The Rise Of ‘Adaptive’ Applications
Adrian Bridgwater for Forbes
DECEMBER 3, 2023
Applications are changing. So much so that we use the term ‘adaptive applications’ to define apps that are in some way more changeable and chameleonic in their nature.

Generating Molecular Conformers with Manifold Diffusion Fields
Machine Learning Research at Apple
DECEMBER 3, 2023
This paper was accepted at Generative AI and Biology workshop at NeurIPS 2023. In this paper we tackle the problem of generating a molecule conformation in 3D space given its 2D structure. We approach this problem through the lens of a diffusion model for functions in Riemannian Manifolds. Our approach is simple and scalable, and obtains results that are on par with state-of-the-art while making no assumptions about the explicit structure of molecules.

DECEMBER 3, 2023
A decade ago to the day, I published a tweet launching what would surely become yet another pet project that scratched an itch, was kinda useful to a few people but other than that, would shortly fade away into the same obscurity as all the other ones I'd launched over the previous couple of decades: It's alive! "Have I been pwned?" by @troyhunt is now up and running.

Fast Optimal Locally Private Mean Estimation via Random Projections
Machine Learning Research at Apple
DECEMBER 3, 2023
We study the problem of locally private mean estimation of high-dimensional vectors in the Euclidean ball. Existing algorithms for this problem either incur sub-optimal error or have high communication and/or run-time complexity. We propose a new algorithmic framework, ProjUnit, for private mean estimation that yields algorithms that are computationally efficient, have low communication complexity, and incur optimal error up to a 1+o(1)-factor.

Manifold Diffusion Fields
Machine Learning Research at Apple
DECEMBER 3, 2023
This paper was accepted at the Diffusion Models workshop at NeurIPS 2023. Score-based models have quickly become the de facto choice for generative modeling of images, text and more recently molecules. However, to adapt a score-based generative modeling to these domains the score network needs to be carefully designed, hampering its applicability to arbitrary data domains.
GPT-4 Can Almost Perfectly Handle Unnatural Scrambled Text
Hacker News
DECEMBER 3, 2023
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance in many tasks, much about their inner workings remains unclear. In this study, we present novel experimental insights into the resilience of LLMs, particularly GPT-4, when subjected to extensive character-level permutations. To investigate this, we first propose the Scrambled Bench, a suite designed to measure the capacity of LLMs to handle scrambled input, in terms of both recovering scrambled sentences and answering questi
15 Modern Use Cases for Enterprise Business Intelligence

Pre-trained Language Models Do Not Help Auto-regressive Text-to-Image Generation
Machine Learning Research at Apple
DECEMBER 3, 2023
This paper was accepted at the workshop I Can’t Believe It’s Not Better! (ICBINB) at NeurIPS 2023. Recent advances in image tokenizers, such as VQ-VAE, have enabled text-to-image generation using auto-regressive methods, similar to language modeling. However, these methods have yet to leverage pre-trained language models, despite their adaptability to various downstream tasks.
