Monte Carlo For Physicists

This is another physics-centered podcast, about an ML-backed particle identification tool that we use to figure out what kind of particle caused a particular blob in the detector. But in this case, as in many cases, it looks hard at the outset to use ML because we don't have labeled training data. Monte Carlo to the rescue! Monte Carlo (MC) is fake data that we generate for ourselves, usually following certain sets of rules (often a Markov chain; in physics we generate MC according to the laws of physics as we understand them) and since you generated the event, you "know" what the correct label is. Of course, it's a lot of work to validate your MC, but the payoff is that then you can use Machine Learning where you never could before.

KV Cache Fundamentals

KV Cache Fundamentals

The unsung hero of every LLM conversation you've ever had? A clever optimization called the KV cache. Self-attention is computationally brutal — every token attending to every other token means costs ...

AI Inference 101

Everyone talks about training the model — the data, the compute, the alignment magic. But what happens after the weights are frozen and millions of users start hammering it with prompts? That's infere...

Mechanistic Interpretability: How Researchers Try To See Inside Models

Mechanistic Interpretability: How Researchers Try To See Inside Models

As AI systems grow more powerful, they grow harder to understand — and that tradeoff has never mattered more. Most interpretability tricks give us approximations from the outside, but mechanistic inte...

LLM As A Judge

LLM As A Judge

Labeled data is expensive, slow, and painfully hard to come by — and when you're trying to evaluate whether an AI workflow is actually doing what you want, the problem gets even messier. How do you ju...

The Impact of AI on Podcasting (Harvard Data Science Review Cross-Post)

The Impact of AI on Podcasting (Harvard Data Science Review Cross-Post)

Originally aired on the Harvard Data Science Review podcast. What can podcasting teach us about AI — and what can AI teach us about the future of podcasting? Katie Malone (that's our host) joins Jon ...

Better Know A Benchmark: ExploitGym

When OpenAI's frontier models were caught hacking Hugging Face's servers, most people assumed they were hunting for answer keys. The real story is stranger and more unsettling. Katie and Phoebe unpack...
