🚀 Excited to present our paper "Rethinking Probabilistic Circuit Parameter Learning" at AISTATS tomorrow! What are the key bottlenecks in optimizing 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 probabilistic models like Probabilistic Circuits? Can we design "Adam-equivalent" optimizers for these structures?

Check out our recent work offering a principled way to perform parallel prediction (few-step generation) in Diffusion LLMs with minimal performance degradation!

What happens if we tokenize cat as [ca, t] rather than [cat]? LLMs are trained on just one tokenization per word, but they still understand alternative tokenizations. We show that this can be exploited to bypass safety filters without changing the text itself. #AI #LLMs #tokenization #alignment
