Announcing NeurIPS Preschool Track This year, we invite preschoolers to submit machine learning research papers.
So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.
A tweet 3 years late for me... (tried leading 4 projects simultaneously 🤦♂️). Agree with the author wholeheartedly, and then some.

Congrats to @AIatMeta on Llama 3 release!! 🎉 ai.meta.com/blog/meta-llam… Notes: Releasing 8B and 70B (both base and finetuned) models, strong-performing in their model class (but we'll see when the rankings come in @ @lmsysorg :)) 400B is still training, but already encroaching…
Our 12 scaling laws (for LLM knowledge capacity) are out: arxiv.org/abs/2404.05405. Took me 4mos to submit 50,000 jobs; took Meta 1mo for legal review; FAIR sponsored 4,200,000 GPU hrs. Hope this is a new direction to study scaling laws + help practitioners make informed decisions
As the @icmlconf discussion period is ending please go back to the papers you are reviewing and reread the autor responses. Did they address your concerns? If so, update your score. If not, add a specific response, not "I decided to keep my score". Do justice to time and effort🙏
hot take: "it's just linear algebra" does not decrease the importance, complexity, or beauty of a field, and if anything, elevates it.

Why do we use log everywhere in optimization? It turns products into sums, which are easier to differentiate. And because log is monotone it doesn't change the location of the extremes, making the solutions stay the same. I think this is understated in optimization courses.
Models are the new data! We could hit over 2M AI models @huggingface by 2025. How can we leverage all that data? The answer is obvious: Deep Learning! Let the neural network learn from neural networks. 1/n
Introducing CrossQ, just published at #ICLR2024! 🎉 CrossQ achieves: 🔥 Very fast off-policy Deep RL 📈 with SOTA sample-efficiency in <5% of the gradient steps 🧹 without target nets or Q ensembles 🧑🏻💻Project and Code: adityab.github.io/CrossQ Joint work w/ @DPalenicek 🧵👇
In a world of compute-intensive frontier models and sky-high industry salaries, why do a PhD? In the first of a series on "Adam's unpopular opinions", I argue doing a PhD is still best way for most people to develop key research skills.
Can we adaptively generate training environments with LLMs to help small embodied RL game agents learn useful skills that they are weak at? 🤔 👉 Check out EnvGen, an effective+efficient framework in which an LLM progressively generates and adapts training environments based on…
This is one of the first clear examples I’ve seen of AI accelerating AI development -- not by helping with coding/self-critiquing, but by proposing new environments to train an agent in. Results: - better performance - better sample efficiency - adaptive learning curriculum

Code is largely worthless, more of a liability than an asset. Problem-solving is where the value is.
