I (finally) put together a new LLM Architecture Gallery that collects the architecture figures all in one place!

Beat it by having Codex hand-craft weights:

100% accuracy on 10 million random test cases w/ only 343 parameters. As a bonus, it uses the vanilla Qwen3 architecture, just with the right weights.

🎉 Happy to share my first paper as a PhD student with @MarzyehGhassemi! It's accepted to MICCAI 2024! Here’s a thread:

1/ 🌟 Introducing FedMedICL: A framework for evaluating federated continual learning in medical imaging, capturing label, demographic, and temporal shifts.

[Mohammed Aljahdali @mohdkil]

RT @peter_richtarik: In about 30 mins, I will give a keynote talk at the 3rd Workshop on Federated Learning for Computer Vision at CVPR 202…

@nauatech @JayAlammar @cohere Will the talk be uploaded to youtube?

Gemini 1.5 Pro has entered the (LMSys) Arena! Some highlights:

-The only "mid" tier model at the highest level alongside "top" tier models from OpenAI and Anthropic ♊️
-The model excels at multimodal, and long context (not measured here) 🐍
-This model is also state-of-the-art in audio 🔊
-It is free 🤑

@malthe8 Looking into distributed/collaborative training of LLMs 🦾

[Mohammed Aljahdali @mohdkil]

And your research stops … 😔

Makes you realize how easy it is to hit bottlenecks when you rely on a few large components...

The next chapter about transformers is up on YouTube, digging into the attention mechanism: https://t.co/TWNXiWM2az

The model works with vectors representing tokens (think words), and this is the mechanism that allows those vectors to take in meaning from context.

[Jon Barron @jon_barron]

Just read another ChatGPT paper abstract ("We delve into the realm of pivotal breakthroughs to master the intricacies of blah blah bah"). This writing sucks and wastes everyone's time. If you must outsource your writing, tell the LLM to speak plainly and delete all adverbs.

كاوست فيها بكالوريوس؟ .. اذا جاك KGSP .. روح .. و اذا تبغى جامعة في السعودية تشتغل على ابحاث ممتازة .. برضه كاوست .. فر من برامج الدراسات العليا في البقية فرارك من الأسد

[Peter Richtarik @peter_richtarik]

I have never rejected an empirical paper on the basis of it containing no theory. I judge such papers on their own merits. Is it too much to ask reviewers to judge a theory paper based on the theory?

[Walid Magdy 🇵🇸 @Walid_Magdy]

Over 2 months since this was noticed & it seems @aclmeeting execs find it optional, since 6 papers of the 10 removed the section, while 4 insisted to keep it.

It even propagated to @NeurIPSConf with 2 papers used similar wording!

Just remember who is setting the standards!
