In memory of Tali.

Ballistic deposition with memory: A new universality class of surface growth with a new scaling law, Ahmed Roman, Ruomin Zhu, and Ilya Nemenman Ilya Nemenman Ahmed Roman #NonlinearDynamics #StatisticalPhysics go.aps.org/3APPh6h

And it's out elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… Peer review was very pleasant and useful -- we now believe that our model can explaining a lot more than one subtype of T2D! More to come!

Thank you for your support, NSF-Simons NITMB

Some of our thoughts on efficiency of various dimensionality reduction schemes, linear cases for now.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

This makes me quite excited!

Given the current trends, I think ChatGPT should get the literature Nobel prize

This award is very hard to respond to. I have received many hundred congratulatory notes, from former students, post-docs, Princeton University juniors and seniors, funding agencies and foundations, authors, signature collectors, amateurs, elementary school neural network

Join the Department of Physics this Wednesday for a talk about the recent Physics Nobel Prize for foundational work on artificial neural networks. Details: bit.ly/3ZcIQUI

Long-time in the making, with Nic Vega group. Bacteria in the gut interact with each other and the host, it seems

This one is quite interesting. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… It turns out that even a single microbe inside a host (C. elegans) is not governed by simple logistic growth, but the population exhibits bistability. With Nic Vega lab

Many have heard about Marchenko-Pastur distribution for eigenvalues of empirical covariance matrices with uncorrelated entries. We now calculate its equivalent for singular values of empirical cross-correlations between two uncorrelated data sets. arxiv.org/abs/2502.05254

This paper started in about 2012 with David visiting Emory. Thinking takes time. So does procrastination.

Academia easily could have persisted as an institutional setting where everyone *happens* to lean left, with surrounding society broadly accepting that as an eccentric feature—not unlike tweed jacket and armpatches and pipe—if the profession had stayed out of the interpartisan

What's wrong with the feds' demands of Harvard University? Among other things, the university would be required to: - Abolish ideological litmus tests in hiring and admissions practices and take steps to ensure viewpoint diversity in the faculty and student body. How Harvard can take

A generative model integrates statistically dependent mixing of latent features and computes sample-sample correlations in large data, like natural images, to capture a wider range of hidden data structures. Read the paper: go.aps.org/442r4F0

Of all the bad things in the next year’s budget, i think that destruction of American science will have the most profound effect on the future of this country.

We don't always do biophysics. Paper on studying dusty plasmas in collaboration with Justin Burton is out! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
