Modern large language model (LLM) alignment techniques rely on human feedback, but it is unclear whether the techniques fundamentally limit the capabilities of aligned LLMs. In particular, it is unclear whether it is possible to align (stronger) LLMs with superhuman capabilities with (weaker) human…
Often in prediction tasks, the predictive model itself can influence the distribution of the target variable, a phenomenon termed *performative prediction*. Generally, this influence stems from strategic actions taken by stakeholders with a vested interest in predictive models. A key challenge that…
Scaling laws for large language models (LLMs) predict model performance based on parameters like size and training data. However, differences in training configurations and data processing across model families lead to significant variations in benchmark performance, making it difficult for a single…
Motivated by equilibrium models of labor markets, we develop a formulation of causal strategic classification in which strategic agents can directly manipulate their outcomes. As an application, we consider employers that seek to anticipate the strategic response of a labor force when developing a h…
