Let's not forget about PDF document accessibility. Catriona Morrison kicks off a series with the fundamentals of accessible document creation, covering the gap between web accessibility and document accessibility that most audits don't catch. This is the area where large orgs still have the biggest failures.

Introduction to creating accessible documents - TetraLogical

Digital documents and book files are a core part of our everyday communication. When documents aren’t accessible, they can exclude people with disabilities from integral learning, information, and content. Publishing accessible documents and book files ensures we can communicate the same information to people with disabilities, making this content accessible to everyone.

Self-Distillation Enables Continual Learning

Continual learning, enabling models to acquire new skills and knowledge without degrading existing capabilities, remains a fundamental challenge for foundation models. While on-policy reinforcement learning can reduce forgetting, it requires explicit reward functions that are often unavailable. Learning from expert demonstrations, the primary alternative, is dominated by supervised fine-tuning (SFT), which is inherently off-policy. We introduce Self-Distillation Fine-Tuning (SDFT), a simple method that enables on-policy learning directly from demonstrations. SDFT leverages in-context learning by using a demonstration-conditioned model as its own teacher, generating on-policy training signals that preserve prior capabilities while acquiring new skills. Across skill learning and knowledge acquisition tasks, SDFT consistently outperforms SFT, achieving higher new-task accuracy while substantially reducing catastrophic forgetting. In sequential learning experiments, SDFT enables a single model to accumulate multiple skills over time without performance regression, establishing on-policy distillation as a practical path to continual learning from demonstrations.

Как мёртвый пингвин 1d ago

J'ai une question pour les lecteurs sur liseuses. J'ai un PDF où chaque page représente deux pages de lecture (cela se voit mieux sur la capture qui accompagne le pouet). Sauf que ça manque de confort sur ma liseuse (une ancienne Kobo Aura One). Il existe des outils pour arranger ça ?
