Still use ⛓️Chain-of-Thought (CoT) for all your prompting? May be underutilizing LLM capabilities🤠

Introducing 🌲Tree-of-Thought (ToT), a framework to unleash complex & general problem solving with LLMs, through a deliberate ‘System 2’ tree search.

@ylecun @hardmaru I believe there are strong reasons to not only use gradient descent even when it is applicable. Namely that gradient descent performs inductive learning, stochastic methods can do something like hypothetico-deductivism, which is fundamentally more capable.

This is how little code it takes to implement a siamese net using @fastdotai and @pytorch.

I share this because I continue to be amazed.

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

@hardmaru While one should strive to use gradient-based optim whenever possible, there are situations where the only option is gradient-free. Gradient-based is way more efficient, but not always applicable.

This library from @ylecun’s lab implemented benchmarked versions of evolutionary computation algorithms such as: Differential Evolution, Fast Genetic Algorithm, CMA-ES, Particle Swarm Optimization. 🦎🐞🐜

[👩‍💻 Paige Bailey @DynamicWebPaige]

✨🧠Friendly periodic reminder that @TensorFlow supports traditional models like random forest, linear and logistic regression, k-means clustering, and gradient-boosted trees!

The syntax is a bit more verbose than scikit-learn; but you get the added bonus of GPU acceleration. 👍

The code of the final project I worked on within the @OpenAI scholarship program is on Github. In the GridWorld environment an agent navigates according to commands to hit/avoid target cells.

A lot of what's considered "elective" in CS education should actually be required. HCI is a lot more relevant to most software engineers these days than something like compiler design.

[Dr Kareem Carr @kareem_carr]

When a statisticians hear, "Successful people start their day at 4 a.m.", they think:

1. Waking early makes you successful?
2. Something about success makes it hard to sleep at night?
3. Success is lethal; Only early risers survive?
4. You did your survey at 4am.

Really cool design of a spiking NN that appears to actually outperform LSTM and GRU!
