The core problem was familiar: engagement signals (InMail Sends/Accepts) measure interest, not qualification fit. The principled fix was a supervision flywheel — product policy encoded into an Expert Judge, a scalable reasoning-based tea…

First time doing AI video generation end-to-end during an internal LinkedIn hackathon — and it was way more “filmmaking” than I expected.
I also caught myself slipping into Lean Startup mode for customer validation — quick iterations, real user reactions. Honestly, it reminded me of the good old startup days. Check out the generated video samples:

Large-scale retrieval once required elaborate ANN indexes — HNSW, IVFPQ, PQ-compressed graphs — because scanning billions of vectors exactly seemed impractical. That assumption has flipped in the last two years. Commodity A100/H100/H200 GPUs now perform flat matrix-multiplication over > 100 M embeddings in only a few milliseconds while still honoring business-facet filters. In effect, it is cheaper to …

Since September 2024, it has powered the most member experience in job recommendations and search. A strong example of thoughtful ML system design, it may be particularly relevant for ML/AI practitioners.

This ability was recognized by Sam Altman, CEO of Open.ai, as key for the GPT4 breakthrough.
Covering the bleeding edge research, he introduced Hyena, a model that uses convolutional filters and gates to achieve near-l…

1. They employ online learning motivated by non-stationary data
• The model is trained with a single sequential pass through all data + progressive validation
• Importance sampling to emphasize recent examples

It is the completion of his statistical learning theory aka VC-theory developed in 70s (Vapnik is 85yo!). Unfairly it caught less attention in the community than fancy tricks with Transformers.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @ai_review. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
