The Sensory Neuron as a Transformer: Permutation-Invariant Neural Networks for Reinforcement Learning We explore RL agents that still work even when their observations get shuffled around a lot! A fun paper w/ Yujin Tang web attentionneuron.github.io pdf arxiv.org/abs/2109.02869

From logical reasoning to mental simulation, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) possess an incredible capacity for computation. To fully harness this capacity, we developed a programming language for RNNs arxiv.org/abs/2203.05032. Here is a game of pong programmed inside of an RNN.

Last but not least on Florida State University Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, we have Phil Solimine! Philip is a Ph.D./M.S. Candidate in Economics and Scientific Computing. After graduation, Phillip will join UBC Economics as a postdoctoral fellow. psolimine.net

Our new paper covers: Neural nets on eigenvectors / eigenspaces, transformers on graphs, universal approximation of invariant functions, graph positional encodings, generalizing spectral graph neural networks, and more!! Thread about SignNet and BasisNet: 1/9

This thread is a bit of an experiment: I'd like to try one of the results from the paper below as simply as possible. If you know a bit of linear algebra (what a matrix is, how to invert a matrix, what change-of-basis means), you're in the audience for this thread. 1/n

We’re hard at work on a new way to make generative art, and are excited to share our first prototype! Create any scene you can imagine with a simple collage and a prompt. Try it out! collage.artbreeder.com

Forthcoming in AEJ: Microeconomics: "Debunking Rumors in Networks" by Luca P. Merlino, Paolo Pin, and Nicole Tabasso. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

New published article on pricing in networks where we study how network topology and market structure affect firms' prices. We find that denser networks reduce prices, whereas increased competition reduces prices only when competition is weak. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I have a new working paper with Co-Pierre George about software dependency graphs. It is a cool topic and this is our first exploration of it, so comments are very welcome at this stage. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

It’s very difficult to answer the question “will the SVB collapse cause cascading failures” without adequate data on interbank lending. I know because I wrote a whole paper about it!

The year is 2033. You open Google and type "how to survive heat wave." GPT-27 reads hundreds of articles on the subject, mostly written by GPTs 4 through 26 over the preceding years, and replies "As an AI language model I have no way of knowing if there is currently a heat wave."

good day to check out other platforms!
