This week I began a new role as Science Writer at the (very new!) Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural & Artificial Intelligence at Harvard. Kempner Institute at Harvard University I'm also teaching intro to comp neuro at BU this semester, so it's going to be a busy+stimulating few months!

I'm thrilled to announce Harvard's annual Prospective PhD and RA Event in Psychology (PPREP)! A two-day informational and mentoring event. See details: psychology.fas.harvard.edu/pprep

the lesson for me: start in simple experiments but don't STAY there or your theory may never get less wrong richer, more naturalistic experiments expose more of the behavior and neural activity of the organism we care about this allows our theory to better capture reality

do large-scale vision models represent the 3D structure of objects? excited to share our benchmark: multiview object consistency in humans and image models (MOCHI) with Stephanie Fu Yutong Bai Thomas O'Connell Yoni Friedman Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] Josh Tenenbaum and Alexei Efros 1/👀

it really was a phenomenal, inspiring, field-unifying talk really refreshing to encourage the union of bayesian and RL cog sci theory really inspiring to think about how theories of __care__ are missing from the literature highly recommend

Some CVPR 2025 new policies: 1. Submitters must review 2. Terrible reviewers will have their submissions rejected 3. Authors may not submit over 25 papers Reasonable policies, but the fact that the ML community has gotten to the point where any are required is embarrassing

I mean no disrespect to any of the authors in this thread but the claims being made are wild and/or taken out of context. The AgentClinic dataset is based on an online dataset (read contamination) I helped create, from a resource aimed at helping medical students study for the

Lots of updates recently in the Concordia github repo (github.com/google-deepmin…), getting ready for the NeurIPS contest to begin this week!

We are thrilled to welcome Yohan J. John to our team!

re: Scientific American's endorsement of Kamala Harris for president I wish I saw more scientists grappling with the tradeoffs at stake here. In fact, a 2023 paper found that the journal Nature's endorsement of Joe Biden 1. "caused large reductions in stated trust in Nature

Thrilled to be a faculty for a 3-month program in the Mathematics of Intelligence at Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics/IPAM at UCLA. 1 week in I've given 3 tutorials & had a working group meeting. I have an office at IPAM, let's grab lunch & chat! ipam.ucla.edu/programs/long-…

Easiest way to get up to speed on training language models. 1. Understand fine-web-edu creation in detail 2. Understand torchtitan code base Congrats, you're better off than 90% of folks in the field today

Unless you are an OpenAI employee working on improving their products, I don’t understand why such efforts are science. Why are we (question to faculty) spending taxpayer dollars in doing QA for a closed product by a well-capitalized company that does not give back to science?

10 years ago I set out to learn DeepRL to power theories of human learning 1 year I got my phd in DeepRL and started human modelling work (finally!) Monday I finished infrastructure for easy comparison of DeepRL algos and human behavior I have to say, wow is this is fun!!

Exciting news🎉 We're now accepting applications for CBS-NTT postdoc fellows in the Physics of Intelligence at Harvard (rb.gy/gs7z3r) Join our vibrant interdisciplinary community at Harvard to shape this exciting emerging field together! Link below:

📢 It's that time of the year again! The School of Computer Science at University of Sydney is hiring, with multiple tenure-track positions. All areas of CS welcome, with a specific focus on Systems, PL, ML, and Quantum Computing (link next tweet) Please share, retweet, and get in touch!

Since we are doing “are PhD students miserable” discourse again, a reminder that you can avoid this by: - picking a supportive supervisor - not entering uncertain funding situations - only joining if it’s a subject you’re obsessed with Don’t take a bad job, don’t join a bad PhD
