Thrilled and humbled to receive the prestigious Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science! I’d like to thank all my mentors, past and current mentees, and brilliant colleagues at Wash U, NIH and NYU who made this journey possible.

Massive whitepaper just dropped on why neuroscience progress should continue to drive AI progress: arxiv.org/pdf/2210.08340… Argues for an embodied turing test. Needed: real interdisciplinary people, shared platform(s), fundamental research

I'm increasingly of the opinion that we need to be VERY CAREFUL about what conclusions we draw in research that involves GPT-3 (even as a baseline). We don't really know all we need to know about how the different versions are trained. Many use instruct-like training methods

New on arXiv: a mathematical note on how to do diffusion directly over categorical distributions ! Introducing Simplex Diffusion - if you've ever wondered how to replace masking noise with diffusion noise, that's how. arxiv.org/abs/2210.14784

This paper i an absolute gem: psyarxiv.com/2uxwk/ Great science, great writing, and a wonderful conclusion about scientific writing. I laughed out loud multiple times reading it. Hats off!

Excited to announce a new paper with Ethan LP. When people imagine how things could be *different*, they imagine things being *better*. experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/things-could…

We've become really good at taking big piles of data and operationalizing them into input -> output mappings that display skillfulness across any task you might want. But that's orthogonal to intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to efficiently adapt to new tasks.

Since transformers care only about relative angles you can process a cumulative sentence made of the sum of differently oriented source sentences and later unpack them. Vishvak Murahari carlos🇺🇸 "Tony" Runzhe Yang karthiknarasimhan #NeurIPS22
