Our survey on meta reinforcement learning has now been published by Foundations and Trends in Machine Learning: nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...

Big win for Stanford NLP to have @yejinchoinka.bsky.social Looking forward to new amazing directions

Excited to see Waymo come to Tokyo

* Tokyo has a passive, secondary transportation mode which will stay strong despite the subway.

* It is generally considered to be one of the safest cities. Low chances of vandalism.

* People are curious to try out new technology across all age strata.

Tracing the thoughts of a large language model Anthropic's latest interpretability research: a new microscope to understand Claude's internal mechanisms

Picking the brains of the Claude model. Anthropic has made a new foray into "AI biology" and some interesting case studies on what the assumptions are.

Turns out LLMs don't entirely piece together their response the way we do. Great investigate work

Can we understand the mechanisms of a frontier AI model?

In the Ghibli world I look like this. Not bad. Not bad at all! :-)

Is "vibe coding" same as "prompt engineering" from 6 mo ago?

I am having trouble keeping up with names and acronyms now, forget research papers

don’t learn to write code, learn to read code

Too bad it's a little late for Team Australia for the Olympics

Such a beautiful representation of the vernal equinox 😍

"There was a girl from India who had overstayed her student visa for 3 days before heading back home. She then came back to the US on a new, valid visa to finish her master’s degree and was handed over to ICE due to the 3 days she had overstayed"

WOW. Just wow. Cruelty is in vogue for US govt. now

Best LLMs are decided by evals on leaderboards
(I am looking at you, Gemini)

Like Notion? Well this is a open source clone sponsored by FR-DE governments. And frankly, it looks great

The arrival of early spring *chef's kiss* Nice shots Sid. Get yourself a proper camera

OLMo2 goodies ↓

Announcing OLMo 2 32B: the first fully open model to beat GPT 3.5 & GPT-4o mini on a suite of popular, multi-skill benchmarks.

Comparable to best open-weight models, but a fraction of training compute. When you have a good recipe, ✨ magical things happen when you scale it up!

True open source looks like OLMO2 😅 codes weights, recipes all available to inspect

The 3rd edition of Interpretable Machine Learning is out! 🎉 Major cleanup, better examples, and new chapters on Data & Models, Interpretability Goals, Ceteris Paribus, and LOFO Importance.

The book remains free to read for everyone. But you can also buy ebook or paperback.

Introducing Gemma 3: The most capable model you can run on a single GPU or TPU Today, we're introducing Gemma 3, our most capable, portable and responsible open model yet.

Introducing our Gemma 3 open models, the most capable models that you can run on a single GPU or TPU. Multimodal, multilingual, 128k context length, and exceeds quality of other open models that are an order of magnitude larger in terms of hardware footprint. 🎉

Nice. Congratulations Pierre.

(I am pretty sure I won't understand it. It looks pretty dense 😂😅 so I am honest with you. But congratulations for the acceptance 🥳)

ML project naming is getting out of hands 😀

Seems like it. I saw the chapters themselves have some typos.

However that 'gradient tape' example is a bit... bizarre ? Things could have been left at static vs dynamic computation graph (define-and-run vs. define-while-run for easier speaking)

I hope the book doesn't turn out a mish-mash

Ha! You are waiting on it too with preorder ! 😀 It was originally slated January & it has slipped behind schedule

Any news about the book release @fchollet.bsky.social ? The new chapters look promising especially

I have a solid feeling that Bsky has better academic discussion than Twitter as of now

Musk's app will be relegated to all kinds of shitposting in general by me. Serious posts belong here 😅

I updated my ML lecture material: davidpicard.github.io/teaching/
I show many (boomer) ML algorithms with working implementation to prevent the black box effect.
Everything is done in notebooks so that students can play with the algorithms.

I love this characterization 😅 So accurate

Sutton and Barto won the 2024 ACM Turing award. Reinforcement learning is getting its due finally

Nice!
