👋 #sleeppeeps, this weekend I’ll be at the DxE simposyum at MIT to present some preliminary work at the intersection of AI and neuroscience to trace #dream event in event #EEG signal. Come say hi at the event, or drop a line if you’re in the Boston area and wanna chat 😀 dxe.framer.website

All the models are back online, and the full paper should be out soon too 😃 huggingface.co/collections/... #sleeppees #dream

Unserious post: Now that (some) #AI researchers and engineers have rockstars-level salaries and notoriety, will they also have stage (or, better, paper) names?

Made it alive and well to the last day of #ACL2025NLP? Hats off you to you (well…us…)!!! Time to collect the last energy and pass by our poster this afternoon 😀

Not pressing _this_ work at #ACL2025NLP, but always happy to chat NLP/AI for dream analysis 😴🤖

I’ll be at #ACL2025NLP next week, with a paper for the #GeBNLP workshop! In this work, we tested the ability of a task-level explainability method to trace biological-sex biases in medical image classification, using general and biomedical VLMs. @aclmeeting.bsky.social @genderbiasnlp.bsky.social

👋 #sleeppeeps In this new work, we show how multiple LLMs appear to easily process #dreams, and reflect previously observed differences in reports (e.g., male-female, blind-sighted). We also argue for caution linking dreams and bizarreness when using #LLMs www.frontiersin.org/journals/sle...

Happy to share that our work on #conformalprediction for pulmonary nodule detection has been accepted for presentation at COPA 25 conference!

Introducing PreDA (prefix-based dream annotation), a set of generative LLMs tuned to annotate dream reports for 6 Hall & Van De Castle features! The paper will be presented at LOD 25 conference later this year as a long contribution. Models available here huggingface.co/jrc-ai #sleeppeeps #dream

💤 As I approach the end of my PostDoc at IMT Lucca, I’m looking for a new job! 🧠 Ideally: Research roles related to sleep/dream/consciousness/cognitive science. 🤖 Open to scientific writing & data analysis, too. 📍 Milan, nearby areas, or Switzerland. DMs open 💃🏼

thinking of calling this "The Illusion Illusion" (more examples below)

My deep learning course at the University of Geneva is available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts. Full of examples in PyTorch. fleuret.org/dlc/ And my "Little Book of Deep Learning" is available as a phone-formatted pdf (nearing 700k downloads!) fleuret.org/lbdl/

It's Sunday morning so taking a minute for a nerdy thread (on math, tokenizers and LLMs) of the work of our intern Garreth By adding a few lines of code to the base Llama 3 tokenizer, he got a free boost in arithmetic performance 😮 [thread]

Reproducing my thread from the Other Place on our Lancet paper 'Long COVID - a clinical update'. Coauthors Manoj Sivan, Alice Perlowski, Janko Nikolich. 1/ www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...?

E quindi come si sta da queste parti?

Work in progress -- suggestions for NLP-ers based in the EU/Europe & already on Bluesky very welcome! go.bsky.app/NZDc31B

Hi alI quick dataset question: I’m looking for a collection of histopathological images (no specific requirements wrt organ/disease/task) which includes metadata on participants’ (approximate) age. Any suggestion?

As a computational social scientist I could not miss to follow this beautiful creature: the BlueSky social network during its growth in the last hours! In this video I show just a snapshot for about 210k users and their 500k-ish connections #academicsky Zoom in the next post youtu.be/JcmYZtWGnjQ

Nice to see so many new #sleeppeeps on #SleepSky! I’m just gonna leave this here again 😅 (btw the paper and DReAMy abstract have now been published!)

How do language models organize concepts and their properties? Do they use taxonomies to infer new properties, or infer based on concept similarities? Apparently, both! 🌟 New paper with my fantastic collaborators @amuuueller.bsky.social and @kanishka.bsky.social

Sad to miss the #neuroscience of #dreaming summers school and the opportunity to chat about #NLP and #LLMs for #dream research. If you're interested, check out dreamy's tutorials on the Git page (also available on Google Colab) 😀 github.com/lorenzoscott...

👋 #SleepPeeps, happy to share DReAMy's new feature! Do you need to anonymise #dream reports? We've got you covered, with anonymized, a 1-line solution to find and replace entities. Try it out in our tutorial section, or online colab.research.google.com/drive/14hHRRC3…

Hello friends and #sleeppeeps, later this month I will be giving an talk on my (and relevant) work on #NLP, #LLMs and #dreams. Catch it of you're interested

Hello #sleeppeeps, the published version of our work is finally out! Have a read if you're interested in NLP and LLMs for automatic dream content analysis! aclanthology.org/2024.clpsych...

DReAMy abstract's finally out on SleepMedicine (WorldSleep 23)! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hello #sleeppeeps, happy to share that our paper "Automatic Annotation of #Dream Report’s Emotional Content with Large Language Models" was accepted for publication at #EACL2024 Computational Linguistic and Clinical Psychology Workshop! Here's a short 🧵

There's a curious new rhetorical strategy I'm encountering more and more often in online spaces wherein ignorance about a claim is taken to refute it. It goes a bit like the script below. It's the death-of-expertise script, but with an additional twist. Has anyone written about this?

Mondays are so much better when you wake up to interesting experimental results!

Hello #sleepPeeps, we've uploaded DReAMy's abstract, in case you missed the #WorldSleep23 presentation. You can also find my (very verbose) poster from #ESRS #eSLEEP congress, on training generative #LLMs for dream report annotation 😀

Quite amazing to see people are already using DReAMy in the their research at #WorldSleep2023 !!! Don't forget to stop by DReAMy's oral presentation (Room A07, 4:58) if you want to learn more about #LLMs for #dream reports analysis and annotation!

Hey #SleepPeeps, this is your friendly reminder to pass by our presentation later this afternoon, if you're at #WorldSleep2023

Hello #sleeppeeps! #WorldSleep2023 is a day away. Don't forget to stop by our oral presentation. We'll talk about our experiments with #LLMs on #dream reports, the library itself, and how to use it. Don't #sleep on it 😀

On a non-so-sciency note, we're planning on handing out some DReAMy stickers at #WorldSleep23 ! #scisky #sleeppeeps

👀

Hello, #SleepSky, #SleepPeeps, and #dream researchers. It's nice to see many of you here, and reciprocating the interest of a curious #NLP/#AI researcher. So I thought to do a quick thread about my interested dreams and sleep, and what I've done so far!

Hi #sleeppeeps, I will be around #eSLEEPEurope23 virtual congress this week. Shout out if you want to chat about #NLP and #LLMs for #dream analysis during one of the breaks 😀

Hello #sleeppeeps and #SciSky! Later this week, DReAMy and I will be at #eSleepEurope23, with a poster on how to train generative #LLMs to annotate #dream reports for different Hall & Van de Castle features. You can find models and demo at huggingface.co/DReAMy-lib

#HiSciSky, Lorenzo here! I am researcher at the European Commission's JRC, working on biomedical NLP. Before, I did a PhD and postdoc at Sussex Uni, where I focused on topics like compositionality, graph #ML, and dream analysis.
