### AI overview

The article explains why repeated evaluation on held-out benchmarks can cause overfitting, then frames the apparent contradiction in machine learning research, where benchmark-driven iteration is widespread. It also summarizes research suggesting that compressible models limit memorization.

### Source excerpt

New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don't have enough space to enable memorization.

### AI overview

Two Sigma reviews selected papers and presentations from NeurIPS 2023, with particular attention to large language models and statistical learning. It discusses research arguing that some apparent emergent abilities in LLMs may result from nonlinear metrics, limited evaluation resolution, and insufficient sampling.
