Intro to Large Language Models

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhNj_g

This is a 1 hour general-audience introduction to Large Language Models: the core technical component behind systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Bard. What they are, where they are headed, comparisons and analogies to present-day operating systems, and some of the security-related challenges of this new computing paradigm.
As of November 2023 (this field moves fast!).

Context: This video is based on the slides of a talk I gave recently at the AI Security Summit. The talk was not recorded but a lot of people came to me after and told me they liked it. Seeing as I had already put in one long weekend of work to make the slides, I decided to just tune them a bit, record this round 2 of the talk and upload it here on YouTube. Pardon the random background, that's my hotel room during the thanksgiving break

Matrix Calculus For Machine Learning And Beyond

This class covers a coherent approach to matrix calculus showing techniques that allow you to think of a matrix holistically (not just as an array of scalars), generalize and compute derivatives of important matrix factorizations and many other complicated-looking operations, and understand how differentiation formulas must be reimagined in large-scale computing.

Critical phenomena in complex networks: from scale-free to random networks

Within the conventional statistical physics framework, we study critical phenomena in configuration network models with hidden variables controlling links between pairs of nodes. We obtain analytical expressions for the average node degree, the expected number of edges in the graph, and the Landau and Helmholtz free energies. We demonstrate that the network’s temperature controls the average node degree in the whole network. We also show that phase transition in an asymptotically sparse network leads to fundamental structural changes in the network topology. Below the critical temperature, the graph is completely disconnected; above the critical temperature, the graph becomes connected, and a giant component appears. Increasing temperature changes the degree distribution from power-degree for lower temperatures to a Poisson-like distribution for high temperatures. Our findings suggest that temperature might be an inalienable property of real networks.
