The Quality of Auto-Generated Code

O'Reilly Media

Kevlin Henney and I were riffing on some ideas about GitHub Copilot , the tool for automatically generating code base on GPT-3’s language model, trained on the body of code that’s in GitHub. This article poses some questions and (perhaps) some answers, without trying to present any conclusions. First, we wondered about code quality. There are lots of ways to solve a given programming problem; but most of us have some ideas about what makes code “good” or “bad.”

What is Tokenization in NLP?

Lexalytics

Tokenization is an interesting part of text analytics and NLP. A “token” in natural language terms is “ an instance of a sequence of characters in some particular document that are grouped together as a useful semantic unit for processing.” Like the roots and branches of a tree, the whole of human language is a mess of natural outgrowths—split, decaying, vibrant, and blooming.

A Preliminary Exploration into Factored Cognition with Language Models

Eleuther.ai

We perform a series of experiments using GPT-3 with decomposition to perform complex toy tasks that it is otherwise unable to solve. The goal of these experiments is to provide some preliminary evidence for the viability of factored cognition in real world models. For our synthetic task, we chose a series of various arithmetic tasks. Aside from the ease of generating examples, another advantage of arithmetic related task settings is GPT-3's inability to perform even simple mathematical operation

Selective Classification Can Magnify Disparities Across Groups

The Stanford AI Lab Blog

Selective classification, where models are allowed to “abstain” when they are uncertain about a prediction, is a useful approach for deploying models in settings where errors are costly. For example, in medicine, model errors can have life-or-death ramifications, but abstentions can be easily handled by backing off to a doctor, who then makes a diagnosis.
