🚀Introducing “StochasTok: Improving Fine-Grained Subword Understanding in LLMs”!🚀
LLMs are incredible but still struggle disproportionately with subword tasks, e.g., for character counts, wordplay, multi-digit numbers, fixing typos… Enter StochasTok, led by Anya Sims!

A graphic with a wavy gradient background in the department brand colours, with a lilac tint. To the left is an AI generated 3D rendered image (through Canva Dream Lab) of a microchip and internal computer parts and overlaying 2D circuit board lines to represent AI. The image is within an abstract frame. On top of the gradient background is text that reads: “CDT IN FUNDAMENTALS IN AI. University of Oxford. 2025/26 Admissions are now open. Application deadline: 8th January 2025. For more information visit https://dtc.ox.ac.uk/FOAI-CDT.”

This paper from Claudia Clopath's lab is very exciting for me.
I've been musing for a while now that the challenge of approximating gradient descent is probably made way easier in the brain by feedback signals for control.
Here they show it!!!
