So excited to share our new paper — and also my first project in my PhD journey! 🎉 It’s striking to see how finetuning on a simple writing task unlocks verbatim recall of copyrighted books from many other authors not in the finetuning data. So grateful to work with such an amazing group of people! ✨

mentorship | Melanie Walsh Assistant Professor at UW in Seattle. Data science, digital humanities, literature, culture.

I'm recruiting a PhD student to join my group in 2025-2026. If you like the mountains and interdisciplinary research that blends data and culture, this could be a good fit!
