The article delves into the phenomenon of model collapse, which affects generations of generative models such as LLMs, GMMs, and VAEs. It describes the degenerative process whereby models trained on data generated by previous generations misperceive reality over time, leading to convergence to a distribution with reduced variance. The content highlights three specific sources of […]

Artificial intelligence models are increasingly integrated into various sectors, requiring a deep understanding of their inner workings. MIT researchers have developed “MAIA,” an automated system that interprets neural networks used in AI vision models. MAIA can identify individual components, clean up irrelevant features, and uncover biases in AI systems. The system combines a vision-language model […]
Algebraic data types (ADTs) are fundamental in functional programming and closely resemble mathematical algebra. Equivalence between algebraic data types and algebra allows counting inhabitants of types using algebraic expressions. Manipulating ADTs using algebra rules leads to insightful transformations, such as simplifying Choice a to 2×a, connecting algebra to familiar concepts. Connection between ADTs and calculus […]
InteractiVenn allows users to create Venn diagrams based on list unions or tree unions. Users can now show percentages instead of just counts, and mouse-over numbers will now highlight their sets. A new feature allows users to export diagrams and edit them further in Inkscape. This tool was developed by Heberle, Meirelles, da Silva, Telles, […]
The author emphasizes the importance of learning in public as the most effective way to improve your skills and advance in your career. They highlight the need to create learning exhaust by sharing knowledge through various mediums such as blogs, tutorials, videos, and workshops. The author encourages interacting with the tech community, contributing to open […]
This paper introduces a new method for determining the impact of managers on team performance by randomly assigning them to teams and accounting for individual skills. Effective managers are shown to significantly improve team performance compared to workers. Surprisingly, self-nominated managers perform worse due to overconfidence, particularly in social skills. The study reveals that economic […]
SAML is the go-to authentication protocol for enterprises, providing a Single Sign On (SSO) solution similar to “Login with Google/Facebook” buttons. With SSO, users access multiple apps using a single account, reducing the need for multiple passwords. SAML involves three key players: 1. Identity Provider (IdP): Centralized user management system (e.g., Azure AD, Auth0) 2. […]
In this article, the author shares insights from their journey of learning how to utilize deep learning in computer graphics, aiming to help others quickly grasp terms and concepts in deep learning. They introduce neural networks, particularly multilayer perceptron (MLP), as powerful tools for tasks like classification and regression. The article includes code and a […]
