• Abstract: We quantify Non Fungible Token (NFT) rarity and investigate how it impacts market behaviour by analysing a dataset of 3.7M transactions collected between January 2018 and June 2022, involving 1.4M NFTs distributed across 410 collections. First, we consider the rarity of an NFT based on the set of human-readable attributes it possesses and show that most collections present heterogeneous rarity patterns, with few rare NFTs and a large number of more common ones. Then, we analyze market performance and show that, on average, rarer NFTs: (i) sell for higher prices, (ii) are traded less frequently, (iii) guarantee higher returns on investment (ROIs), and (iv) are less risky, i.e., less prone to yield negative returns. We anticipate that these findings will be of interest to researchers as well as NFT creators, collectors, and traders.

  We introduce MT-Eval, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate multi-turn conversational abilities. By analyzing human-LLM conversations, we categorize interaction patterns into four types: recollection, expansion, refinement, and follow-up. Our evaluation of 11 well-known LLMs shows that while closed-source models generally surpass open-source ones, certain open-source models exceed GPT-3.5-Turbo in specific tasks.

  The market capitalization of NFT reached 21.5 billion USD in 2021, almost 200 times of all previous transactions. The rapid decline in NFT market fever in the second quarter of 2022 casts doubts on the ostensible boom in the NFT market. By collecting data from the whole blockchain, we construct three graphs, namely NFT create graph, NFT transfer graph, and NFT hold graph, to characterize the NFT traders. We propose new indicators to quantify the activeness and value of NFT and propose an algorithm that combines indicators and graph analyses to find bubble NFTs.

  The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market experienced explosive growth in 2021, with a monthly trade volume reaching $6 billion in January 2022. Concerns have emerged about possible wash trading, a form of market manipulation in which one party repeatedly trades an NFT to inflate its volume artificially. We find that wash trading affects 5.66% of all NFT collections, with a total artificial volume of $3,406,110,774.

  Retrieval-enhanced language models (LMs) condition their predictions on text retrieved from large external datastores. One such approach, the $k$NN-LM, interpolates any existing LM's predictions with the output of a $k$-nearest neighbors model. We empirically measure the effectiveness of our approach on two English language modeling datasets.
