Improve Vision Language Model Chain-of-thought Reasoning

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in vision language models (VLMs) is crucial for improving interpretability and trustworthiness. However, current training recipes often relying on datasets dominated by short annotations with minimal rationales. In this work, we show that training VLM on short answers leads to poor generalization on reasoning tasks that require more detailed explanations.

Cysteine depletion triggers adipose tissue thermogenesis and weight loss

Hacker News

Caloric restriction and methionine restriction-driven enhanced lifespan and healthspan induces ‘browning’ of white adipose tissue, a metabolic response that increases heat production to defend core body temperature. However, how specific dietary amino acids control adipose thermogenesis is unknown. Here, we identified that weight loss induced by caloric restriction in humans reduces thiol-containing sulfur amino acid cysteine in white adipose tissue.

RLHF 101: A Technical Tutorial on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

ML @ CMU

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a popular technique used to align AI systems with human preferences by training them using feedback from people, rather than relying solely on predefined reward functions. Instead of coding every desirable behavior manually (which is often infeasible in complex tasks) RLHF allows models, especially large language models (LLMs), to learn from examples of what humans consider good or bad outputs.
