🩻Excited to share our latest preprint: “Data Scaling Laws for Radiology Foundation Models” Foundation vision encoders like CLIP and DINOv2 have transformed general computer vision, but what happens when we scale them for medical imaging? 📄 Read the full preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2509.12818

What a damning abstract

I want to reshare @brandfonbrener.bsky.social's @NeurIPSConf 2024 paper on CoLoR-Filter: A simple yet powerful method for selecting high-quality data for language model pre-training! With @hlzhang109.bsky.social @schwarzjn.bsky.social @shamkakade.bsky.social

⚫⚪ It's coming...SHADES. ⚪⚫ The first ever resource of multilingual, multicultural, and multigeographical stereotypes, built to support nuanced LLM evaluation and bias mitigation. We have been working on this around the world for almost **4 years** and I am thrilled to share it with you all soon.

We’re looking for a motivated researcher to apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoc with our Econometrics & Data Science group at SDU! Focus: Causal Inference, Machine Learning, Big Data Full support for promising projects More info & apply: www.sdu.dk/en/om-sdu/in...

Apply! Assistant Professor (L/SL) in AI, including computer vision [DL 5 Mar] @BristolUni - awarded AI University of the Year in 2024. DM to myself or @_SethBullock_ for inquiries (don't us send CV pls!, apply directly) www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

🎓 💫 We are opening post-doc positions at the intersection of AI, data science, and medicine: • Large Language Models for French medical texts • Evaluating digital medical devices: statistics and causal inference

If you name your AI benchmark "Humanity's Last Exam" and get Kevin Roose to gush about it, you work in advertising, not in computer science. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

Happy to announce a collaboration with the Mayo Clinic to advance our research in radiology report generation! newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/m... Tagging some of the core team: @valesalvatelli.bsky.social @fepegar.com @maxilse.bsky.social @sambondtaylor.bsky.social @anton-sc.bsky.social

The video of our talk "From Augustus to #Trump – Why #Disinformation Remains a Problem and What We Can Do About It Anyway" at #38c3, Europe's largest Hacker conference, was published, including the German original and English and Spanish translations: media.ccc.de/v/38c3-von-a...

Internship in our group at Mila in reinforcement learning + graphs for reducing energy use in buildings. More info and submit an application by Jan 13 here: forms.gle/TCChXnvSAHqz... Questions? Email [email protected] with [intern!] in the subject line.

Dear computer vision researchers, students & practitioners🔇🔇🔇 Remi Denton & I have written what I consider to be a comprehensive paper on the harms of computer vision systems reported to date & how people have proposed addressing them, from different angles. PDF: cdn.sanity.io/files/wc2kmx...

Kudos to @blackhc.bsky.social for calling out this neurips oral: openreview.net/forum?id=0NM... for not giving the rho-loss paper (arxiv.org/abs/2206.07137) the recognition it deserves!

In all of the reposts I see of articles criticising generative AI, I still don't see enough mention of work like Dr. Birhane's, which shows the biases against disadvantaged groups in the training datasets. This is very good.

The next generation of probabilistic machine learning for weather called GenCast is published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social today 🥳. Amazing to see the collective progress in ML for weather as a field over the last 5 years. 🏖️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the reasons the university sector has come so spectacularly off the rails is the fact it's so unfriendly to family life, people with caring responsibilities and parents. The attitude is often: 'Not working 24/7? You're not fully committed!' www.science.org/content/arti...

This is just sad

Medically adapted foundation models (think Med-*) turn out to be more hot air than hot stuff. Correcting for fatal flaws in evaluation, the current crop are no better on balance than generic foundation models, even on the very tasks for which benefits are claimed. arxiv.org/abs/2411.04118

What a surprise (not!). Yet again ... poor evaluations of specialized medical LLMs result in overhyped claims relative to the base LLMs. #bioMLeval

Even as an interpretable ML researcher, I wasn't sure what to make of Mechanistic Interpretability, which seemed to come out of nowhere not too long ago. But then I found the paper "Mechanistic?" by @nsaphra.bsky.social and @sarah-nlp.bsky.social, which clarified things.

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

Following the example of @sedielem.bsky.social I will repost some content: Our latest work is using image editing via diffusion to stress-test biomedical vision models. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2312.12865 code and model weights: huggingface.co/microsoft/ra... blog: www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

We recently published CausalPlayground, a python library for causal data generation that can easily integrate with gymnasium. I hope that this can be useful for many. Check it out on GitHub github.com/sa-and/Causa...
