I'm Not Schizophrenic

I'm not schizophrenic, I'm not schizophrenic, I'm not schizophrenic January 22, 2020 WHO's International Health Regulation Emergency Committee meets and decides to not declare the 2019 Novel Coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Instead, the committee decides to monitor the situation and reconvene in 10 days to re-evaluate. January 23, 2020 Wuhan, China—a city with 11 million people—is placed under lockdown due to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak. January 24, 2020 CDC confirms a travel-related infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Illinois, bringing the total number of cases in the U.S. to two. Computer Science > Machine Learning Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish, Tom Henighan, Tom B. Brown, Benjamin Chess, Rewon Child, Scott Gray, Alec Radford, Jeffrey Wu, Dario Amodei We study empirical scaling laws for language model performance on the cross-entropy loss. The loss scales as a power-law with model size, dataset size, and the amount of compute used for training, with some trends spanning more than seven orders of magnitude. Other architectural details such as network width or depth have minimal effects within a wide range. Simple equations govern the dependence of overfitting on model dataset size and characterize the optimal allocation of compute between model size and amount of training data. ... Busting into a party and manically telling the first girl I see: Did you know that OpenAI published the scaling laws paper on the same day that Wuhan first went into lockdown on January 23, 2020

A social media post repeats “I'm not schizophrenic” while showing the dates of the Wuhan lockdown and OpenAI's “Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models” paper. The follow-up joke imagines someone bursting into a party to excitedly reveal this obscure coincidence, parodying manic conspiracy-style oversharing and the tendency to connect unrelated events.
