Scientific American (@sciam.bsky.social) named Lvmin Zhang (@lvminzhang.bsky.social) to it's inaugural list of young scientists recognizing his work on developing AI for digital creation. Congratulations to Lvmin! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lvmin-zhang/25 Jun 2026 19:13 +0000at://did:plc:33vppbdekimiij5ngpjfm4sa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp556mfok42qhttps://bsky.app/profile/magrawala.bsky.social/post/3mms4i7ioss2eSelf-consistency has proven to be an effective method for improving LLM performance on tasks with language outputs (e.g. QA). We sample multiple LLM responses and group them to find the most consistent answer. But how can we apply self-consistency to visual domains? https://vimeo.com/1178981854?fl=pl&fe=cm26 May 2026 23:11 +0000at://did:plc:33vppbdekimiij5ngpjfm4sa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mms4i7ioss2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/magrawala.bsky.social/post/3m7j7566juk2xDidn't expect to run into Chernoff faces in a scifi book about the nature of consciousness and a world where transhumans live alongside vampires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernoff_face08 Dec 2025 23:37 +0000at://did:plc:33vppbdekimiij5ngpjfm4sa/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7j7566juk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/magrawala.bsky.social/post/3m5u7hqkkng2uExcited to get back to UC Berkeley this Wed Nov 19.
