GPT-5 seems pretty good for math in my limited testing so far 🤔 One-shotted a tricky differential geometry computation a bit beyond my expertise. Anyone else have similar experiences so far?
What a throwback to weak supervision! Great work @JonSaadFalcon @ekellbuch @MayeeChen!

LLMs can generate 100 answers, but which one is right? Check out our latest work closing the generation-verification gap by aggregating weak verifiers and distilling them into a compact 400M model. If this direction is exciting to you, we’d love to connect.

One of my PhD students got their visa revoked. I know of other cases amongst my AI colleagues. This is not what investing in US leadership in AI looks like.

In case you were wondering what’s going on with the back of the #CVPR2024 T-shirt: it’s a hybrid image made by @invernopark and @dangengdg! When you look at it up close, you’ll just see the Seattle skyline, but when you view it from a distance, the text “CVPR” should appear.
If you want to know the newest understanding about deep networks from the perspective of learning low-dim structures, please join our upcoming one-day tutorial at CVPR on June 18 in Seattle: …024-tutorial-low-dim-models.github.io “We must know; we will know!”
Presenting at #ICLR2024 with Sam Buchanan @_sdbuchanan and Jere Sulam @Jere_je_je! We present neural networks that exactly parameterize prox operators and a new loss for learning the prox of an unknown prior! 🔗bit.ly/3y4qf2a 📍Halle B #102 ⏰Fri 10 May 10:45-12:45
At ICLR this week! Excited to present our work, which presents a transformer-like autoencoder architecture which is performant, scalable, and interpretable, based on the framework of white-box deep networks. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2404.02446 ⏰ May 9, 10:45-12:45 📍 Halle B #39 1/14
Interested in alternatives to purely black-box deep networks for unsupervised learning? Come check out Druv's work at ICLR this Thursday! Project page: ma-lab-berkeley.github.io/CRATE/ (scroll to bottom!)

This work by @Song__Mei on foundations and statistical benefits of unrolled networks is opening tons of exciting research directions in this area. I believe soon we'll see proofs of algorithmic advantages (e.g. for CRATE!) as well, matching practice! Happy to see CRATE mentioned!
One more post from Seoul -- rented a bike and rode most of the Han River Trail today. Absolutely incredible public resource -- has to be better than any such thing we have in the US (?), and can likely go pound-for-pound with urban trails around Europe too (??)
Very much enjoyed a visit and talk at Prof. Jong Chul Ye's group at KAIST today! Beautiful campus and very interesting research.
Traveling to Seoul tomorrow for our tutorial about white-box deep networks on Sunday. Hope to see you there! cmsworkshops.com/ICASSP2024/tut…
My group at Berkeley Stats and EECS has a postdoc opening in the theoretical (e.g., scaling laws, watermark) and empirical aspects (e.g., efficiency, safety, alignment) of LLMs or diffusion models. Send me an email with your CV if interested!
Passing along in case you (also) hadn't seen it, or not for a while at least -- there are beautiful words about the spirit of analysis in here: "fine cuisine", about "...strength and sharpness of attack with simple, powerful tools" :-)
