many thanks to Patrick Mineault for summarizing some of the *incredible* research happening in the field and for featuring our work in this space✨🙇✨

working on this project has truly been a joy our approach: identify which elements of this modeling framework (eg, architecture, objective) contribute to human-model alignment. then, we push those models to failure, and the challenges inherent in 3D visual inferences take shape

so excited to share that i've received UC's Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship ✨🥳✨ i'm working with an INCREDIBLE team at Berkeley AI Research, led by Angjoo Kanazawa, Alyosha Efros, & Jitendra Malik while collaborating with Charan Ranganath + Randy O'Reilly at UC Davis Center for Neuroscience

truly a wonderful talk from Alison Gopnik. when comparing humans to LLMs, she reminds us: there's no such thing as "general intelligence." our behaviors emerge from a concert of interacting cognitive functions. better to disentangle these systems than mythologize a construct

As the Israeli military plunged Gaza into darkness last night, thousands took over NYC's Grand Central Station, staging an emergency sit-in during rush hour to demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to the Israeli government's bombing of Gaza.

“Uncle, are you taking me to the graveyard?” asked the little girl who thought she was dead after an Israeli strike razed her home in Al-Bureij camp in Gaza. "No, darling. You are alive and beautiful like the moon,” the rescuer said.

happy to share that we'll be presenting this work at neurips 2024! 🥳 some *surprising* updates coming for the results soon 👀 but all the code/images/data are already available at project page: tzler.github.io/MOCHI/ 🤗: huggingface.co/datasets/tzler… code: github.com/tzler/mochi_co…

i'm in vancouver for #NeurIPS2024 presenting our 3D shape inference benchmark tomorrow! stop by poster #1210 at 4:30 on friday if you're interested and if you'd like to talk about neuro-ai, human cognition, or suggest nearby hikes, feel free to reach out!
