We built an AI system for solving crossword puzzles that outperforms the world’s best humans.
It works by combining deep learning with traditional probabilistic search and inference methods.

me(俺), me(僕), or me(私)? What makes translation especially fascinating is the difference between types of nuance captured in one language (but not another). In our #EMNLP2022 paper, we investigate this in MT. @CSatUSC@cutelabname_nlp@nlp_usc
Multi-task prompted LMs (e.g., T0) are powerful in unsupervised task generalization. Can we further enhance them via *retrieval augmentation*? To this end, we proposed a simple yet effective method named ReCross in #NeurIPS2022! ✨ [1/6]

@pcastr Thank you! Just read the post: it’s a great summary of why crosswords require different ideas in combination. e.g., it turns out that extractive QA models don’t do well alone since you can’t find many answers in corpora. Saw your puzzle before, joked that wr should feed it in :)

@dat1randomG Thanks for the kind words! The demo is using cached states, so it runs however fast you want. In practice, solving a puzzle is on the order of a minute or so.
See our paper for more details, especially on the remaining challenges left in crossword puzzles!

We won the biggest crossword tournament this weekend! Learned so many fun tricks about crosswords while working on this project. Stay tuned for a paper!
AI systems can now solve crosswords better than humans. The Berkeley Crossword Solver from @BerkeleyNLP helped propel Dr.Fill, an AI program created by @mattlginsberg, to 1st at #ACPT2021, the premier crossword tournament, solving the playoff puzzle in 49 seconds with no errors.
