For this hackathon, we handcrafted a network to perfectly predict next token probabilities for the Random-Random-XOR process. The network takes existing tokens from the process's output, computes several features on these tokens, and then uses these features to calculate next token probabilities. These probabilities match those from a process simulator (also coded for this hackathon). The handcrafted network is our core contribution and we describe it in Section 3 of this writeup.

Prior work has demonstrated that a network trained on the Random-Random-XOR process approximates the 36 possible belief states. Our network does not directly calculate these belief states, demonstrating that networks trained on Hidden Markov Models may not need to comprehend all belief states. Our hope is that this work will aid in the interpretability of neural networks trained on Hidden Markov Models by demonstrating potential shortcuts that neural networks can take.

Safe ai

The rapid adoption of AI in critical industries like healthcare and legal services has highlighted the urgent need for robust risk mitigation mechanisms. While domain-specific AI agents offer efficiency, they often lack transparency and accountability, raising concerns about safety, reliability, and compliance. The stakes are high, as AI failures in these sectors can lead to catastrophic outcomes, including loss of life, legal repercussions, and significant financial and reputational damage. Current solutions, such as regulatory frameworks and quality assurance protocols, provide only partial protection against the multifaceted risks associated with AI deployment. This situation underscores the necessity for an innovative approach that combines comprehensive risk assessment with financial safeguards to ensure the responsible and secure implementation of AI technologies across high-stakes industries.

CoTEP: A Multi-Modal Chain of Thought Evaluation Platform for the Next Generation of SOTA AI Models

As advanced state-of-the-art models like OpenAI's o-1 series, the upcoming o-3 family, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking and DeepSeek display increasingly sophisticated chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities, our safety evaluations have not yet caught up. We propose building a platform that allows us to gather systematic evaluations of AI reasoning processes to create comprehensive safety benchmarks. Our Chain of Thought Evaluation Platform (CoTEP) will help establish standards for assessing AI reasoning and ensure development of more robust, trustworthy AI systems through industry and government collaboration.
