Foundations of Mathematics

Hi everyone,

 

a brief update: Due to travel, I expect that the results of the exam will be announced by Feb 18th.

 

Grades will directly be entered in LSF. The number of points should also be visible in CMS.

 

You can come view your exam:

Thanks for your patience, best wishes,

Michael

Hi everyone,

 

on Monday, we will do a revision session where everyone can ask questions about the material.

 

The exam will be next Friday 12:15-13:45.

The exam will be closed-books, but everyone can bring 1 A4 sheet of paper with any kind of content and use it during the exam.

 

Best wishes,

Michael

Hi all,

 

here is some background material on transformers:

 

• The authoritative reference is Vaswani et al 2017 https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
• The Induction Head construction we discussed on Monday originates in this influential blog post: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2022/in-context-learning-and-induction-heads/index.html
• The First function we discussed on Monday is considered in Chiang & Cholak 2022: https://aclanthology.org/2022.acl-long.527/
• Tomorrow, I'd like to discuss the PARITY function and State Space Models. Relevant references are: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.09963 , https://neurips.cc/virtual/2024/poster/94264 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.12537

 

Also, please evaluate the class, if you have not yet done so. The link is: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=151774&p=87s328 It will go offline next week.

 

See you tomorrow,

Hi everyone,

 

if you have not done so, please evaluate the class at: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=151774&p=87s328 . The link will become inactive in the last week of January, so please try to do it before then.

I'd appreciate if everyone could take the time to fill this brief survey. Thank you!

 

See you on Monday & hope you're enjoying the weekend,

Michael

Hi everyone,

 

I have uploaded a collection of Linear Algebra Exercises at

https://cms.sic.saarland/fof_math_ss2425/dl/6/Linear_Algebra_Exercises.pdf

You can also access it under "Materials" in CMS.

 

We will discuss these in class on Decmber 6th.

 

Best wishes,

Michael
