    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Tatsunori Hashimoto, Stanford Title: New directions in synthetic data Abstract: Synthetic data has been an effective, if boring set of techniques: prompt some language model to restructure your corpus to match some downstream task, with occasionally some distillation. In this talk, we will take a more expansive view of […]
