#DeepSeek v3 is raising the bar for large language models! It’s not just about bigger datasets, its innovations like Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) and a Mixture of Experts (MoE) approach redefine the transformer architecture. A true game-changer in #NLP! #AI #MachineLearning

People: please don't ML for the sake of ML.

I keep seeing manuscripts using fancy machine learning on brain-imaging data, where, in my opinion (having processed a lot of brain-imaging data), the method is way too complex for the richness of the data.

I have secret side project to show you. It's an algorithm to help model-based #ReinforcementLearning agents sidestep the curse of dimensionality, and it's called Naive Cartographer. If it works the way I hope it will help #robots become more graceful and adaptable.
