Computational notebooks are notoriously prone to reproducibility failures. By permitting out-of-order cell execution, notebooks accumulate hidden state and implicit dependencies that cause interactive executions to silently diverge from…
Jupyter Notebooks are an enormously popular tool for creating and narrating computational research projects. They also have enormous potential for creating reproducible scientific research artifacts. Capturing the complete state of a…
Modern machine learning systems use models trained on ever-growing corpora. Typically, metadata such as ownership, access control, or licensing information is ignored during training. Instead, to mitigate privacy risks, we rely on generic…
Jupyter notebooks represent a unique format for programming - a combination of code and Markdown with rich formatting, separated into individual cells. We propose to perceive a Jupyter Notebook cell as a simplified and raw version of a…
Machine unlearning aims to remove sensitive or undesired data from large language models. However, recent studies suggest that unlearning is often shallow, claiming that removed knowledge can easily be recovered. In this work, we critically…
Abstract Machine understanding of questions is tightly related to recognition of articulation in the context of the computational capabilities of an underlying processing algorithm. In this paper a mathematical model to capture and…
Model selection is a necessary step in unsupervised machine learning. Despite numerous criteria and metrics, model selection remains subjective. A high degree of subjectivity may lead to questions about repeatability and reproducibility of…
In this paper, we study the task of selecting the optimal response given a user and system utterance history in retrieval-based multi-turn dialog systems. Recently, pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA) showed…
Human feedback data is a critical component in developing language models. However, collecting this feedback is costly and ultimately not scalable. Inspired by the way human interlocutors provide spontaneous unsolicited feedback to each…
