Some basic spellcheck would be helpful (it’s in wrong place, “parallize” missing el etc)

Thanks for such helpful feedback. Will ensure that is done next time!

Wow this has a lot of great distillation in it. I am always impressed with CMU output.

Anyone know what utility author is using for diagramming? Or what Flueret used here https://fleuret.org/public/lbdl.pdf ?

Francois Flueret primarily used TikZ, going by several TikZ queries over past few months on Twitter.

Author here, I designed most diagrams in Google Slides

Excellent work. Could you share some of those slides?

Great write up. There were a few grammatical errors - I’d suggest piping it through a LLM prompted to find grammar errors :-)

Another area of interesting research is the use of transformer like models for highly dimensional time series prediction. While language and vision are interesting and have their uses, my opinion is the application of these techniques for multidimensional non linear effects in time series may ultimately have more broad and significant impact. Ex:

Thank you for the great feedback. I will correct grammar.

Admittedly, I am biased to ward visual language and close modalities, and that made miss works happening elsewhere like time series. I will check that out and can potentially add a pointer to the paper you shared. Thanks a bunch :-)
