(1/2) Ever wondered why Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) yields greater generalization gains in vision than in NLP? I'll discuss this at UCLA's CS-201 seminar on February 18th, relating it to the balance of SAM's impact on logit statistics vs model geometry.

We'll soon review internship applicants for our reasoning group; please submit and ping me if you haven't already!! Can't wait to work with you!!
How do you train reasoning models?
What is the role of verifiers, RL, and synth data generation? How do these fit in multi-agent workflows?

To find out, come join us for an internship at MSR AI Frontiers:

For those who don’t feel like they fit into my Grumpy Machine Learners list (which I still need to update based on 100+ requests) I’ve created another starter pack:
