Help me understand a phrase that is so common in academia: telling someone that something positive that happened is "well deserved" . You feel that it's:

📢Submissions for #CCN2024 are now open at ccneuro.org! 📢 We welcome submissions for 2-page papers (deadline: 12 April) and Generative Adversarial Collaborations (GACs), Keynote+Tutorials, and (new this year!) Community Events (deadline: 5 April).

I'm seeing more & more people use partial correlation during model comparison to identify the contribution of a model to prediction *after controlling* for other models. However, the correct approach is *not* to use partial correlation. A brief explanation. 🧵 1/n

Please retweet! I am excited to share that I am looking for motivated postdocs who want to come and work with me at NYU (please apply here: apply.interfolio.com/145544)🧵⬇️ (1/3)

Excited for this important discussion on LLMs and brains!

Our work on a one-to-one mapping between deep network units and neurons in the fruit fly visual system is published! dynamic stimuli, interesting behavior, a full connectome, deep networks---it's an exciting time to be fruit fly modeling! nature.com/articles/s4158… nature

Now hiring: Three PhD students and one postdoc, as part of a research team of ~30, combining neural and symbolic/interpretable models of language, vision, action, and ML. Work with advisors at Universität Saarland, MPI Informatics, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, CISPA, DFKI. Details: neuroexplicit.org/jobs/

New position paper accepted at #ICML2024! 💻🧠 "An Inner Interpretability Framework for AI Inspired by Lessons from Cognitive Neuroscience" We show how many of the problems/discussions in the AI Inner Interpretability field are similar to those in Cognitive Neuroscience (1/2)

Excited to share our latest work re understanding reasons behind brain-LLM alignment, led by subbareddy @ ACL-2024 and now published at #ACL2024!

Congrats Ruchit!! Helpful work towards understanding how a language model changes after some perturbation (e.g. training on more data, diff objective, etc)

Had a fantastic time at the #NeuroAI symposium hosted by UvA Amsterdam! Thank you Iris Groen @[email protected] and Steven scholte for bringing us together! Great science and great wine, what more can you ask for🍷

Can you use LLMs to replace crowdworkers in NLP evaluations? My amazing collaborators and I analyzed this broadly. Answer: Sometimes LLMs correlate very well with human judgments, but you can't rely on it.

I’ll be presenting this work next week at #ICML👇 Come by or send a DM if you are interested in discussing these topics in Vienna! 📌 Hall C 4-9 #3004 🕜 Tuesday, July 23rd, at 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 pm CEST

Starting #CogSci2024 strong with an eye opening keynote by Morgan Barense! Very surprising strong effect of emotion on organization of episodic memories

#CogNeuro seeks unified theories of behavioral, physiological, and mental states. To this aim, our Nature Neuroscience Perspective proposes a new framework centered on #TaskDemands & across-task generalization. nature.com/articles/s4159… w/Alexandra C Schmid Simon Kaplan Chris Baker D.Kravitz🧵

We're hiring postdocs and PhD students in ML for neuroscience. Join our lab in Göttingen, Germany, and be part of an exciting international network! eckerlab.org/applications/

This was one of the main reasons I chose to do a PhD at MPI-SWS. You dont have to book travel and any reimbursements are done within 1 week. And you get paid well enough to be able to save a lot!! Lack of financial stress is a huge thing when doing a PhD.

👋I am on the academic job market, looking for tenure-track positions. I work on machine learning, decision making, and social aspects of AI. Let's get in touch if your institution is hiring! 💻stsirtsis.github.io 😀Shares are very much appreciated!
