I will accept a 5% drop in benchmarks for a model that talks to me like a human.
I strictly prefer when models ignore any human quirks in my responses. Claude trying to be your friend, saying LOL to your jokes is ridiculous and frankly, harmful
You don't even need to pay a 5% hit. Just paste Fable output into Gemini Flash and it will rewrite it in more accessible language.
Yeah. I've found that Opus by default outputs something I call "Claude-lang." It consists of oversimplified, grammatically incomplete sentences that I find painful to read.
Maybe it is something that is easy for it to read and write, but definitely not for humans.
For example,
Skim once now; refer back while reading Part II. \*Every bold technical term in Part II is defined here\* — treat these as a dictionary, not a reading assignment. The first table covers the vocabulary of the *deck*; the three that follow cover the *methodology* vocabulary introduced in Part II, grouped so you can find a term fast: \*(A)\* the logic of rules, \*(B)\* the neural-network & training machinery, \*(C)\* the method-design ideas.
JMRL is the paper the thesis instantiates, so this is the one to know cold. Its pitch is \*end-to-end\*: earlier rule methods (LogicRE, MILR) bolt a rule learner *onto a frozen* extractor in a pipeline and suffer \*error propagation\*; JMRL trains the rule module *jointly* with the extractor.
**Identity.** Conformal prediction for NER producing **finite-sample-valid prediction sets** at two granularities: **full-sequence** sets over entire label sequences (capturing contextual dependence — "if Sarah=PER then NYC likely LOC") and **subsequence-level** (per-span, **class-conditional**) sets; an **integrated** method filters full-sequence predictions with entity-level sets. Adds **covariate-stratified calibration** by **sentence length and language** for valid multilingual coverage, and studies **combined nonconformity scores** (Naive / Conditional / RAPS). **Read in this order.** Abstract → §1 contributions (full-sequence / subsequence / integrated / **covariate (length + language) calibration** / combined scores) → §2 CP recap (inductive split-CP) → §3 NER formulation (IOB2, CRF) → the subsequence / entity-level set construction + class-conditional coverage → the language-stratified calibration results. **Why it matters here.** The **span-level construction** for **Topic 11**'s per-triple score, and — crucially — its **language-stratified calibration is exactly the EN↔zh case**: it shows how to keep conformal coverage valid across languages of differing length/script. Complements PASC (pipeline-level joint coverage) with the *NER-internal* set construction. **Caveat.** A heavy statistics paper (44 pp., *Annals of Applied Statistics* submission) with CRF-based NER; the project needs only the **inductive split-CP + subsequence/entity-level sets + language-stratified calibration**, not the full-sequence machinery (likely overkill for triple-confidence). Assumes exchangeability — borderline under the EN→zh shift, which is precisely why the PASC/ConformalNER *shift* analyses matter.
(Yeah, Opus outputted it in one line)
Funny. I prefer a model that does not attempt to talk like a human.
