There's an entire parallel scientific corpus most western researches never see.
Today i'm launching chinarxiv.org, a fully automated translation pipeline of all Chinese preprints, including the figures, to make that available.

Can we apply gradient descent to discrete changes? In our new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper, we show that gradient descent can work on shape grammars, as in CAD and procedural modeling, but only if the grammars are designed correctly!

It's my birthday today. To celebrate, I'm releasing an extension of OpenAI's recent interpretability work.
My project extracts Python functions from an LLM, revealing the behaviors encoded in its weights (e.g. quotation closing).
Demo + code: github.com/neelsomani/sym…

Excited to share our latest work on untangling language models by training them with extremely sparse weights! We can isolate tiny circuits inside the model responsible for various simple behaviors and understand them unprecedentedly well. openai.com/index/understa…
