I'm late to the party, but I loved @randomwalker.bsky.social's annotated ICML keynote slides. He clearly puts into words so many vague thoughts I had (and didn't have). Highly recommended! It's a great preparation to answer my relatives’ actual questions about AI, unlike my own work 😅

CDS Faculty Fellow @florentinguth.bsky.social, CDS PhD alum Zahra Kadkhodaie, & CDS Professor @eerosim.bsky.social, in a NeurIPS 2025 paper, estimate image probability directly & discover natural images differ in probability by factors of up to 10^14,000. nyudatascience.medium.com/when-ai-lear...

When AI Learns What Makes an Image Probable, Simple Beats Complex by 10¹⁴⁰⁰⁰
Natural images vary in probability by up to 10¹⁴⁰⁰⁰, CDS researchers find, challenging assumptions about how images are structured.

What is the probability of an image? What do the highest and lowest probability images look like? Do natural images lie on a low-dimensional manifold? In a new preprint with Zahra Kadkhodaie and @eerosim.bsky.social, we develop a novel energy-based model in order to answer these questions: 🧵

A loose thought that's been bubbling around for me recently: when you think of a 'generic' big matrix, you might think of it as being close to low-rank (e.g. kernel matrices), or very far from low-rank (e.g. the typical scope of random matrix theory). Intuition ought to be quite different in each.

Speaking at this #NeurIPS2024 workshop on a new analytic theory of creativity in diffusion models that predicts what new images they will create and explains how these images are constructed as patch mosaics of the training data. Great work by @masonkamb.bsky.social scienceofdlworkshop.github.io
