A summer endeavor, developing MLC: the first open lecture series on ML compilation. Machine learning compilation is an emerging field for systematic optimization and deployment of AI workloads. Hope to share adventures and fun with the community mlc.ai/summer22/ 🚀

I'm starting a series of blog posts on "optimization nuggets": short and beautiful proofs in optimization (let me know what you think!). First one shows that SGD converges exponentially fast to a neighborhood of the solution: fa.bianp.net/blog/2021/expon…

What if I told you that fine-tuning T5-Large (0.8B params) on a couple hundred examples could outperform GPT-3 (175B params) on a bunch of tasks?
I’m thrilled to share our new work “A Few More Examples May Be Worth *Billions* of Parameters”. Joint w/ @PSH_Lewis @riedelcastro @omerlevy_ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2110.04374 1/4
