Thrilled to find a 60W USB-C port on my BA flight. Every aircraft should have this as standard. A320neo ✈️

Copy of the poster we will be presenting titled: Adversarial negotiation dynamics in generative language models

🎯 Final day at #NeurIPS2024! Join @benedikt.phd and me in Room 301 (West) at the Red Teaming Workshop where we're presenting cool new findings on how language models perform in adversarial contract negotiations

This would be a good idea:

Our BMVC poster is today!

Knowledge distillation can work in cross-task settings and even with a randomly initialised teacher! Our inverted projection decomposes into knowledge transfer and spectral regularisation, enabling teacher-free distillation with improvements on ImageNet-1K at no extra cost

Looking at ICLR submissions with the lowest score - What a work of art! 🧵

Nice starter pack! Would love to be added 🌱

Interesting. I wonder if someone might adapt this to attempt following every Bluesky account.

Are there any limits on following or safeguards against such mass-following behaviour? Hopefully, some form of spam detection is already in place.

You can see your exact follower count by going to:
public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsk...

just change the user handle at the end of the url:
public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsk...

Perfectly balanced as all things should be!

Would like to be added

It seems Microsoft Research already has an active account but barely anyone has found it

Is it too much to ask to be added to starter packs without having to beg? …Oh, wait💀

Would love to be added 🌱

This is such a great resource! I’d be thrilled to be included, as I also work in this area 🌱

Just me overanalysing every frame to spot a colleague or maybe myself in the background 👀
