  1. In-context Learning and Induction Heads (2022 · 475 citations)
    The authors from Anthropic search for the internal mechanism of transformer language models that is responsible for in-context learning.
  2. Scaling Laws and Interpretability of Learning from Repeated Data (2022 · 91 citations)
    Large language models often see the same data several times. Sometimes this is done deliberately, to upweight high-quality sources, and sometimes it results from incomplete deduplication. The authors from Anthropic investigate why even a small fraction of repeated data harms models so severely. They train a family of…
