at your table, share your bread? You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
