Colorization APIs are becoming widespread; AI-colorized historical photos are circulated without caveat. But is AI colorization providing an accurate image of the past? To find out, I digitally desaturated these color photos by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, taken between 1909 and 1915.

I JUST CAME ACROSS THE MOST ADORABLE PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HAD TO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!!


She is one of the reasons I came back to Google.

Why does L1 regularization induce sparse models? Many illustrate this using the least squares problem with a norm constraint. The least squares level sets are drawn next to the different unit "circles". I prepared a cool animation which I believe makes it even clearer 🙂

This year Berkeley is virtually hosting the Rising Stars in EECS, an academic job search workshop for women. Please circulate widely and encourage senior female-identifying students and postdocs to apply, the deadline is 9/7! eecs.berkeley.edu/about/special-…

Sometimes technology hurts people precisely because it *doesn't* work & sometimes it hurts people because it *does* work. Facial recognition is both. When it *doesn't* work, people get misidentified, locked out, etc. But even when it *does*, it's invasive & still unsafe.

Fair representation in the data and the model doesn't negate unfair representation in use, and even if it did, is that a good thing? To quote Agre: "Face recognition will work well enough to be dangerous, and poorly enough to be dangerous as well."

Thank you @AuthorsAnswer for the opportunity to think about these questions. I had fun. I wonder if @ABearPursuesMe remembers this conversation. @HachetteUS @QMHistory

people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bmild/fourfeat We figured out why the "positional encoding" used in NeRF works so well! NTK theory says that using an MLP with a Fourier basis yields a composed kernel that is good at interpolating (as per basic signal processing). Excited to see what people do with this

Luckily, my team at Apple is still hiring. We work on 3D Reconstruction Algs and the #LiDAR sensor for #ARKit. We're looking for senior #cplusplus developers with experience in architecture design and high-performance compute. Experience with 3D, AR, or GPU is nice, not required

Want to see the true potential impact of ignoring social distancing? Through a partnership with @xmodesocial, we analyzed secondary locations of anonymized mobile devices that were active at a single Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break. This is where they went across the US:

A sobering summary of the recent Imperial College report analyzing various COVID-19 scenarios.

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong. imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial…

This stunner of a brilliant comedienne and friend from postdoc is remarkable in every context! Creative ideas with the know-how, ethics, and dedication to bring them to reality. She's an ultimate co-founder.

What the what?! I'm in the running for the Multiplier of the Year Award (nominated by my #neuralink colleagues)! moy.thewisemangroup.com/vote Would love your vote and support!

Me, writing an email: I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!

When I say, stop telling women to say sorry less, and start telling men to say sorry more - THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. Hear hear, @ruthwhippman @nytopinion @nytimes nytimes.com/2019/10/10/opi… #changetheratio
