Diffusion Models

I spent 2022 learning to draw and was blindsided by the rise of AI art There is lots to say about this, whether it has been or will be a good thing for artists and society in the long run. I hope to write about it in another post. models like Stable Diffusion. Suddenly, the computer was a better artist than I could…

Calculating the cost of a Google DeepMind paper

Recently, GDM released a great paper titled, Scaling Exponents Across Parameterizations and Optimizers, in which they conduct over 10,000 LLM training runs to obtain optimal hyperparameters under different regimes. After reading it (it was great), I wanted to test my understanding of the paper by tallying up all…

How AlphaChip transformed computer chip design

Our AI method has accelerated and optimized chip design, and its superhuman chip layouts are used in hardware around the world. AlphaChip was one of the first reinforcement learning approaches used to solve a real-world engineering problem. It generates superhuman or comparable chip layouts in hours, rather than weeks…

Where is Noether's principle in machine learning?

Physics likes optimization! Subject to its boundary conditions, the time evolution of a physical system is a critical point for a quantity called an action. This point of view sets the stage for Noether's principle , a remarkable correspondence between continuous invariances of the action and conservation laws of the…
