A new arXiv paper shows that point-in-time language models—trained only on data available up to each calendar date—can now perform nearly as well as unrestricted models, eliminating lookahead bias that previously compromised financial backtests and causal inference.
Researchers are using AI agents to study negotiation strategies. This could help us understand how to balance empathy and assertiveness in real-life talks. The method allows for precise, repeatable experiments that humans can't easily replicate.
Researchers developed an AI system that can reproduce social science findings using only paper descriptions and raw data. The method achieves deterministic, cell-level result comparisons without access to original code or outputs.
