Thinking of coming to Newy for ACNS 2024? Submission deadline has been extended to midnight 30 August AEST mers.cventevents.com/event/ACNS2024…

Can AI agents design better AI agents? We describe a newly forming research area "Automated Design of Agentic Systems" (ADAS) that aims to automatically design powerful agents & a new method where a meta agent invents new agents by programming them in code. Led by Shengran Hu 🧵

Awesome new work by Dr Philip Mosley ! Combining facial video analysis and fMRI analysis with hidden Markov models to understand the unique features of melancholic depression

I've combined some of these together into a new #neuro #visualization "In the eye of a fly": Using the FlyWire visual system wiring diagram, #Brian2 spiking #neuron simulator, and #blender. Information flow through the chiasms, across a topographic map.

Wow

Wow. Most recent openAI model o3 smashes the prev leaderboard for ARC-AGI reasoning challenge. It is also now the 175th best coder in the world (CodeForces challenge), and can solve 25% of hard-for-humans FrontierMath Qs (up from 2%). What does this all mean?

In markets, there are price bubbles. In science, are there popularity bubbles? When promising research gets hyped up, it can lead to a burst of activity followed by a dramatic collapse, shows huge bibliometric study nature Magazine l.sslevine.com/Ex7z

Amazing paper !
