My headphones just got way better with iOS 17 so something is up.

yeah, that sounds about right. I spend a lot of time each month combing through papers that are interesting but also useful and probably worthwhile E.g., "AI Research Highlights In 3 Sentences Or Less (May-June 2023)" https://

ML Debugging: Prioritize Reproducer Speed Over Bug Fixes
By
–
Bugs in ML code, no matter how surprising, are almost always fixable once you create a reproducer than runs in 5 minutes or less. If your reproducer takes an hour or longer, for a confusing bug often better to work on golfing down its runtime rather than trying to fix the bug.

UK Tech Policy Funding Gap Blame Culture Critique
By
–
Moral of the story in the UK tech policy world (and perhaps beyond too) is that if you’ve got a problem, no matter what it is, blame it on a “funding gap”.

Diffusion Models Training 70% Faster with Competitive Performance
By
–
In fig, comparison with diffusion models on ImageNet-256×256 with and without guidance. The area of each bubble indicates the FLOPs for a single forward pass during training. Our method is more compute-efficient with competitive performance: reduces training time by ~70%

Asymmetric Transformer Architecture with Masked Patch Reconstruction
By
–
Ours is an asymmetric transformer encoder-decoder architecture: encoder on unmasked patches + decoder on full patches. To promote learning, we add an auxiliary task of reconstructing masked patches to denoising score-matching objective that learns the score of unmasked patches.

Masked Training Reduces Diffusion Model Training Costs by 70%
By
–
Reduce training cost of diffusion models by ~70% through masked training of transformer backbones. Masked training is popular for self-supervised representation learning, but we are first to show for #GenerativeAI https://
