LLMs are autoregressive and slow? No! Parallel Token Prediction decodes multiple consistent tokens in one model call. PTP allows arbitrary dependencies in one call, unlike discrete diffusion. Practical: 2.4x speedup github.com/mandt-lab/ptp ICLR: Apr 23, morning poster P3-#608
Just got back from an incredible experience at the EXCLAIM symposium “Is AI the Future of Weather and Climate Modeling?” at the @ethz.ch. 🧵 1/n
What an exciting collaboration! Congratulations, @f-immorlano.bsky.social @gabrieleaccarino.bsky.social @stephanmandt.bsky.social @pierregentine.bsky.social + colleagues at CMCC Foundation, @columbiauniversity.bsky.social @ucirvine.bsky.social @dlr-spaceagency.bsky.social @dlr-en.bsky.social

So delighted to share our new paper, my little Covid project brought to a whole new level by Francesco Immorlano www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... We demonstrate how future projections can be refined using transfer learning (fine tuning). This refines our estimates of global warming.

Our Dep. Dir. Tian Zheng connected w/Cali LEAPers @jlin404.com + @f-immorlano.bsky.social and other colleagues (Katherine Frields, Liran Peng, Yan Xia) while at an event near @ucirvine.bsky.social ... Just proves: science = more fun together! 💪 #LEAPcolors #community #ML #AI #physics #data #climate
Excited to share some great collaboration on a new data assimilation framework with transformer encoding arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02884. Exciting times for data assimilation with ML
