The talk for our work on Retrospective Learning from Interactions, which will be in ACL (once I figure out how to squeeze it shorter) Gist: autonomous post-training from conversational signals for LLM bootstrapping ... look ma, no annotations! 🙌📈🚀 youtube.com/watch?v=qW8S30…

We do physics and maths and shit also @arxiv
The future is published on arXiv and bioRxiv and it's available for everyone to read. There is such amazing and intoxicating progress happening all the time - and not just with LLMs but with the supporting and adjacent systems.
One, two, three, we have a hat-trick of Euro Cup wins! Lithuania, Latvia, and now Ukraine have been conquered. We remain top of the table on 9 points, with just a clash against Poland to come tomorrow. Can we create history and win Iceland's first ever trophy in cricket?
arXiv has been awarded the prestigious Jocelyn Bell Burnell Inspiration Medal! 🏅✨ This great honor is awarded by the European Astronomical Society to recognize astronomers whose contributions have gone beyond scientific research. More on the blog: blog.arxiv.org/2025/07/10/arx…
🗓️ The June 2025 arXiv articles are now in ar5iv. This month we passed 2.5 million processable sources (arXiv IDs) available via bulk download. Large latexml upgrades are getting finalized this summer - and a v0.9 release. A full update of ar5iv will follow.
🗓️The May 2025 arXiv articles are now in ar5iv.
Fun fact: We may be on track for 1 TB size in combined article sources for arXiv's 2025 submissions.
That strange feeling when dark mode styling bugs are scientific integrity wins.
日経の記事のLLMプロンプトの論文見つけた。 アブストにめっちゃ小さく入ってるからソース見るか、htmlで見ないと分からん。けど、htmlなら一発で分かる。 arxiv.org/abs/2406.17241
77 years ago this week Claude Shannon ushered in the field of information theory with his paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," which has been cited over 100,000 times: bit.ly/44rfByX
