🚀 Names matter! We show that better class names in open-vocabulary segmentation benchmarks greatly improve dataset quality and boost model performance. RENOVATE your dataset labels with our automatic framework! #AI #ComputerVision #NeurIPS24

Excited that our multi-agent LLM agent work, “Cooperate or Collapse: Emergence of Sustainable Cooperation in a Society of LLM Agents,” will be presented at #NeurIPS24 -- reach out if you want to meet up in Vancouver!

Just came across this interesting blog post on the job market for new PhD grads in AI: kyunghyuncho.me/i-sensed-anxiety-and-frustration-at-neurips24

The argument feels pretty reasonable. Here is my take: (1/6)

What are your biggest takes from attending #NeurIPS24? Where do you think the field is moving/should move?

the Sepp Hochreiter on stage at #NeurIPS24 for the Posner lecture

on the different stages in science, engineering and industrialization

(early, 8.30am, but very nice to start the day)

In NAVSIM #NeurIPS24, we use simulation metrics for end-to-end driving by unrolling BEV abstractions of scenes for a few seconds. The result? Open-loop evaluation that is better aligned with closed-loop evaluation compared to traditional open loop metrics. github.com/autonomousvi...

I am deeply troubled and shocked by MIT professor Rosalind Picard’s keynote speech at NeurIPS24 that included a racist comment about Chinese students. This type of implicit bias has no place in academia.
NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. 1/3

Hey, #chemsky tweeps. If you are at #Neurips next week, visit our poster on ‘Applications of Modular Co-Design for De Novo 3D Molecule Generation’. neurips.cc/virtual/2024... Drop me a line if you want to chat about #ML4Scince #compchem and #GenAI #NeurIPS24

neural nets are so good... at finding #shortcuts to your downstream tasks!

how can you measure if they learned the right labels for the right reasons?

here is a cool dataset with labeled intermediate #concepts that you can use for concept-bottlenecks and #neurosymbolic #AI

at #NeurIPS24
📣 Does your model learn high-quality #concepts, or does it learn a #shortcut?

Test it with our #NeurIPS2024 dataset & benchmark track paper!

rsbench: A Neuro-Symbolic Benchmark Suite for Concept Quality and Reasoning Shortcuts

What's the deal with rsbench? 🧵

Subsequent to #neurips24, we had the chance to give a seminar at #LBNL. @lbnlcs.bsky.social It was great seeing old friends @axccl.bsky.social.
To complete the swirl, we visited @loicaroyer.bsky.social at @cziscience.bsky.social in downtown SF. What an inspiring day! @helmholtzai.bsky.social

🚀 #NeurIPS24: Excited to share UniGuide! We've developed a new approach for molecular diffusion models that enables flexible geometric conditioning across tasks—no retraining required.

I am totally in the FOMO mode, seeing #NeurIPS24 messages. I’m not there :( this year.

However, I recommend chatting with my co-authors and students :) @bartoszpiotrowski.bsky.social @albertqjiang.bsky.social @michalnauman @mateuszostaszewski.bsky.social

An excellent work comparing MAE- and JEPA-type SSL dynamics (the latter is commonly called non-contrastive). They get a closed-form ODE of i-th feature importance.
