LATM framework uses LLMs to create and reuse tools for efficient problem-solving.

problem Improving problem-solving capabilities of LLMs with external tools.
method Closed-loop framework with two phases: tool making and tool using. LLMs act as both tool makers and users. Resource-intensive model for tool making, lightweight model for tool using.
result LATM framework achieves performance equivalent to using a powerful LLM for both roles but with significantly reduced costs.

New findings show tool-augmented models can recall unlimited facts, outperforming purely memorized models.

problem Limitations of purely memorized models in recalling large amounts of factual information.
method Demonstrated the benefits of in-tool learning (external retrieval) over in-weight learning (memorization) for factual recall.
result Proved that tool-use enables unbounded factual recall via a simple and efficient circuit construction.

In this paper we explore the richness of information captured by the latent space of a vision-based generative model. The model combines unsupervised generative learning with a task-based performance predictor to learn and to exploit task-relevant object affordances given visual observations from a reaching task, invol…

Generative tools mimic stock market traders using synthetic data.

problem Imitating trading behavior of stock market participants.
method Modified state-space model applied to limit order book data, trained on synthetic data generated from a heterogeneous agent-based model.
result Model's predicted distribution matches ground truths from the agent-based model.

We derive generalization error bounds for traditional time-series forecasting models. Our results hold for many standard forecasting tools including autoregressive models, moving average models, and, more generally, linear state-space models. These non-asymptotic bounds need only weak assumptions on the data-generating…

Exact Bayesian inference for discrete models using probability generating functions.

problem Discrete statistical models with infinite support and continuous priors.
method Probabilistic programming language with automatic differentiation and probability generating functions.
result Genfer tool provides exact solutions for a wide range of inference problems.

One of the open challenges in designing robots that operate successfully in the unpredictable human environment is how to make them able to predict what actions they can perform on objects, and what their effects will be, i.e., the ability to perceive object affordances. Since modeling all the possible world interactio…

A study ranks critical Lean Six Sigma tools for implementation in Portuguese companies.

problem Identifying the most important tools for successful Lean Six Sigma implementation in Portugal.
method An online survey with Portuguese consultants evaluated 37 tools based on frequency of use, difficulty, importance, and impact. A ranking was developed using a procedure to assess consultants' know-how.
result Honshin Kanri, VOC, VSM were identified as the most important tools for Lean Six Sigma implementation.

Develops a tool to identify abnormal blood smear results based on CBC tests.

problem Manual review of blood smears by technologists is time-consuming and inconsistent.
method Cost-sensitive Lasso-penalized additive logistic regression combined with stability selection.
result The tool correctly identifies true cutoff values for abnormal smear results.

Deep learning generalizes well despite being overparameterized.

problem Why deep networks generalize well despite fitting training data perfectly.
method Empirical study of training methods and derivation of data-dependent generalization bounds.
result Uniform convergence alone is insufficient for explaining generalization in overparameterized settings.

We offer a graphical interpretation of unfairness in a dataset as the presence of an unfair causal path in the causal Bayesian network representing the data-generation mechanism. We use this viewpoint to revisit the recent debate surrounding the COMPAS pretrial risk assessment tool and, more generally, to point out tha…
