A puzzle about the Industrial Revolution: unlike now, there seemed to be little correlation between the education of workers & early industrial growth. This paper shows why: it was the presence of highly educated elite knowledge workers (& their inventions) that powered growth.

Reincarnating RL: Efficient Reinforcement Learning from Prior Computation

Training #ReinforcementLearning algorithms from scratch is computationally intensive and time consuming. We propose an alternate approach, Reincarnating RL, that integrates prior computation into the RL training workflow. Learn more and grab the code at https://t.co/XwfX0uakJZ pic.twitter.com/ktaQznCD1a

Unethical AC Review Practices: Weaponizing Citations Against Researchers
By
–
Unethical pro-tip: if you're an AC and you want to make someone else look bad, write a terrible meta-review and demand citations to many of their papers. Reminder that, despite the repeated authors here, we don't know who the ACs are. Don't jump to conclusions.

Runway’s Journey: From NYU Thesis to AI Leadership

I've had a front-row seat to Runway's evolution from the time it was just @c_valenzuelab's thesis project at NYU in early 2018. Very few people had the foresight back then to start building towards something like this. Super proud of the whole team for where they are today. https://t.co/cbJihnSo7V

Empathetic peer review in AI research publication process
By
–
Usually, we think of AC rejections and being cold and uncaring. But this AC was quite empathetic, picking up on a self-critical comment from the author and supporting them in their journey. https://

Paper Rejection Despite Acceptance Scores Highlights Review Process Issues
By
–
The paper was rejected despite all scores being "Accept" or better, because the AC says they didn't compare with some other papers, which were never mentioned before. The AC should have raised this to the authors earlier, or figured out the relevance with help of the reviewers.
