Thank you @Caltech for including me in the history of AI. It starts with Carver Mead, John Hopfield and Richard Feynman coming together to teach a course on physics of computation. Not many are aware that the main AI conference, NeurIPS, started at @Caltech

SignSGD and Signum: Sign-Based Gradient Optimization Methods
By
–
When we derived SignSGD and Signum, it was surprising how just keeping the sign of stochastic gradients is sufficient for convergence and we could prove that theoretically. In practice, Signum and derivatives like Lion work well even at large scale. It is interesting to see Adam

Excited to introduce our latest work, Guided Diffusion Sampling on Function Spaces (FunDPS) (
https://
arxiv.org/abs/2505.17004) – a discretization-agnostic generative framework for solving PDE-based forward and inverse problems. Diffusion-based posterior sampling on function spaces: Our -
AI Understanding Physical World for Scientific Discovery
By
