Intelligence is NOT about how much knowledge one has; instead, it is about mechanisms based on which one can improve its knowledge.

Just finished updating my slides for this talk. See some of you tomorrow at dinner...

Proposal for a new graduate course for HKU IDS, likely to offer in the Fall. It seems that it’s been a habit for me to develop a new course (and write a new textbook) at every university I have worked for.

Just realised that there is a blue check mark on my tweet account, although I never paid for the premium membership… It just happened automatically. ThanX!

Probably against my better judgment, have decided to prepare a new course (to be offered at HKU IDS) and write a new textbook on principles of deep representation learning. After my last book, wowed not to write another one. But this time just felt much more compelled to. Hope I…

It was quite an honor to be selected and invited as guest of honor and speaker by the HKU student residence for their annual Joint High Table Dinner, next Friday.

We have just released the final paper and code for realizing Masked Auto-Encoding (MAE) based on the white-box transformer CRATE: arxiv.org/abs/2404.02446 This work clearly reveals relationships among a few popular concepts: the roles of transformers in encoding & decoding and in…

In recent years, we have heard many sayings like 'deep network is all you need'; 'reward is all you need'; 'attend is all you need'; or now 'foundation model is all you need'. In our recent work, we try to point out the truth seems to be 'compression is all there is'. For…

A lot of people ask us who we are and why we do what we do. Today we'd like to answer those questions and are excited to share our journey with you.

We're not just talking about the future of AI, we're building it. Read on to learn more. 👇

Congratulations to Yaodong Yu Yaodong Yu for his work on white-box deep networks to receive the Leon O. Chua award for outstanding achievement in the area of nonlinear science by the EECS department of UC Berkeley!

Visited old friend Professor Laurent El Ghaoui at VinUniversity in Hanoi today. Gave a two-hour long talk and discussion to a full house of students about our recent work on transparent deep representation learning. Hope it has left some good impressions.

Cool...

Almost everyone confuses knowledge with intelligence. There’s fundamental difference between absorbing existing knowledge and discovering new one, like the difference between a student and a scientist. That is the reason why existing AI systems require good data to begin with.
