Linear Regression: Straight & Narrow - Linear Regression for Machine Learning

Linear regression may be the key statistical method in machine learning, but it didn’t get to be that way without a fight. Two eminent mathematicians claimed credit for it, and 200 years later the matter remains unresolved.

Image Generation + Probabilities: New Method Boosts Performance for Normalizing Flow

If you want to both synthesize data and find the probability of any given example — say, generate images of manufacturing defects to train a defect detector and identify the highest-probability defects — you may use the architecture known as a normalizing flow.

Efficiency Experts: Mixture of Experts Makes Language Models More Efficient

The emerging generation of trillion-parameter language models take significant computation to train. Activating only a portion of the network at a time can cut the requirement dramatically and still achieve exceptional results.

More Realistic Pictures From Text: How the Glide Diffusion Model Generates Images from Text

OpenAI’s DALL·E got an upgrade that takes in text descriptions and produces images in styles from hand-drawn to photorealistic. The new version is a rewrite from the ground up. It uses the earlier CLIP zero-shot image classifier to represent text descriptions.

From Sequences to Symbols: Transformers Extend AI's Mathematical Capabilities

Given a sequence of numbers, neural networks have proven adept at discovering a mathematical expression that generates it. New work uses transformers to extend that success to a further class of expressions.
