My 2025 TED talk: The hidden logic of human harmony (Steven Pinker | TED2025) go.ted.com/gxxUz via TED Talks

A Deep Dive into RL for LLM Reasoning. uts through the confusion around RL tricks for LLM reasoning and gives clear, experimentally backed rules on what actually works and when. A simple recipe, group mean + batch std normalization plus token‑level loss, makes critic‑free PPO

Great to collaborate and coauthor this with you!

BeyondMimic: From Motion Tracking to Versatile Humanoid Control via Guided Diffusion Project: beyondmimic.github.io Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.08241 This project shows videos on amazing agile and versatile humanoid whole-body motion surpassing prior works, so it’s worthwhile to

Finding an ML summer school has never been easier Here is a GitHub repo with a comprehensive list, with 50+ ML summer (and winter) schools all over the world (link in comments) Some of them are even free, few even offer scholarship so you don't have to pay absolutely anything

This is the best version of this i have seen anywhere. Incredibly impressive work and everyone should read it carefully and more than once
