I’m fascinated by the idea of a game like No Man’s Sky where infinite new civilizations could be generated dynamically with their own languages as the player explores the universe.

The number of languages in the world just got a lot higher! At least constructed ones. Meet ConlangCrafter - a pipeline for creating novel languages with LLMs. A Japanese-Esperanto creole? An alien cephalopod color-based language? Enter your idea and see a conlang emerge. 🧵👇

💥New preprint! WildCAT3D uses tourist photos in-the-wild as supervision to learn to generate novel, consistent views of scenes like the one shown below. h/t Tom Monnier and all collaborators (1/5)

Disappointing that arXiv doesn't allow XeLaTex/LuaLaTex submissions, which have the least broken multilingual support of LaTeX compilers. The web shouldn't be limited to English in 2025!

Cuneiform at #ICLR2025! ProtoSnap finds the configuration of wedges in scanned cuneiform signs for downstream applications like OCR. A new tool for understanding the ancient world! tau-vailab.github.io/ProtoSnap/ h/t Rachel Mikulinsky @ShGordin @ElorHadar and all collaborators. 🧵👇

Thrilled to announce our new work TestGenEval, a benchmark that measures unit test generation and test completion capabilities. This work was done in collaboration with the FAIR CodeGen team. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2410.00752 Leaderboard: testgeneval.github.io/leaderboard....

Great news! BERT-like models are extremely useful and imo unfairly overlooked in the recent GenAI hype cycle. Looking forward to playing with this

Playing with Suno AI song generation again, v3.5 seems to be more consistently catchy and better at (non-English) languages. This is not bad and funny how it sounds like a lot of Israeli prog-rock songs... suno.com/song/1e21b93...

Here's the unlikely century-long story of how a non-gendered pronoun became gendered, and then got itself re-de-gendered. This one's got everything! Poetry! Grammar! Love songs! Queer communities! Unicode! and ... Y.R. Chao! What more could you want? #langsky 🀄️📚 1/

Omg, it's the new kiki-bouba! R and L are associated with jagged and straight lines respectively, in languages where <R> represents a trill. pubs.aip.org/asa/jasa/art...

Cross-posting our recent work from this #ECCV2024! CLIP shows emergent understanding of *visual-semantic hierarchies*. Our benchmark *HierarCaps* gives GT to measure and further align this! Project page: hierarcaps.github.io Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2407.08521
