See More Episodes arXiv Whitepapers Task Ambiguity in Humans and Language Models Language models have recently achieved strong performance across a wide range of NLP benchmarks. However, unlike benchmarks, real world tasks are often poorly specified, and agents must deduce the user's intended behavior from a combination of context, instructions, and examples. We investigate how... Predictive Multiplicity in Probabilistic Classification There may exist multiple models that perform almost equally well for any given prediction task. We examine how predictions change across these competing models. In particular, we study predictive multiplicity -- in probabilistic classification. We formally define measures for our setting and develop... Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants? We conduct the first large-scale user study examining how users interact with an AI Code assistant to solve a variety of security related tasks across different programming languages. Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI's codex-davinci-002 model wrote...
