🧵 Every year, I rather self-indulgently end the year by looking over the research output and life events which have marked 2022 for my collaborators and me. Between career changes, return to in-person conferences, and disruptive world events, it's been quite a year! LFG… [1/14]
Happy New Year / New Years Eve! 🥳(depending on where you are)
Here's a thread of me reflecting on 2022 and all the research I've contributed to this year and stuff I did.
🧵 quite a long chronological thread below 👇
1/ Reflecting back on 2022: we shared our most advanced language model PaLM - a single 540B-parameter dense language model for multiple domains & tasks, trained over two TPUv4 Pods.

When making a scientific claim, not all types of empirical evidence presented in support of that claim are equally strong. Some types of evidence are more susceptibility to being spurious than other types.

@TaliaRinger sorry. That was just a joke. vidyarthi = student, bhavan = house. So, I was trying to joke that you might get a discount if you prove that you are a student :-) (maybe, but i do not know ) :-)
@dsivakumar I have a saying (basically I say it to myself). All the interesting things happen in the intersections. And, most work at the intersections of fields are misunderstood and hard to get noticed.
@DimitrisPapail@madiator I agree with Mahesh. Jax. If you are using python, then you are probably using numpy. If you are using numpy then you might as well just do import jax.numpy.
@RamaswmySridhar Where did the 800 number come from? Should it not be 33*4^2=528? 33 for increase in #of tokens and 16 for the increase in context size.
@zacharylipton@jefrankle@HanieSedghi@roydanroy@bneyshabur@prfsanjeevarora I guess what you are saying is that the model class here is very large. But if you separate out the simple models in this class from the more complex models on the basis of clean/random data fit then the simple models generalize, even though results from classical theory say no
