I wrote about science cuts and my family's immigration story as part of The McClintock Letters organized by
@cornellasap.bsky.social
. Haven't yet placed it in a Houston-based newspaper but hopefully it's useful here

New work 🎉: conformal classifiers return sets of classes for each example, with a probabilistic guarantee the true class is included. But these sets can be too large to be useful. In our
#CVPR2025
paper, we propose a method to make them more compact without sacrificing coverage.

The US government recently flagged my scientific grant in its "woke DEI database". Many people have asked me what I will do. My answer today in Nature. We will not be cowed. We will keep using AI to build a fairer, healthier world.

My ‘woke DEI’ grant has been flagged for scrutiny. Where do I go from here?
My work in making artificial intelligence fair has been noticed by US officials intent on ending ‘class warfare propaganda’.

Migration data lets us study responses to environmental disasters, social change patterns, policy impacts, etc. But public data is too coarse, obscuring these important phenomena! We build MIGRATE: a dataset of yearly flows between 47 billion pairs of US Census Block Groups. 1/5

💡New preprint & Python package: We use sparse autoencoders to generate hypotheses from large text datasets. Our method, HypotheSAEs, produces interpretable text features that predict a target variable, e.g. features in news headlines that predict engagement. 🧵1/
