Lattice Random Walk Discretisations of Stochastic Differential Equations Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are foundational in statistical physics, finance, and generative modeling. Our paper introduces a new method of solving SDEs, where both time and space are…
check out the Duffield discretisation for SDEs before it turns the stochastic computing game upside down :O

The era of Physics-based ASICs has arrived. On the surface, computing infrastructure seems unready to meet the demands of AI. But underneath, a Cambrian explosion of new computer architectures is rising to meet this challenge, with the goal of using physical processes as a…
VerilogEval is an odd coding dataset - it gives the agent access to the golden testbench, which you will use to evaluate the final design from the model. I'm honestly surprised how papers like VerilogCoder or ChipAgents only get ~95% accuracy in this setting... That's what…
Normalizing Flows (NFs) check all the boxes for RL: exact likelihoods (imitation learning), efficient sampling (real-time control), and variational inference (Q-learning)! Yet they are overlooked over more expensive and less flexible contemporaries like diffusion models. Are NFs…
You may think it’s “I use AI” but really it’s “AI uses me”

@LucaAmb @Cohere_Labs @ml_collective Hmm. To me it makes sense that first-order methods are ones that use first derivatives and an analytical model of second-order structure. Second-order methods should use first *and* second-derivatives (and ideally an analytical model of third-order structure)
@xidulu Always a bit funny to me how the interpretation of "second-order optimisation" is not as narrowly-defined as one might expect. My experience is that operationally, it means something like 'a matrix is involved', which is a pretty wide net to cast!

during NYC deep tech week, i gave a talk about how @NormalComputing is scaling our thermodynamic computing paradigm to tackle large scale AI and scientific computing workloads today, we're releasing a blog post based on that talk! ⬇️
So simple! Normally, we order our minibatches like a, b, c, ...., [shuffle], new_a, new_b, new_c, .... but instead, if we do a, b, c, ...., [reverse], ...., c, b, a, [shuffle], new_a, new_b, .... The RMSE of stochastic gradient descent reduces from O(h) to O(h²)…
