What is your opinion on the Low Probability Estimation paper published this year at ICLR?
I don’t have a background in the field, but it seems like they were able to get some results, that indicate the approach is able to extract some results. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.13211
It’s a nice paper, and I’m glad they did the research, but importantly, the paper reports a negative result about our agenda. The main result is that the method inspired by our ideas under-performs the baseline. Of course, these are just the first experiments, work is ongoing, this is not conclusive negative evidence for anything. But the paper certainly shouldn’t be counted as positive evidence for ARC’s ideas.

Thanks for the clarification! Not in the field and wasn’t sure I understood the meaning of the results correctsly.
