for the past 2 weeks I’ve been reading every abstract from #neurips2023 here are my notes about what I discovered: i think everyone can learn something new from this, and I hope this resource is useful!

ok so mathjax was (and still is) being pesky, so i had to reupload to repeat: i made a super concise, annotated code guide for kolmogorov-arnold nets (which r scary but not rly)! focuses less on b-splines and more on researching them; plz take a read!❤️

Very happy to share this work that we’ve been doing for the past year (also was part of my junior paper)! At a high-level, we want to be able to modulate the behavior of AI agents through language. In our work, we do this by learning WMs that can read text.

📢 Excited to announce our new paper Language-guided world models: A model-based approach to AI control • We develop LWMs: world models that can read texts to capture new environment dynamics • These models enable humans to efficiently control agents by providing language

spent some time tinkering w/ KANs by @ZimingLiu11 and wrote up an *Annotated KAN w/ code* for ppl who want to quickly try them out (i’m unaffiliated btw, was just doing some research on them) tried to make it super barebones and readable > efficient

Current video understanding systems do not work over long streams of video bc of a lack of labelled data. So we created ASAP, a fully automated sports annotation pipeline to generate high-quality video annotations, and LCric, an 1000+ hour benchmark to go with it!

Excited to introduce ASAP, an automated pipeline for annotating sports matches! ⚽🏈🏀 Using ASAP, we created LCric, a fully-annotated 1000+ hour video understanding benchmark of full-length cricket matches. 🏏 Page: Paper: (1/5)👇

@thegautamkamath Thank you for the kind words! I feel like this kind of exercise is especially useful if you are already aware of what’s popular so you pay special attention to novel ideas and more obscure research directions

tldr; i added custom masks to FlashAttention2 (Triton implementation) this weekend. it's easy to use & mostly functions the same as the original. story is my friend @AlperCanberk1 's team needed this feature bc xformer's memory_efficient_attention doesn't work well

@cplee123 sort of. was originally going to start my PhD but got cold feet last minute because of changing interests — didn’t apply to jobs this cycle because of this, but tentatively will continue research for next year at princeton

@cocoweixu funny story my original plan was to do this for iclr2024 instead but when I started the process they hadn’t finished reviews… unfortunately I go back to school in a week lol so it’ll have to be someone else

@imrahulmaddy yeah I’ve been meaning to clean that up. I pulled a bunch of papers from arxiv originally before realizing the bibtex is on openreview, but I’m gonna spend some time changing them all to openreview (bc it includes conference as well) soon

code & notebooks here: wasn’t able to cook up any groundbreaking results, but i hope the examples are informative also, would love feedback since i plan to formalize my notes for others to use in the future
