Reproducibility319 The backbone recommendation model, DLRM by Naumov et al. [2019], has an open-source PyTorch320 implementation available on Github which includes an implementation of CE. For CCE you need a321 fast library for K-means. We recommend the open-sourced implementation by Johnson et al. [2019]322 for better performance, but you can also use the implementation in Scikit-learn [Pedregosa et al.,323 2011]. The baseline result should be straightforward to reproduce as we closely follow the instructions324 provided by Naumov et al. [2019]. For the CE methods, we only need to change two functions in325 the code: create_emband apply_emb. We suggest using a class for each CE method; see Figure 3.326 For the random hash function, one could use a universal hash function or numpy.random.randint.327

In everyday conversations, humans can take on different roles and adapt their vocabulary to their chosen roles. We explore whether LLMs can take on, that is impersonate, different roles when they generate text in-context. We ask LLMs to assume different personas before solving vision and language tasks. We do this by prefixing the prompt with a persona that is associated either with a social identity or domain expertise. In a multi-armed bandit task, we find that LLMs pretending to be children of different ages recover human-like developmental stages of exploration. In a language-based reasoning task, we find that LLMs impersonating domain experts perform better than LLMs impersonating non-domain experts.

Several studies have compared the in-distribution (ID) and out-ofdistribution (OOD) performance of models in computer vision and NLP. They report a frequent positive correlation, but surprisingly, almost never an inverse correlation that would be indicative of a necessary trade-off. Such inverse patterns are possible theoretically, and their occurrence in practice is important to determine whether ID performance can serve as a proxy for OOD generalization.
