@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyBad news on climate: the March average of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa was 425.4 ppm, a massive 4.4 ppm higher than in March of last year.
The cause: record high global emissions, probably combined with an El Niño effect.

The fantasy list was led by Terry Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara, Piers Anthony’s A Spell for Chameleon, and Stephen Donaldson’s Lord Foul’s Bane. All sold massively, with Brooks’ book reaching No. 2 on Publishers Weekly’s trade paperback bestseller list. (The science fiction line also contributed to Del Rey’s instant success, thanks in large part to Judy-Lynn’s snapping up novelization rights for Star Wars, which sold nearly 4 million copies that year alone.)“

https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19733 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.19733
arXiv:2404.19733v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Iterative preference optimization methods have recently been shown to perform well for general instruction tuning tasks, but typically make little improvement on reasoning tasks (Yuan et al., 2024, Chen et al., 2024). In this work we develop an iterative approach that optimizes the preference between competing generated Chain-of-Thought (CoT) candidates by optimizing for winning vs. losing reasoning steps that lead to the correct answer. We train using a modified DPO loss (Rafailov et al., 2023) with an additional negative log-likelihood term, which we find to be crucial. We show reasoning improves across repeated iterations of this scheme. While only relying on examples in the training set, our approach results in increasing accuracy for Llama-2-70B-Chat from 55.6% to 81.6% on GSM8K (and 88.7% with majority voting out of 32 samples), from 12.5% to 20.8% on MATH, and from 77.8% to 86.7% on ARC-Challenge, which outperforms other Llama-2-based models not relying on additionally sourced datasets.
