Can weak LLMs supervise strong LLMs to obtain superior performance? 🤔 Yes!! 🤩 Which weak models are better supervisors? 🤔 Check out @xue_yihao65785’s awesome #icml2025 paper to know how to identify best weak supervisors without having to collect labels! 🎉🌱

🎉 Our paper “Representations Shape Weak-to-Strong Generalization” is accepted at #ICML2025! We study weak-to-strong generalization (W2SG)—a core problem in superalignment—and offer new insights into the role of models' internal representations in W2SG. 1/

#ICLR2025 Can you pre-train deep models with small, synthetic datasets? 🤯 We introduce the first effective dataset distillation method for self-supervised learning (SSL) — boosting downstream accuracy by up to 13% over baselines. 🧪 Poster #307, Sat Apr 26, 9am

Sharing a little late update (before it’s no longer news): I wrapped up my PhD at the end of last year and recently joined @OpenAI’s reasoning team 🍓✨!
