Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

#LegalNLP (1/n)

Are you interested in word lengths and natural language’s efficiency? If yes, our new #EMNLP2023 paper has everything you need: drama, suspense, a new derivation of Zipf’s law, an update to Piantadosi et al’s classic word length paper, transformers... 🧵

Modeling the interaction between tokens is vital to NLP. It takes quadratic time—every pair of tokens needs to be compared.
Our #EMNLP2023 paper shows that, by casting this problem as sorting, this complexity can be reduced to linear—just like you can sort n numbers in O(n).

Gemini Ultra so big I can't download the PDF on airplane wifi 😭

This looks pretty wild! I wonder how well would it work for legal case retrieval? WDYT NLLP Workshop
