Our paper Token Perturbation Guidance (TPG) for Diffusion Models is accepted @neuripsconf.bsky.social 🥳 TPG is a simple & effective method based on token shuffling. It extends the benefits of CFG to broader settings, including unconditional generation. arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2506.10036 #NeurIPS2025

Today I had the idea to test LLMs on problems from the UK show Only Connect. Ofc, it turned out another group had already done it (@babaktaati.bsky.social‬)! tl;dr: LLMs were pretty shit at the Connecting Wall and were often fooled by red herring distractors. proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/...
