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.

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 www.anthropic.com/research/tra...

Can we understand the mechanisms of a frontier AI model? 📝 Blog post: www.anthropic.com/research/tra... 🧪 "Biology" paper: transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribu... ⚙️ Methods paper: transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribu... Featuring basic multi-step reasoning, planning, introspection and more!

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 docs.numerique.gouv.fr/login/

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 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. 🎉 blog.google/technology/d...

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 😀

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. Book-ish pdf export: davidpicard.github.io/pdf/poly.pdf

I love this characterization 😅 So accurate

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

Nice!

Saw this handsome little fella on a recent trip to Hangzhou. Google Lens suggests it is Mandarin Duck. Such beautiful plumage, especially around the head. cc: @pierrealquier.bsky.social

This is my Sunday read for the week. On a conceptual level, I do struggle to understand how Lean/Coq will work through hard problems for e.g the Fermat's Thm, which involved representation of the problem in an entirely different domain. Doing that makes a solution tractable.

Pretty 😍

Here it is, now available to all of us neurips.cc/virtual/2024... (looking forward to watching it myself)

The #NeurIPS2024 tutorial on “Flow Matching for Generative Modeling” is now available! Feel the learn 🤓 neurips.cc/virtual/2024...

Deleted my X app from the phone (although keeping the account for posterity purposes. It will stay dormant) 🦋 & 🐘will be my primary socials now on.

A beautiful shot of Forbidden City in Beijing that I found on Reddit. At first glance, it almost looks like a semiconductor die photograph.

Haha. Funny caption.

Interesting new year read: Could the Soviet Union have been saved? www.historytoday.com/archive/head...

Totally upended everyone's game. Tectonic shifts underway. I subscribed to Pro today & what a pleasant experience. Answers come back with illustrative images where needed. 🤯

Excellent talk as always!

Fermat's Last Theorem, attempts on Lean solver - and the story so far, from @xenaproject.bsky.social xenaproject.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/f...

New survey (can't comment quality yet). Covers the following: • LLM-augmented text embedding, enhancing traditional embedding methods with LLMs • LLMs as text embedders • Text embedding understanding with LLMs arxiv.org/abs/2412.09165 The third is probably the most interesting application

@msftresearch.bsky.social released an updated version of their Phi models (Phi-4). Open weights as before. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.08905

The best paper awardee from NeuRIPS 2024 has been apparently accused of misconduct by his ByteDance peers. This raises many questions certainly: var-integrity-report.github.io

Made a list of resources for open source language models with @soldaini.net ahead of the tutorial tomorrow at 930 AM. github.com/allenai/awes...

@sirbayes.bsky.social has yet another comprehensive book released this week. This one covers the most up to date methodologies, (and I particularly like the chapter organization too!) arxiv.org/abs/2412.05265
