Every research project starts with a question and ends with a folder called “final_FINAL_reallyfinal2”

In conclusion, this should win Best Picture:

I would describe it as a high dimensional container of a lot of different immiscible liquids. "Go get me new ideas in X" - samples from immisicible pools. Nothing new. "Examine X with Y lens. Now, relax assumption Z" - emulsification. Samples new space.

Intensely moving. I was effortlessly knocked out of my default 'bsky research paper mode' into heavy, heavy introspection. And I'm so grateful for that

Why isn’t modern AI built around principles from cognitive science or neuroscience? Starting a substack (infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/why-isnt-m...) by writing down my thoughts on that question: as part of a first series of posts giving my current thoughts on the relation between these fields. 1/3

This is from a satirical magazine written by Anthony Kenny and Julius Kovesi in Oxford, 1958-59. I have reviewed so many papers in the last 5 years that are basically just this.

A study reveals the Network of Theseus (NoT), which enables neural networks to shift trained architectures into new models without performance loss. This method decouples training from inference, promoting efficient AI designs and exploration of architecture options. https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.04198

haven't seen this posted here, looks like maybe a big deal, crushes a bunch of stuff. arxiv.org/abs/2506.21734

Very excited to be presenting my work "Estimating and Correcting Yes-No Bias in Language Models" (done with @neuranna.bsky.social) at the poster session @ #CogSci2025 today! Please come check it out starting 1pm 🙏🏻! Poster | Paper
