Learning Language by Exploration: Agent develops language skills through simulated exploration tasks

Machine learning models typically learn language by training on tasks like predicting the next word in a given text. Researchers trained a language model in a less focused, more human-like way.

Robot, Find My Keys: A machine learning model for robots to predict the location of objects in households

Researchers proposed a way for robots to find objects in households where things get moved around. Andrey Kurenkov and colleagues at Stanford University introduced Node Edge Predictor, a model that learned to predict where objects were located in houses.

ChatGPT Ain’t What It Used to Be: ChatGPT's behavior change over time

It wasn’t your imagination: OpenAI’s large language models have changed. Researchers at Stanford and UC Berkeley found that the performance of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 has drifted in recent months. In a limited selection of tasks, some prompts yielded better results than before, some worse.
