Ha, I hope it didn't scare people away. The attention mechanism is probably the toughest one in the book (but it's necessary as it's otherwise building a car without the engine). In any case, hope you are liking the book overall!

LLMs Versus Classic Methods: Knowledge Graphs and Explicit Techniques
By
–
I think these are more used in the more classic, pre-LLM era. LLMs are not typically using those explicitly (unless we are talking about knowledge-graph augmented LLMs)

Robust Representation Consistency Model Accepted to ICLR 2025
By
–
Thrilled to announce our paper "Robust Representation Consistency Model (rRCM)" was accepted to #ICLR2025.
It combines contrastive learning with consistency training to enhance robust representation learning and sets a new standard in certified robustness. @JiachenLei @julberner -
Neural Networks Model General Data Structures Before Transformers
By
–
Yup Grammar as a Foreign Language was mind blowing to me, and the first demo that we could really model general data structures with neural nets — even pre-transformers. Felt like everything was possible… and alas, it turns out that everything was possible : )

Flexibility in Reasoning LLMs with Preference Tuning
By
–
Oh I see. Yeah maybe depends on how extensive the preference tuning was. But in general it should be possible to achieve the same "flexibility" there as with non-reasoning LLMs.

R1 Explicit Preference Reward Training Purpose Discussion
By
–
Why not? I mean R1 even had an explicit preference reward at the end of training; I think that's there exactly for that purpose.
