Introduction Throughout my academic career, I worked on various problems surrounding the robustness of deep learning models. Until a few years ago, these topics had their own niches within the academic but also industrial community. While some of this work got adopted in specific domains, e.g., consider corruption robustness benchmarks such as ImageNet-C in computer vision, much of it stayed separate from more mainstream developments such as foundation models. Today, in contrast, work on evaluation metrics and benchmarks […]

RL is powerful enough to train superhuman policies, especially in video games. But is there any research on how to leverage RL’s policy/value networks to improve human training speed? How can we apply behavioral cloning to humans? Past research has shown that simply providing a human with optimal moves doesn’t improve their pattern recognition or performance, it only increases their reliance on the feedback, making them worse. Humans use some form of RL to learn motor skills and […]

[…] in the last 10 years I’ve learned to really love and respect CSS as a technology. So I decided years ago that I wanted to react to “CSS is hard” by getting better at CSS and taking it seriously as a technology, instead of devaluing it. Doing that changed everything for me: I learned that so many of my frustrations (“centering is impossible”) had been addressed in CSS a long time ago, and that also what “centering” […]

Link: Judea Pearl, 2011 ACM Turing Award Recipient (2:18:05) Quote: There is a limitation to that which people not everybody understand. I already mentioned a limitation that you have a hierarchy here and going from correlation to causation and from causation from causation to explanation or to imagination. It’s hard for people especially in machine learning to grasp that wall the limitation of one layer where one layer ends and the other one begins. Why? Because of two […]
