Instructional prompts like “Let’s think step-by-step” changed how we use or train LLMs, but why do they work?

Our paper introduces ZIP, a new metric that quantifies the importance of individual words in zero-shot prompts, revealing how prompt wording shapes LLM behavior.

@itsArmanj چقدر جالب شد نتایج جدید مرسی. مخصوصا با heatmap واضح تر میشه مدل‌ها رو مقایسه کرد تو تاپیک‌های مختلف.

[Nikta Gohari Sadr @NiktaSadr]

@itsArmanj قابلی نداشت 😂
هدف این بود که اگر ما بخوایم از LLM ها به عنوان agent در customer service, tourism, negotiation و غیره یا حتی توی کارهای روزمره مثل اینکه جواب این ایمیلو بده یا توی فلان موقعیت چی جواب بدم استفاده کنیم، باید بتونن مناسب با مدل ارتباط و فرهنگ اون کشور جواب بدن.

Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound.

Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

"Human language acts as a compression and decompression scheme—the listener must decompress the meaning of words in the same way the speaker intended"

Thank you, @BenjEdwards, for your thoughtful insights on our work 🙏

This paper is not worthy of you.

Persians know I’m not insulting it, but doing taarof.
Our recently accepted EMNLP 2025 paper on Persian pragmatics in LLMs is now on arXiv!

Thank you to brilliant co-authors @NiktaSadr, Sahar, Laleh, and Karine!
