📣 New paper!
We observe that reasoning language models finetuned only on English data are capable of zero-shot cross-lingual reasoning through a "quote-and-think" pattern.
However, this does not mean they reason the same way across all languages or in new domains.

While everyone enjoys the last day of the beautiful Vancouver 🏔️🇨🇦, consider join our initiative and contribute to building models with more inclusivity and diversity, and mitigating implicit and explicit bias.
‼️Cuz we are in the post-training era now‼️
⭐️ We're going to launch Grassroots Science, a year-long ambitious, massive-scale, fully open-source initiative aimed at developing multilingual LLMs aligned to diverse and inclusive human preferences in Feb 2025.

First bsky post about tinlab at #EMNLP2024! A few highlights:
* Presentations from Aditya Yedetore and Hayley Ross on neural network generalizations!
* I'm giving a keynote at GenBench & organizing BlackboxNLP
* Ask me about our faculty hiring & PhD/postdoc positions at Boston University!
