We didn’t try but I would guess that finetuning on simple math questions wouldn’t help with Metaculus forecasting. The focus of our paper is more “express your own uncertainty using natural language” and less “get better at judgmental forecasting”. (Though some of the ideas in the paper might be useful in the forecasting domain.)
