Heute ist wieder letzter Freitag im Monat: #CriticalMass-Tag \o/
Infos u.a. auf https://criticalmass.in

I wrote up a longer post about a bike riding group and how we use the web... along with some of my own thoughts on how to do it.
Feedback and ideas are welcome!

Training Language Model to Critique for Better Refinement
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable evaluation and critique capabilities, providing insightful feedback and identifying flaws in various tasks. However, limited research has explored which types of critiques are most effective for improving model responses or how to generate such critiques. To address this gap, we introduce \textbf{R}efinement-oriented \textbf{C}ritique \textbf{O}ptimization (RCO), a novel framework designed to train critic models using refinement signals.…

It’s true that my fellow students are embracing AI – but this is what the critics aren’t seeing https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/29/students-ai-critics-chatgpt-covid-education-system?CMP=Sh…

Critically-Damped Higher-Order Langevin Dynamics
Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models represent an entirely new class of generative AI methods that have yet to be fully explored. Critical damping has been successfully introduced in Critically-Damped Langevin Dynamics (CLD) and Critically-Damped Third-Order Langevin Dynamics (TOLD++), but has not yet been applied to dynamics of arbitrary order. The proposed line of work generalizes Higher-Order Langevin Dynamics (HOLD), a recent state-of-the-art diffusion method, by introducing the concept…

Someone mentioned the "awesome" web site for Milwaukee Critical Mass, but I think they may have been taking the piss...
But honestly, I'd rather see this than an overdone 'full of shit' web site with too much.
As it is, it gives the basic info. Sometimes that's all you need.
Although (sigh) it looks like it hasn't been updated since April.
