Study Notes
- Yann LeCun is a prominent figure in the field of AI, currently holding positions at NYU and Meta, where he is the vice president and chief AI scientist. He was the recipient of the 2018 Turing Award for his work on deep learning and convolutional neural networks.
- Self-supervised learning, particularly in natural language processing, involves predicting missing words in a text to build a representation that captures meaning, grammar, syntax, and semantics, which can be applied to various downstream tasks.
- Generative autoregressive language models, such as GPT series, have billions of parameters and are trained on massive amounts of text data, producing impressive results in generating text but lack common sense and planning abilities.
- Llama 2, an open-source large language model recently released by Meta, comes in three versions with varying parameters and has been pretrained on 2 trillion tokens. It compares favorably to other systems and promotes open innovation in AI.
- There is a debate about whether AI should be kept proprietary or open source. Meta supports an open research approach, believing that the potential benefits of AI outweigh the risks, leading to the possibility of an ecosystem built on open-source LLMs.
- The future envisions AI systems as the primary interface for interacting with the digital world, serving as a repository of human knowledge and transforming how we access information and interact with technology.- History of the internet shows the importance of open-source infrastructure, with Linux, Apache, Chrome, Firefox, and JavaScript being key components.
- The speaker predicts a similar shift towards open-source in the context of AI due to concerns about information control by a few tech companies.
- Open-source AI is seen as inevitable and necessary for global acceptance.
- Fine-tuning AI systems through mechanisms like RHF (Reward hacking framework) is essential due to the vast collection of human knowledge.
- Autoregressive LLMs (Large Language Models) have limitations including lack of reasoning, planning, and connection to physical reality.
- Challenges in AI research include learning representations, reasoning, and hierarchical action planning.
- The speaker advocates for "Objective Driven AI" based on a cognitive architecture for optimized objective-based inference.
- Building systems capable of hierarchical planning is a major challenge for AI research.
- A proposed joint embedding predictive architecture (JEPA) aims to predict representations rather than outcomes, allowing for more effective prediction in complex scenarios.
- The speaker argues for moving away from generative models in favor of joint embedding architectures for better predictions and understanding of the world.- Self-supervised learning for images requires joint embedding architectures for successful results.
- The joint embedding architecture aims to produce representations that are identical for corrupted and uncorrupted images.
- Energy-based models capture dependencies between variables using an energy function rather than probabilistic modeling.
- Training methods for energy-based models include contrastive methods and regularized methods.
- The regularized method focuses on minimizing the volume of space with low energy to prevent system collapse.
- Proposed method VICReg (Variance-Invariance-Covariance Regularization) is effective for joint embedding predictive architectures in image recognition.
- The VICRegL method is a modification specifically tuned for segmentation tasks.
- The Image JEPA method uses masking and transformer architecture for feature learning in images.
- DINO is another method by colleagues at Paris for preventing collapse in self-supervised learning.
- The ultimate goal is to build hierarchical systems for predicting real-world outcomes using self-supervised learning and JEPA architecture.
