Agreed. Level 5 autonomy is the only way to go. Will need expensive LiDAR etc for now. Can’t expect humans to suddenly intervene if the level 3/4 system messes up. This cavalier approach from Tesla may kill many innocent bystanders, and may trigger legislation which could kill…

arxiv.org/abs/2404.01261 I currently don’t trust LLMs enough to find them useful for my work. Science needs to be accurate. OTOH we need reliable QA and summarization tools to help with the deluge of papers, so the quest goes on…

Internal Gemini did quite well on this, but still made errors, and is not yet public. So I did it by hand using this useful library github.com/rrtucci/texnn/…

This is a great podcast! Two really smart and articulate people having a super interesting conversation on AI. I have some issues with what Dario said, but it’s worth listening to. (Plus other shows from @ezraklein :) nytimes.com/2024/04/12/opi…
This looks cool - a Jax-inspired PyTorch library for Bayesian deep Learning. It even has EKF (although only diagonal, not our low rank trick …)

don’t you think it’s wildly irresponsible to use the general public - not just Tesla owners who choose this feature - as part of a data flywheel? I love my Tesla S, but FSD needs to be much more robust before releasing in the wild. Humans can’t intervene quickly enough in case…

I assume the purpose of the focus on "ML for social impact" is to get URMs interested in the field (it would be good to hear from the NeurIPS people who created this...), but I think in reality this track will be used by already high-achieving students (not URMs) to further pad…

This is my semi-periodic request to VLM gurus: when will I be able to upload an image such as the one below and have {ChatGPT, Gemini, Whatever} give me back tikz code that reconstructs the figure? I would pay >$20/month for that! (@dmdohan knows :)
Totally agree. Unfortunately for me, the golden hours, where Deepmind work hours in California overlap with work hours in Europe, are during my morning, so my day usually starts with meetings and messages :( Context switching makes it hard to do anything creative or technical.

Stanley's probability textbook (probability4datascience.com) is fantastic, so I imagine this tutorial on diffusion is good as well. However, I am no longer of a fan of presenting the discrete time version - the flow matching interpretation seems more elegant.

I'm delighted to present that our AutoBNN library is out. We show how to define a meaningful prior over functions, based on sums and products of base GP kernels, and convert it to a mathematically equivalent (in the limit) neural net architecture. This gives strong OOD…
Indeed! A much needed book.
It’s shocking to me that some people want to attribute feelings and consciousness to AGI but not to our closest animal relatives.

@yudapearl It's mostly a myth, if you ask me. Humans are rationalizing creatures, not rational ones. We start out with a belief based on vibes, culture, and gut instinct, and reverse-engineer our way back to a seemingly rational explanation for it.
Amazing thread. Realistic 3D hand-object interaction capture and generation are dreams that are becoming real. A good dataset like #ARCTIC is a huge amount of work but can be a massive catalyst for the field.
Looking for new projects this year? ARCTIC (github.com/zc-alexfan/arc…) is a dataset that includes accurate body/hand/object poses, multi-view RGB videos for articulated object manipulation. There have been several emerging directions that worth following up since release. See 🧵
