It's a choice that says the people who that meaning culture and language don't matter so long as we have some kind of digital autoencoding of their memory.

This is really not that different to the other cases in medicine, technology and law though because it's the same process of devaluing humanity in favour of autoencoding machines that have recorded some set of prior choices.

4/ Autoencoding Random Forests

Link to the paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.21441

This was one of my favorite posters of the conference: We typically think of Random Forests as supervised models, not generative models.
Autoencoding Random Forests
We propose a principled method for autoencoding with random forests. Our strategy builds on foundational results from nonparametric statistics and spectral graph theory to learn a low-dimensional embe...

We train a 350M-parameter generative world model following the Dreamer 4 recipe: a video tokenizer + symmetric decoder is trained via masked autoencoding, and a latent dynamics model is then trained on top of frozen tokenizer latents via flow matching.

Guys I think I fixed Theory of Vibe: The autoencoder formulation had an absurd 'any two elements of a vibe have a meaningful difference-vector' implication. A vibe is actually a diffusion model whose latent space though high-dimensional makes sparse autoencoding (impossible in input space) possible

Neural networks implicitly define a latent vector field on the data manifold, via autoencoding iterations🌀

This representation retains properties of the model, revealing memorization and generalization regimes, and characterizing distribution shifts

Excited to see our Neural Cellular Automata research presented at #SSCI2025! Though I couldn't attend, thanks @ilzhechev.bsky.social for showcasing our work on embodied autoencoding.
🪧 Last week we presented a poster at #SSCI2025: "Embodied Autoencoding Through Neural Cellular Automata".

We show that NCAs can learn to compress, transport, and reconstruct complex patterns through extreme spatial bottlenecks using only local interactions.

if the vibe is a sparse autoencoding matrix of what isn't the vibe, more than that is the vibe, then demonstrably people who show up after the vibe has been established ruin the vibe 🤔

Technical approach:
- Correspondence-aware autoencoding to enhance 3D consistency in VAE latent space
- Builds 3D representations from 3D-aware 2D features
- VAE-Radiance Field alignment to bridge domain gap between latent and image space

Effectively implementing an embodied form of autoencoding as coined by @stenichele.bsky.social.

The system demonstrates robust generalization between training and validation sets, suggesting reliable learning of the underlying computational principles.

I've got no doubt that something like autoencoding of some kind exists somewhere in our learning processes. But we don't learn that way, it's just a component of how we store things.

Latent Radiance Fields with 3D-aware 2D Representations

i'm still flabbergasted by the absolute ass-flop we did from the joys of stylistic transfer and psychedelic autoencoding to the actual gut-wrenching horror of bulk NLP training on copyrighted books and fics being ruled fair use

Stanford's NeuroQuant improves 3D vector-quantized autoencoders for multimodal brain MRI analysis, capturing anatomical structures and modality-specific features, enhancing reconstruction fidelity and enabling generative modeling and cross-modal image analysis. https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.05171

encoding-based representation engineering method, named SRE, which decomposes polysemantic activations into a structured, monosemantic feature space. By leveraging sparse autoencoding, our approach isolates and adjusts only task-specific sparse [4/7 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.16851v1]

3/ We systematically explored temporal architectures (unifying ConvRNNs including from @Chengxu & @dyamins.bsky.social et al. 2017's prior tactile work, SSMs, Transformers) via our Encoder-Attender-Decoder (EAD) framework, built using a custom "PyTorchTNN" library we developed.

Eine grundlegende technische Differenz, die m.E. jede wissenschaftspolitische LLM Strategie berücksichten muss:

Generative (autoregressive) Modelle (die würden wir z.B. für Code Generation brauchen) sind etwas anderes als autoencoding Modelle (für z.B. Klassifikation) oder seq2seq Modelle (für […]
