@DimitrisPapail Really neat head-to-head comparison! The "pair tokens" are reminiscent of the "index hints" that arxiv.org/pdf/2310.16028 uses (Section 5.1) to enable length generalization in arithmetic. Maybe Codex's solution will generalize to >10 digit addition!

@VictorKnox99 @GRaM_org_ Speaking for both myself and the workshop: yes, very much! Work on the geometry of activations would be a perfect fit.

Have a new result to showcase? Want to explain a concept people often misunderstand? Write a blogpost for the @GRaM_org_ workshop! Opinions, open problems, and reproducibility results are all welcome. Not due until April 6, so you can even start now. 😉 gram-workshop.github.io

My cofounders and I have been building Coefficient Bio for the past 5 months. We're ushering biopharma into the Intelligence Age. It will change everything about how the industry learns and makes decisions. If that's a future you want to build, get in touch!
Nathan C. Frey@nc_frey

Join the early team @CoefficientBio. We have an AI team that I’m incredibly proud of, and truly think is the most effective and exceptional technical team building in AI x bio. We're looking for people to: * Build and maintain robust AI systems to an exacting standard * Design and run experiments that let us iterate fast * Work on challenging scientific and engineering problems for human flourishing NYC-based (or willing to relocate). If you’re curious about what we’re building, reach out directly. If we don’t know each other yet, a great cold DM (or email: join@coefficientbio.com), or warm intro goes a long way.

Want a flexible equivariant model that can process many symmetries? Come to our spotlight talk at @neur_reps tomorrow 9:10am (upper ballroom 6A), to learn about ✨Any-Subgroup Equivariant Networks✨. w/ the great team: Abhinav Goel, @dereklim_lzh, @HLawrenceCS, Stefanie Jegelka.

Happy to have presented this work with @HLawrenceCS @vportilheiro and Yan! Thanks to those who came! Check out the paper to learn about the link between symmetry breaking, equivariant distributions and positional encodings (+experiments on Ising models) arxiv.org/abs/2503.21985

Equivariant functions (e.g. GNNs) can't break symmetries, which can be problematic for generative models and beyond. Come to poster #207 Saturday at 10AM to hear about our solution: SymPE, or symmetry-breaking positional encodings! w/Vasco Portilheiro, Yan Zhang, @sekoumarkaba

@HordanSnir @sekoumarkaba E.g. even if the graph has no automorphisms, the eigenvectors have a sign ambiguity, so there is unnecessary "randomness" (and the ambiguity may not be broken by svd in the same way when you permute). It's still a decent method in practice. Happy to discuss more @ the poster :)

@HordanSnir @sekoumarkaba Yes, certainly this is one method of breaking symmetries! It fits within our more general framework. That said, the randomness you are injecting to break symmetries is "higher entropy" than strictly necessary, because of the ambiguities for eigenvectors.
