Red Teaming Language Models with Language Models
In our recent paper, we show that it is possible to automatically find inputs that elicit harmful text from language models by generating inputs using language models themselves. Our approach...

Spurious normativity enhances learning of compliance and enforcement behavior in artificial agents
In our recent paper we explore how multi-agent deep reinforcement learning can serve as a model of complex social interactions, like the formation of social norms. This new class of models could...

Language modelling at scale: Gopher, ethical considerations, and retrieval
Language, and its role in demonstrating and facilitating comprehension - or intelligence - is a fundamental part of being human. It gives people the ability to communicate thoughts and concepts,...

Creating Interactive Agents with Imitation Learning
We show that imitation learning of human-human interactions in a simulated world, in conjunction with self-supervised learning, is sufficient to produce a multimodal interactive agent, which we...

Improving language models by retrieving from trillions of tokens
We explore an alternate path for improving language models: we augment transformers with retrieval over a database of text passages including web pages, books, news and code. We call our method...

On the Expressivity of Markov Reward
Our main results prove that while reward can express many tasks, there exist instances of each task type that no Markov reward function can capture. We then provide a set of polynomial-time...

Unsupervised deep learning identifies semantic disentanglement in single inferotemporal face patch neurons
Our brain has an amazing ability to process visual information. We can take one glance at a complex scene, and within milliseconds be able to parse it into objects and their attributes, like...
