Humans easily recognize new objects in unseen poses, but can CNNs? Our work in Nature Machine Intelligence explores when and how CNNs generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) category-viewpoint combinations, and the neural mechanism driving generalization: rdcu.be/cHynz.

Amazing work on the foundations of how language is represented in the human brain!

Initial steps towards understanding how the brain processes language. Graduate student Pranav Misra discovered a remarkably invariant representation of parts of speech in the human brain. See article here: klab.tch.harvard.edu/publications/P…

A History of the World in 13 Short Poems: 1. Sappho, sometimes called the Tenth Muse, was an Ancient Greek poet who lived in the 6th century BC. All we have left of her work are incomplete, tantalising fragments. Fragment 147 I tell you someone will remember us in the future.…

First research paper (preprint) from the lab🙌 Work with @stothe2 We explore the cell-type specific variances in the “linking hypotheses” relating IT cortex and object recognition behavior.Most ANN representations are a bit more like Exc than Inh neurons. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Approach only used the turning technique that is not novel. Lack novelty. Strong Reject. #NeurIPS

Adjusting your paper within the word limit

3% of Britons have “never heard” of the United States.

New data point for why a war on woke might not have the cut through proponents assume. Despite a barrage of criticism for the National Trust for ‘going woke’ - 72% of Brits say it is a force for good, just 7% a force for bad. A higher net good score than the Royal British Legion

Here's an animation of a @PyTorch DataLoader. It turns your dataset into a shuffled, batched tensors iterator. (This is my first animation using @manim_community, the community fork of @3blue1brown's manim) Here's a little summary of the different parts for those curious: 1/5

In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18


Reject, Revise, Resubmit, (Rinse &) Repeat.

Final year of a PhD be like twitter.com/Enezator/statu…



Thrilled to announce I have no clue what LLAMA-2 is, and absolutely no clue why every tweet advertises # of Billion Parameters.
