Exactly: “the problem of similarity.” (Via @vardi) Data and minimal universal priors won’t solve this issue. So, DL models might look like they are performing well in some scenarios until they are not. If it’s easy to spot, we could reject their statistical prediction. 1/6

Neurosymbolic AI is the answer to LLMs inability to reason: https://t.co/08VN2Z5vae
theconversation.com
Neurosymbolic AI combines the learning of LLMs with teaching the machine formal rules that should make them more reliable and energy efficient.

Recently, I read this beautiful #book, named Life as No One Knows It, by @Sara_Imari and had a minor revelation that maybe we’ve been looking at life from a completely wrong lens. My notes 👇

For the record, on the 3rd call the customer agent seems to have access to their systems. The status page still has that message. @EBOX_CA

So, @EBOX_CA customer support is down. Since their 9am EST started, the systems are down and can’t work. I’ve been 9h without internet/fibre and they can’t look it up. It’s a bit sad, isn’t? And https://t.co/zC3uz8YKF7 doesn’t report on this, so we can only call again. 😠
@EBOX_CA is https://t.co/MDhKU4O6QL supposed to work? My fibre has been down for 6h or so (PON blink). Just called your tech support. “Call in an hour because we have a system outage”. But the status page says it’s all ok! 😒

Whole PhD cohorts are trained to produce a paper likely to be accepted in the next submission deadline! Then we have PhDs that can publish but can’t think of research problems beyond one step.
The problem is clear when you see a student asking themselves: "What am I submitting to NeurIPS?" vs "What important problem am I going to try to solve in the next few years?"

Reasoning in neural nets has to be engineered (see neurosymbolic approaches constraining network architecture or loss function), not guessed via "chain of thought":

Bueno chicos, lo primero y más importante, no me despidieron. Pero si es la primera vez que me siento tan indefensa, tan vulnerable, tan frustrada solo por mi nacionalidad. Voy a hacer un pequeño hilo porque en los casi 9 años que tengo aquí es la primera vez que me siento así
Tengo una frustración tan grande, una rabia y una impotencia. Hoy nos mandaron a llamar a todos los venezolanos a HR, se imaginarán por donde va la cosa. Llegaron lineamientos de auditoría nuevos y la cara de pena de nuestros jefes tratando de explicar (y preguntando). Terrible

On the fallacy of "If it ain't strictly retrieval, it must be reasoning" argument.. #SundayHarangue (on Wednesday) There is a tendency among some LLM researchers to claim that LLMs must be somehow capable of doing some sort of reasoning since they are after all not doing the

Lo que ha ocurrido en Nicaragua es BRUTAL. El dictador Daniel Ortega ha ordenado una de las reformas constitucionales más AUTORITARIAS de todo el continente. Desde la creación de una “policía socialista” hasta pedirle a la Iglesia ser considerado el nuevo Dios. HILO 🧵

This is the most important paper in a long time . It shows with strong evidence we are reaching the limits of quantization. The paper says this: the more tokens you train on, the more precision you need. This has broad implications for the entire field and the future of GPUs🧵
[1/7] New paper alert! Heard about the BitNet hype or that Llama-3 is harder to quantize? Our new work studies both! We formulate scaling laws for precision, across both pre and post-training https://t.co/8FC4g2fSRb. TLDR; - Models become harder to post-train quantize as they

You know what would be really impressive? A cute kitten. Even a scary monster.. But generating images of canonically hot chicks contributes to the objectification of women by AI by using them as a proxy for measuring image quality. (Yes, I will die on this hill)
IT'S FINALLY HERE! 🔥 Flux + RealismLora in FREEPIK 🔥 No more complex workflows. Just prompt, click, et voila!

ATENCIÓN 🔔"Al CNE de Venezuela no se le dio la gana de compartir las actas" 🗣️ Directora del Centro Carter Jennie Lincoln 👇🏻

The truth is crystal clear: Edmundo González won. Venezuela won. We have the official tally sheets. The CNE has them too. This video shows what happened. It's time to do the right thing. Stop the repression now. Accept the Venezuelan people's will. Ratify the need for an
