Very cool work from former colleagues: doi.org/10.48550/arX... They render 3D objects into 2D images, systematically varying parameters like hue, lighting, camera angle, etc. Having tightly controlled stimulus sets like this will help compare representations across AI and biological networks. 🧪🧠

The AI for Visual Arts (AI4VA) workshop will return for its 3rd edition to @cvprconference.bsky.social in Denver 🎨💻! We will have both long (archival) papers appearing in the CVPR workshop proceedings and short (non-archival) ones. We will also arrange a visit to the Denver Museum! Stay tuned! #CVPR

The #arXiv computer science category is trying to cut down on AI slop spamming the system. They no longer accept un-published (journal or conference) review papers... Other categories may follow (depending on decisions by the moderators). ⚛️🧪☄️ blog.arxiv.org/2025/10/31/a...

Are top-down feedback connections enough for robust vision? We found ConvRNN with top-down feedback exhibiting OOD robustness only when trained with dropout, revealing a dual mechanism for robust sensory coding with @marco-d.bsky.social, Karl Friston, Giovanni Pezzulo & @siegellab.bsky.social 🧵👇

For the past 3 years, I've taught a course on Machine Learning for Climate Change to undergrads. At times, people have asked if the course lectures could be made available online. While I can't offer that, I have decided to start making "5 Minute Papers on AI for the Planet" videos. Hope its useful!

Hyperbolic surfaces are impossible to imagine, but aspects of their geometry are still mathematically accessible. To study these mysterious shapes, mathematicians measure how connected they are. Here’s what that means: buff.ly/ZWqJ1uU

Trials abandoned due to the stop-work order on USAID-funded research:
The Times identified more than 30 frozen studies that had volunteers already in the care of researchers, including trials of:

malaria treatment in children under age 5 in Mozambique

treatment for cholera in Bangladesh

a screen-and-treat method for cervical cancer in Malawi

tuberculosis treatment for children and teenagers in Peru and South Africa

nutritional support for children in Ethiopia

early-childhood-development interventions in Cambodia

ways to support pregnant and breastfeeding women to reduce malnutrition in Jordan

an mRNA vaccine technology for H.I.V. in South Africa

Interesting paper showing how LLMs change their representational geometry in-context to match a task structure: arxiv.org/abs/2501.00070 Here, the model’s latent representations show a grid structure matching the task. #MLSKy #NeuroAI

What's the difference between explainability and interpretability? Does the machine learning community have an agreed-upon definition? No. There's a great overview, which is from this paper: arxiv.org/abs/2211.08943 My take: I prefer interpretability since the term explainability is too strong.
Overview of definitions for interpretability and explainability for different papers. The gist: the authors have different definitions.
