🚨 [Token][ization] Paper Alert 🚨

Tokenization is a wildly understudied area of language modeling despite it having effects across all of NLP. Over the past ~8 months, 32 (!) tokenizer researchers put together the most comprehensive survey of the field. Check it out!

I recently contributed an article to @tokyodev_com about doing a PhD in Japan while working part time.

Doing my PhD this way was quite fun. The Japanese PhD system is not without flaws, but it also has some really nice advantages compared to the US/etc. Plus the added benefit of living in Japan, of course.

look, if you are a professional shadow puppeteer with a PhD in projective geometry i think you deserve to get the bag like this

go on, tell me
is this legit generalization for once, or did Anthropic and OpenAI buy a dataset from professional shadow puppeteers with Ph.Ds in projective geometry at 3x their hourly rates?

These types of papers always make me wonder how did anyone even stumble upon this?

Like I'm not surprised that this general effect exists, but I am surprised that _this specific family_ of instances exists.

Put a heart ❤️ next to a coding problem, and Claude & GPT write recursive code 100% of the time (0% baseline). They also can't tell you why!

Excited to share “A Heart Means Recursion” from my summer at @GoogleDeepMind, on how VLMs read & communicate with visual symbols. 🧵
