I'm teaching a new "Intro to Modern AI" course at CMU this Spring: https://t.co/ptnrNmVPyf. It's an early-undergrad course on how to build a chatbot from scratch (well, from PyTorch). The course name has bothered some people ā "AI" usually means something much broader in academic

AI can accelerate scientific discovery, but only if we get the scientistāAI interaction right. The dream of āautonomous AI scientistsā is tempting: machines that generate hypotheses, run experiments, and write papers. But science isnāt just an automation problem ā itās also a

Covid is spread by one person breathing it out and another breathing it in. It's that simple. In between, the particles float on the air like smoke. So if you want to reduce the risk of infection, wear a mask that reduces particle inhalation anywhere people are breathing.

šØWhy canāt Transformers learn multiplication?š§® Even with billions of params, models struggle with multi-digit multiplication. In our new work, we reverse-engineer two models: a standard fine-tuned (SFT), and an implicit chain-of-thought (ICoT) model to see why. Read on! 1/n š§µ
