Our @CogCompNeuro GAC write-up is out! Our two main questions: 1⃣ How should we use neuroscientific data in model development (raw experimental data vs. qualitative insights)? 2⃣ How should we collect experimental data for model development (model-free vs. model-based)?

"People often wonder: why on earth would anyone want to do a PhD?" Amii researcher, @alonamarie answers this question with another question: "why on earth would anyone want to train for the Olympics?" Read more about the comparison here: hubs.la/Q029TH0D0 #PhD #AIResearch
Ever consider pursuing a PhD? Amii researcher @alonamarie explores how undertaking a PhD is like training for the Olympics and how you can develop an Olympian state of mind. Read here: hubs.la/Q029TkL_0 #AI #AIResearch #PhD
[1/3] This semester at @UAlberta , @alonamarie and I are co-instructing “Machine Learning & the Brain”. Students read and present various seminal papers from the field. We’ve finished vision papers and next week is Reinforcement Learning. We’re wrapping up "Language" this week.

although now that I think of it “being yelled at while unable to leave” is not dissimilar from some conference q&as i have witnessed
These women, and many, many more have contributed to shaping AI in the last centuries and decades, and their contributions are often overlooked. Women still represent ~12% of researchers in AI and we still have a lot of ground to cover before achieving some semblance of diversity
Seems right to me too. I 100% believe a woman would have to emphasize that she had a PhD to get the same level of respect as a very confident dude named "Bob" who couldn't even be bothered to share whether he had any relevant expertise.

I'm delighted to be coming back to Bristol tomorrow (Feb 13th) to talk about consciousness, the self, and Being You, for the Bristol Humanist annual Darwin Day lecture :-) Details here: wegottickets.com/event/604068
One claim was that LLMs can't be right because they learn "impossible languages." This was never really justified, and now @JulieKallini and collaborators show its probably not true: x.com/JulieKallini/s…
Do LLMs learn impossible languages (that humans wouldn’t be able to acquire) just as well as they learn possible human languages? We find evidence that they don’t! Check out our new paper… 💥 Mission: Impossible Language Models 💥 ArXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2401.06416 🧵
