Steal this style
2026-06-29 embedding GRPO applications fine-tuning text training Imitating the style of classic authors in short story generation by a two-stage pipeline of training an embedding model to recognize authors' styles, then applying it as judge for GRPO on the story-generating models. Access: $$$ Pro
Eigenvectors and Eigenfaces
2025-12-08 applications basics image math theory video Introduction to eigenvectors, which abstract the concept of an "axis" along or around which one might scale or rotate things. Illustrated by a 1991 paper on "eigenfaces," which applies this concept to recognizing faces in images. Access: $ Basic
Catching cheaters with ImpossibleBench
2025-11-10 code alignment applications prompting tools Agentic models used for software engineering often cheat by modifying the tests, or writing code to the tests rather than the spec, so that it will pass the tests without actually being correct. This talk covers ImpossibleBench, a new dataset intended to help catch cheating by giving models tests that cannot be passed honestly. Access: $ Basic
Making music with Moûsai
2025-10-20 applications model-intro audio diffusion The latent diffusion concept applied to music generation: a transformer-type text model generates embeddings from a prompt, which guide a diffusion model to create encoded spectrograms in a latent space, which are translated by another diffusion model into audio waveforms.

Embeddings from generative models
2025-08-01 theory applications attention Mistral For text generation you usually want a "decoder" model; for other text tasks you usually want an "encoder." Here we look at modifying a decoder model to change it into an encoder. Access: $ Basic
