There is nothing wrong with making incremental but steady progress on a hard problem.

currently treading the fine line between “natural abstraction” and “abstract nonsense”
“I’m not able to learn mathematics easily, I have to work. It takes a very long time and I have a terrible memory. I forget things. So I try to work, despite these handicaps, and the way I worked was trying to understand really well the simple things.” newscientist.com/article/242319…
tufte-latex is great because it lets me write footnotes that span the whole length of the page. as Tufte no doubt intended.
Soham & co have been doing a lot of cool stuff in the architecture/optimizer space! Really neat mix of theory & practice.

There'd be less brain drain if more schools enabled the sort of fundamental curiosity-driven research that should be academia's strength. If the only viable research style is make-number-go-up, you might as well do that at a company.

Q: Anyone know of a good treatment (even just heuristic) of the "numerical stability" of discretized Gaussian diffusion? Eg, a statement of the form "errors in (a) the score estimate, and (b) the discretization don't add up too badly"

I feel like one thing to keep in mind when { writing critiques of / expressing skepticism about / ... } developments in { ML, AI, ... } is whether you think that learning from data is possible even in principle (as is - rightly or wrongly - common in statistics).
I’m super, super grateful to Janine, Justin, Zoe, and Jack, the colleagues and students who nominated me! This is truly a dream come true ❤️

~unrelated, but for the stats course which I teach, the lecture materials which I inherited include an early discussion on the passage from "inference" (in the logical sense) to "statistical inference", which I liked. working in statistics, I can forget where the word comes from.
I will never get over how AI/ML people use the word “inference”
This work was one of the last works that was done by my team when I was working at Apple. A lot of credit to @sacmehtauw whose dedication was the key to this project. Main point behind here is to show as a contributor to the AI community we play our role to be fully open.

In a new preprint with Jarek Blasiok, @rares_buhai, David Steurer, we show a surprisingly simple greedy algorithm that can list decode planted cliques in the semirandom model at k~sqrt n log^2 n --essentially optimal up to log^2 n. This ~resolves @JacobSteinhardt's open question.
I've some exciting news! Like much of my recent work, also inspired by Uri Feige's conjectures. With Rares Buhai & David Steurer (during a beautiful Zurich summer), we found new algos for semirandom planted clique at thresholds approaching "usual" PC. arxiv.org/abs/2212.05619
Some responses to comments: Q: Why is publishing lots of papers a problem? A: Nobody has time to read them. It's a waste of everyone's time to generate endless numbers of papers. If you really feel like you need to share biweekly updates, consider a blog.
Me: remove that sentence, it doesn't make any sense. Student: The sentence...that you wrote? 🤦

I know lots of various central limit theorems, maxent arguments, convolving arguments, etc. but it’s still so bizarre to me just how universal Gaussian distributions are. Does anyone have intuition for why or interesting constraints that end up being equivalent to the Normal?
GPU gods, grant me the serenity to hard-code the functions deep nets can not learn, the courage to let them learn the ones they can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Nice!
