A dream come true! I presented "No Representation, No Trust" on my favorite RL podcast, TalkRL! Make sure to check it out to learn why training with PPO for too long makes your agent collapse!

🚀 Introducing PICLe: a framework for in-context named-entity detection (NED) using pseudo-annotated demonstrations. 🎯 No human labeling needed—yet it outperforms few-shot learning with human annotations! #AI #NLProc #LLMs #ICL #NER

Better VQ-VAEs with this one weird rotation trick! I missed this when it came out, but I love papers like this: a simple change to an already powerful technique, that significantly improves results without introducing complexity or hyperparameters.
