new course just dropped: CS 312: Deep Learning Alchemy w/ @stanfordnlp ! A very interesting new class concept from @tatsu_hashimoto : - Assignments are worth 0% of the grade - 85% of your course grade is 40-minute quizzes where you get a code diff for an experiment you've never run and ask you to predict validation loss differences - The premise? that prediction == understanding. If we don't have any intuition as to the outcomes of an experiment, then it's often safe to say we don't understand it (or at least, it means we don't have beyond surface level knowledge). And also, everything is public (in the style of cs336!) (Answer to the question below in, and links 🧵)
