Unveiling the next chapter in our quest towards the elusive theory of *all* neural networks: Categorical Deep Learning! 🐈🤖 categoricaldeeplearning.com See thread 🪡 for a bucket list 🪣 of concepts our framework can handle! w/ Bruno Gavranović P. Lessard Andrew Dudzik Tamara von Glehn @_joaogui1

Various DNNs are claimed to support visual reasoning in the same-different task. We show that these DNNs fail when tested more rigorously on this and related tasks. arxiv.org/pdf/2402.12675… Our finding mirrors recent work by Lewis & Melanie Mitchell: arxiv.org/abs/2402.08955

We just released Bonito 🐟, an open-source model that converts your raw, unannotated data into synthetic instruction tuning datasets. With it, you can easily create a specialized LLM for your proprietary and private data! (1/n) github.com/BatsResearch/b…

We've got five job openings at quantinuum-Oxford! Foundations/applied ZX / qAI / qML / QNLP algorithms. jobs.eu.lever.co/quantinuum?loc…

Just dropped a 3-hour lecture on "Diffusion Models": youtu.be/rLepfNziDPM?si… We cover their formulation, optimization and implementation. Discover why they're the game-changers in generative imaging & more.

I am hoping to hire a postdoc who would start in Fall 2024. If you are interested in the intersection of linguistics, cognitive science, and AI, I encourage you to apply! Please see this link for details: rtmccoy.com/prospective_po…

I have a fully funded PhD studentship for a home student at University of Nottingham. If you would like to work with me, in category theory, logic and theoretical computer science, please get in touch. Details on my website: stringdiagram.com/phd-students/

Have you ever wanted to train a GPT model using category theory? Now you can!

Hey Apple, I fixed it for you (sound on)

The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) conference has extended its submission deadline until May 15. scienceofintelligence.de/sab-conference… Also: it is the only conference to sport an annual non-AI generated spirit animal:

Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

Job alert! I am looking for a talented PhD student to do research on generative diffusion and its connections to statistical physics and memory. Feel free to send me a PM if you need more info! You can apply here: ru.nl/en/working-at/… Otherwise, please retweet!

My Inaugural Lecture is 3 June - feel free to join us in person or online - all are welcome! Register here: eventbrite.com/e/making-swarm…
