📢i'm re-sharing my popular #PhD application guide on applying for STEM PhD programs!💡this year's #application cycle is going to be more competitive than ever, so here's some completely FREE advice that has helped over 150k+ people over the past 6 years 😇lucylai.com/blog/gradapps
If anyone needs a video guide to Karpathy's nanochat, check out Stanford's CS336! It covers: - Tokenization - Resource Accounting - Pretraining - Finetuning (SFT/RLHF) - Overview of Key Architectures - Working with GPUs - Kernels and Tritons - Parallelism - Scaling Laws -…
🚨🚨New Paper: Training LLMs to Discover Abstractions for Solving Reasoning Problems Introducing RLAD, a two-player RL framework for LLMs to discover 'reasoning abstractions'—natural language hints that encode procedural knowledge for structured exploration in reasoning.🧵⬇️
Finally had a chance to listen through this pod with Sutton, which was interesting and amusing. As background, Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson" has become a bit of biblical text in frontier LLM circles. Researchers routinely talk about and ask whether this or that approach or idea…
.@RichardSSutton, father of reinforcement learning, doesn’t think LLMs are bitter-lesson-pilled. My steel man of Richard’s position: we need some new architecture to enable continual (on-the-job) learning. And if we have continual learning, we don't need a special training…
29 Oct 2025 အဘိုး တော်တဲ့ ဘုန်းကြီး ဦးဉေယျာဘိဝံသ ပျံတော်မူ။ ဖခင်ဖက်က ရပ်ဆွေ ရပ်မျိုး သဘော၊ အတိအကျ တော်စပ်ပုံ မသိရ။ သက် ၈၀ ဝါ ၆၀ အဂ္ဂမဟာပဏ္ဍိတ၊ စာတတ်လွန်းလို့ အားကျရ။ သက်ရှည် ဉာဏ်ကြီးလွန်းလို့ သတင်းကို မယုံ၊ တုန်လှုပ်။ မိန့်ခဲ့သလို ဘာလုပ်လုပ် စိတ်ထားတတ်ဖို့က အဓိက။ #RandomThoughts
ကျန်းမာရေးနဲ့ ညီညွတ်အောင် မနေတာ ဝန်ခံရမယ်။ အသား တစ်မျိုးသာ စားရာက အသီးအရွက်၊ အသားငါး၊ ကစီဓါတ် မျှတအောင် စားဖို့ ကြိုးစားနေတယ်။ ဒါတောင် ဆီကြော်တွေ ဖြစ်နေတုန်းပဲ။ #health
LeCun is right, when enrolling into PhD program don’t work on what is a hype topic of today. It was true in 2015 for reinforcement learning, it is true in 2025 for LLMs. The topic of tomorrow won’t be the hype topic of today, find a promising niche tech and work on it instead.…
It's application season, and I'm sharing some of my past application materials: - Academic job market (written in Dec 2024) - PhD fellowship (written in Apr 2023) - PhD admission (written in Dec 2019) on my website (j-min.io)
ဝမ်းနည်းဖို့တောင် အချိန် မရှိဘူးလား ဆိုပြီး ငိုချင်တယ်။ လူ တစ်ယောက်တည်းကနေ နှစ်ကိုယ်ခွဲလို့ ရရင်တော့ ကိုယ့်ဖာသာ နှစ်သိမ့်ဖြစ်မှာ အသေအချာပါပဲ။ #randomthought
Fei-Fei Li (@drfeifei) on limitations of LLMs. "There's no language out there in nature. You don't go out in nature and there's words written in the sky for you.. There is a 3D world that follows laws of physics." Language is purely generated signal.
Today Thinking Machines Lab is launching our research blog, Connectionism. Our first blog post is “Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference” We believe that science is better when shared. Connectionism will cover topics as varied as our research is: from kernel numerics to…
She fought for democracy — now she fights for her life. The junta blocks medical access to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. WHAT’S HAPPENING IN MYANMAR #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #FreeAungSanSuuKyi #LetOurLeaderAungSanSuuKyiHeal
The myOCR experiment dataset has also been uploaded to GitHub: github.com/ye-kyaw-thu/my… LU Lab Haggling Face မှာတော့ တင်ထားတာ ကြာပါပြီ။ huggingface.co/datasets/LULab…
I haven’t got good sleep for a while. Quite busy these days. So I spent past two days relaxing after school, had a good sleep and now I am ready again to finish my jobs done. 💪
We published our preprint paper that is the first application of Kolmogorov Arnold Convolution for Text classification. Arxiv Link: arxiv.org/abs/2507.06753
Happiness is highly linked to how focused you are on what you're doing. A wandering mind is an unhappy mind.
NLP is not just LLMs. NLP is not just the number of parameters in a language models. Students appreciated a combination of math, code, applications AND... linguistic examples. NLP is about language processing - and language should not be considered merely as data.
Congratulations to @Yoshua_Bengio on launching @LawZero_ — a research effort to advance safe-by-design AI, especially as frontier systems begin to exhibit signs of self-preservation and deceptive behaviour.
