Exciting work to be presented at #NeurIPS2022 by my colleague @zhouyanqi30 showing nice efficiency and performance improvements for MoE through a better routing algorithm.
Introducing a novel mixture-of-experts routing algorithm, called Expert Choice, that can achieve optimal load balancing between experts while allowing heterogeneous token-to-expert mapping. Learn how it’s done at goo.gle/3OdpO9t

Honored to be an advisor to this amazing work led by @Azaliamirh and @annadgoldie
Excited to share that our work has been published in Nature! Our RL agent generates chip layouts in just a few hours, whereas human experts can take months. These superhuman AI-generated layouts were used in Google's latest AI accelerator (TPU-v5)! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Yesterday’s rioting, violence, vandalism, and looting by an unruly mob of #Seditious criminals is #AntiAmerican. They and their ringleader need to be arrested, tried by a jury of their peers, and sent to prison if found guilty. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

The USA is a nation with a long history of respecting #RuleOfLaw and the right of voters in each state to determine their federal senators, congressmen and women, and to guide the votes of their electoral college representatives.

Logged into Facebook after a long hiatus to post Happy New Year. Scrolled down my feed, where what to my wondering eyes did appear but a post by Trumpers quoting Malcolm X to argue their case. Yikes Alice, does this rabbit hole even have a bottom?

It's now the third decade of the third millennium so I thought I'd check out this new twitter thing I've been hearing so much about.
