The Illusion of Thinking

This week Warren and Terry will discuss the Apple paper "The Illusion of Thinking" which analyzes how Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) work, and discuss the paper's comment, "... While these models demonstrate improved performance on reasoning benchmarks, their fundamental capabilities, scaling properties, and limitations remain insufficiently understood"

The paper can be found at https://ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-illusion-of-thinking.pdf

Every week we meet (virtually) and discuss the most interesting topics in AI, ML, and Deep Learning.

We usually rotate weeks so that every other week one of the members presents a deep learning/machine learning paper, frequently paired with a video explaining the concepts. In the off weeks, we present information about different projects. We cover computer vision, language (LLM's), health/hard science, and generative models (Diffusion, GAN's, etc.).

People of all levels of skill are welcome--from newbies to machine learning, to PhD's in DL/ML/AI.

We have been meeting for over 6 years weekly and have developed a neat pace and community--and all are welcome. Come join us and stay abreast of the biggest topics in Artificial Intelligence.
