Grateful for the huge turnout at the 1st workshop on "Time Series in the Age of Large Models" co-located with NeurIPS! Thank you to all invited speakers and participants for making this a huge success 🫶 I hope this brings forth more collaborations and better science🌐

🔥 Optimize your LLM much faster with less compute with our BlockLLM in just few lines of code (published at NeurIPS OPT 2024). 🤖 Code: lnkd.in/gBud8S27 ♠️ Thanks to my collaborators Amrutha Varshini Ramesh, Vignesh Ganapathiraman, and Mark Schmidt.

o1-preview is far superior to doctors on reasoning tasks and it's not even close, according to OpenAI's latest paper. AI does ~80% vs ~30% on the 143 hard NEJM CPC diagnoses. It's dangerous now to trust your doctor and NOT consult an AI model. Here are some actual tasks: 1/5

I'm 37. When I was younger, I wasted years trapped in unresolved trauma. Then I found somatic therapy—a body-centered treatment that releases trapped emotions. Here's everything you need to know about it:🧵

MTEB has been a great driver for text embeddings, but it's time for MMTEB, a high-quality benchmark for next-generation models! 🚀🚀🚀 1. Instruction-following embeddings 📚 2. Multilingual but still great for English 🌐 3. Highly selective tasks with less/no redundancy 🎯 4.

I’m excited to announce that 💫StarVector has been accepted at CVPR 2025! Over a year in the making, StarVector opens a new paradigm for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation by harnessing multimodal LLMs to generate SVG code that aesthetically mirrors input images and text.

A surprising & little-known results in classical statistics: Mean (μ) and median (m) are within one std deviation: |μ−m| ≤ σ For unimodal densities, bound is even tighter |μ−m| ≤ 0.7746 σ This beautiful results first appeared in a 1932 paper by Hotelling & Solomons 1/3

New fastest shortest-path algorithm in 41 years! Tsinghua researchers broke Dijkstra’s 1984 “sorting barrier,” achieving O(m log^(2/3) n) time. This means faster route planning, less traffic, cheaper deliveries, and more efficient networks - and a CS curriculum revamp =)

This might be the most underrated AI skill of 2025: JSON prompting. It turns your LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude into consistent, structured agents no hallucinations, no mess. Here’s how it works (with copy-paste templates):
