I’m really sad that my dear friend @FelixHill84 is no longer with us. He had many friends and colleagues all over the world - to try to ensure we reach them, his family have asked to share this webpage for the celebration of his life: https://t.co/1QoyHmAD3p

I have just recently found out that Aapo Hyvarinen, the inventor of several influential ideas for modern generative AI research, like noise-contrastive estimation, score-matching, and ratio-matching, wrote a book on understanding human suffering with AI: https://t.co/AG6yQuIMoB

📢new paper!📢
we treat learning-from-human-feedback as a density estimation problem.
we show learning a reward model of preferences (e.g. RLHF) is essentially learning user's pref. distrib.
we also discuss difficulties w/ annotator misspecification (see img)
deets in thread! 👇🏾

[Vincent Dumoulin @dumoulinv]

New paper by my colleagues @_ddjohnson, @pcastr, @hugo_larochelle, @ynd, and me on learning from pairwise human preferences seen through the lens of probabilistic modelling: https://t.co/b6JHqclsdv.

[Caglar Gulcehre @caglarml]

It is really funny how the research landscape evolves in surprising ways. When we were working on or even thinking about running experiments on language modeling between 2013 and 2018, we were being criticized that language modeling is a useless task.

Hyped to share JaxPruner: a concise library for sparsity research.

JaxPruner includes 10+ easy-to-modify baseline algorithms and provides integration with popular libraries like t5x, scenic, dopamine and fedjax. 1/7

Excited to introduce Tied-Augment! A general framework that improves pretraining, finetuning, semi-supervised learning with only a few lines of code, while also enabling data-augmentation to help even few-epoch training.
