  • The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence: "From F to A on the N.Y. Regents Science Exams: An Overview of the Aristo Project" by Peter Clark et al (Sep 2019), which was referenced 9 times, including in the article AI Can Pass Standardized Tests—But It Would Fail Preschool in Wired News. The paper got social media traction with 134 shares. A user, @peterjansen_ai, tweeted "Here is the paper describing AI2's system that achieves 90% accuracy on the 8th grade standardized science exams. It's truly incredible to see how much of this comes from contextualized embeddings -- I never thought they would do that well on this complex inference task".
