In arxiv.org/abs/2303.00848, @dpkingma.bsky.social and @ruiqigao.bsky.social had suggested that noise augmentation could be used to make other likelihood-based models optimise perceptually weighted losses, like diffusion models do. So cool to see this working well in practice!

This is your monthly reminder that understanding deep learning does not require rethinking generalization, and it never did.

Brilliant talk by Ilya, but he's wrong on one point.

We are NOT running out of data. We are running out of human-written text.

We have more videos than we know what to do with. We just haven't solved pre-training in vision.

Just go out and sense the world. Data is easy.

More a linear algebra meme than a QM meme 😅
OK my night got away from me and I didn't post more of my students' quantum memes, so I'll do a few extra this morning!

My former student @msalbergo.bsky.social has beautiful papers describing the approach on the right. “Flow matching” and “stochastic interpolants” were concurrent developments of the same core idea.

Optimal transport computes an interpolation between two distributions using an optimal coupling. Flow matching, on the other hand, uses a simpler “independent” coupling, which is the product of the marginals.

🧵 Today with @polymathicai.bsky.social and others we're releasing two massive datasets that span dozens of fields - from bacterial growth to supernova!

We want this to enable multi-disciplinary foundation model research.

A paper a day, episode 15.

You liked the matrix cookbook? You’re gonna love this one. 100 statistics inequalities just for your personal enjoyment. As they say in French, moi j’ai Bienaymé cet article !

For the theoretical side, there’s no better resource than the 2024 book by Blondel and Roulet:

For the practical side, my friend @willtebbutt.bsky.social wrote stellar documentation explaining autodiff with mutation:
