Yann LeCun: Filling the Gap in Large Language Models

In this episode, Yann LeCun, a renowned computer scientist and AI researcher, shares his insights on the limitations of large language models and how his new joint embedding predictive architecture could help bridge the gap. While large language models have made remarkable strides in natural language processing and understanding, they are still far from perfect. Yann LeCun points out that these models often cannot capture the nuances and complexities of language, leading to inaccuracies and errors. To address this gap, Yann LeCun introduces his new joint embedding predictive architecture - a novel approach to language modelling that combines techniques from computer vision and natural language processing. This approach involves jointly embedding text and images, allowing for more accurate predictions and a better understanding of the relationships between original concepts and objects.

ICLR 2020: Yann LeCun and Energy-Based Models

This week Connor Shorten, Yannic Kilcher and Tim Scarfe reacted to Yann LeCun's keynote speech at this year's ICLR conference which just passed. ICLR is the number two ML conference and was completely open this year, with all the sessions publicly accessible via the internet. Yann spent most of his talk speaking about self-supervised learning, Energy-based models (EBMs) and manifold learning. Don't worry if you hadn't heard of EBMs before, neither had we!
