Latent space interpretation [R]
Hi all, I have trained a convolutional autoencoder on a set of medical images. Further classified latent feature maps using random forest to find the top scoring feature map. Now my goal is to understand which input image is captured in top scoring latent feature map. Any…

Is ACL now irrelevant? [D]
I just read in a comment of another Post that an ACL paper is considered a weak signal in the community apparently, and having an ACL first author paper is not a great plus for improving chances at finding a PhD position. Is this some kind of ragebait or is academia becoming…

Any idea if AAAI will be harsh on computer vision paper as last year? [R]
Hello everyone, I have a computer vision paper ready for submission, a coauthor have suggested submitting it to AAAI. However last year computer vision papers have gotten a very small acceptance rate at AAAI, with reviewers receiving emails to specifically tell them that the…

How hard is it to break into ML work without a Master's degree? [D]
I'm currently a software engineer (mostly mobile/iOS development) and have recently started learning machine learning because I genuinely find it interesting, especially the math behind it. I have a fairly strong math background and am comfortable with calculus, probability, and…

Multivariate Probability Models in Machine Learning [D]
Hello Folks, we start our discussion on Lecture 10 of Probabilistic Machine Learning, now starting with Probability Multivariate Models. Univariate models are toy cases, in real life, ML models are multivariate. To understand dependence of more than one variables on each other…

Should I accept job offer or do my master's? [D]
I graduated with my bachelor's in a top 3 CS program and have had a rough recruiting season. I received a full time offer as AI Product Engineer at a tax software company, where they are trying to become more AI native. It's essentially a PM + AI engineering role. Long term I'd…

How do you analyze the relative "strength" of probes? [R]
This question is related to topics like language+ models (including multimodal) and things like "circuit" analyses. I think something related might come up in my work (factuality guarantees for model outputs) and I'm trying to orient to the SoTA. I found this old post on trying…

No CVPRW report [D]
I participated in Denoising Challenge (gaussian noise level 50), managed to get a decent rank and was looking forward to cite the report in my CV etc, but it seems like the organiser is not planning to release the report, cant see any entry on open access NTIRE page, is the…

Next-Latent Prediction Transformers [R]
Microsoft Research Preprint Next-token prediction is myopic. What if transformers learn to predict their own next latent state? Microsoft Research present Next-Latent Prediction (NextLat) : a self-supervised learning method that teaches transformers to form compact world models…

What is Speculative Decoding? (trending on paperswithco.de) [R]
A method that is currently trending on Papers with Code is Speculative Decoding. https://preview.redd.it/dm4nh4t71o7h1.png?width=3082&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6468668667d4bcfb6c9248d3af7fd09f21fe0da Speculative decoding is an inference optimization technique that uses a fast,…

Source code for LLMs. [D]
I was digging through Hugging Face’s Transformers repo and found https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/gpt_oss/modeling_gpt_oss.py From what I can tell, this isn’t just boilerplate, it looks like a full implementation. is it actually the…

How the brains learn [R]
Abstract: A sufficient account of how the neocortex learns must meet three criteria: Computationally, it must approximate a powerful, general-purpose learning algorithm known to scale to human-level intelligence; Algorithmically, it must be implementable using known,…

Cleo: trying to fit full analyst behavior in a 2B model [P]
Hello all! Half of all industrial "chatbots" are just text-to-SQL models in a trenchcoat (and the other half RAG!). I wanted to explore just how small you could make these models if you trained, evaluated, and ran inference in the exact same structured harness, leading to Cleo:…

AI language models have favorite names, and we mapped them [R]
It turns out LLMs have strong priors over character names that are model-specific and version-specific. If you find Elena Vasquez and Marcus Chen together on a website, there's a good chance Claude generated it. We stumbled on this as a side finding while working on a model…

Could AI training be decentralized like Bitcoin mining? [D]
I’ve been thinking about whether the same basic concept behind Bitcoin could be applied to AI training. In Bitcoin, miners perform proof-of-work and are rewarded for contributing computational resources to secure the network. The actual computation itself isn’t particularly…

NeurIPS Competition decision notification [D]
Hi guys, today is the deadline for acceptance notification from NeurIPS about Competition (challenges). Has anyone hear back already? Do they send the rejection letter later?   submitted by   /u/LocksmithAlone242 [link]   [comments]

Why do frontier AI labs send so many people to conferences? [D]
Recent years I see plenty of folks from OpenAI and Anthropic attending conferences like ICML/Neurips, yet obviously few are presenting. Are they mainly recruiting? Following emerging research? Curious if anyone with firsthand experience can shed some light on how attendance is…

Worth going to ICML during ACL? [D]
I have a main paper in ACL and a workshop paper in ICML. I'm looking for jobs in U.S. as a graduating student. Would it be worth going to ICML after ACL presentation such that I have more chance to network? ACL is in San Diego and ICML is in Korea, if it changes things.  …

I’d Like to Try for a Google PhD Internship [R]
I’d like to apply for a Google PhD internship, but I currently have only one publication and three ongoing projects that will hopefully be published someday. Do I still have a realistic shot?   submitted by   /u/Sea_Muscle_4281 [link]   [comments]

ICML registration [D]
Hello everyone! I am trying to figure out if a main conference registration gives you access to the expo (companies booth) and the expo talks? Expo are happening on July 6th the same day as tutorials. But for tutorials you need to be registered. Do you also need to have a…

Confused, where to start [D]
Hello community, I am a backend + big data dev. I want to learn about the llms that generate voices. I also read some articles but almost everyone of them starts from regression. There are so much resources available right now that I am now confused where to begin with.  …

Unprofessional Coauthor Behavior with Hallucinated References [D]
Just thought I'd highlight this issue to the ML community, since I recently had this problem arise and it might be useful for some. I had a coauthor who I knew was somewhat untrustworthy when it came to LLM use. This coauthor added some last-minute new references to the paper.…
