I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris. After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

@kaggle.com seriously? Are you really hosting an "object recognition" challenge with classes which include "plane,drone,human,ship" and goals which include "identifying objects of interest in operational contexts"?

🧵New paper: "Lost in Backpropagation: The LM Head is a Gradient Bottleneck" The output layer of LLMs destroys 95-99% of your training signal during backpropagation, and this significantly slows down pretraining 👇

In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.

We will be running the 13th iteration of the workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization (FGVC) at CVPR this summer. We have an open call for papers that explore questions in visual recognition. Please see our website for more information: sites.google.com/view/fgvc13/...
