Come speak at our recurring "research jam" — the "lab meeting" equivalent of an independent and distributed research community this Wednesday, if you are working on a fun project and seeking feedback, collaboration, and/or compute resources! mlcollective.org/events/resea...

Over the past year, I grew linearly in age, exponentially in size, stubbornly in wisdom, inversely in AI knowledge, and fluctuatingly in my outlook for the future. Entering a new decade is scary, but slightly less so if you have somewhere to place hope. Happy birthday to me 😛

We just finished Fargo Season 5 and my partner is searching twitter for what people he follows say about the show and found a slew of posts of mine before he met me, all about my dog — whose name is, unmistakably, Fargo.

There are numerous types of experiences in the world; each moves and shapes us in its own way. But reading Murakami has to be its own category. I can't think of anything else even close to it. Not claiming it's good or bad, just a disjoint node in the graph that's distant from all the other nodes.

Now out in @NatureNeuro! Animals can do Transitive Inference (TI): quickly learn, and reconfigure, global order from partial info (learn A>B, B>C,C>D, immediately know A>D). But currently no neural model explains the observed features of TI. So we asked the machine to find one for us -and it did!

Probably pregnancy hormones, but this drew tears from me today: A new mom was describing how she found it hard to connect her newborn to the one in the womb that used to kick her every day, "the kicking baby feels like a totally different person, who stayed behind in 2024 with that pregnant woman."

I'm sick of being so sick 🤢 I've had like a total of 4 healthy days in the whole past month. And the worst days were Christmas day and New Year's day. Life is grey.

Rosanne Liu @rosanneliu.com · 31/12/2024

It's never fun getting sick, but especially not if it spans the whole holiday season, with back to back virus infections (first parainfluenza and then RSV), and while 6-month pregnant 🥲 I hope you all are beating this New Year's baseline at least. Happy New Year!

Currently (or maybe have always been) in a mental state where an incoming email with title "Appreciation for Your..." paralyzes me and gives me fear. I keep thinking about this comic someone once sent to me: "Why it breaks your brain to take a compliment" theoatmeal.com/comics/brain...

Why it breaks your brain to take a compliment - The Oatmeal

The science and psychology of why taking compliments is so hard.

C++ code coverage reports are now available in Doxide v0.8.0! This was quite a journey, improving the test suite for a machine learning library that makes heavy use of templates and catching a few bugs. I hope others can find it useful too! #cplusplus #cpp #SoftwareEngineering #OpenSource

I woke up at 5 and made slides for the meeting, walked my dog for an hour and groomed him afterwards, did food prep, and cleaned and decorated. Maybe what we claim to want, what we really want, and what's actually good for us are always 3 different things.

On no-agenda weekends, which is what I thought I'd want, I usually get little done and feel anxious by the end of it. This Sunday I have a 2h Town Hall meeting, a party to host, and guests to receive from out of town. I ended up doing way more than what's required. And felt good.

I always thought I'm an OK writer, not an extraordinary one, because every ML researcher around me is also a writer! It sort of comes with the job. But today someone came to me and said "I like your latest post! Do you have a professional editor?" Maybe I'm getting somewhere 😳

As cyber harassers started to go through my online media to take screenshots to attack me, Marcus the optimist: They're getting to your talk now! Maybe they will listen to it and love it and realize how wrong they are. Me: 🙄😂🙄😂🙄😂

Rosanne Liu @rosanneliu.com · 11/11/2023

It does affect me, though, unfortunately, for the last 24 hours since it blew up yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be here typing right now instead of getting to what I love: cooking and research. But I want to assure my friends and those who care that I am doing okay.

Rosanne Liu @rosanneliu.com · 11/11/2023

So I think I have a pretty balanced view of the whole thing. Not going fully defensive or any serious amount offended.

Rosanne Liu @rosanneliu.com · 11/11/2023

I'm not so self-righteous to confidently say that I didn't do anything wrong—well, there's some small part I could've done better from the start (for which I've apologized to the other party, and we've cleared it up). But I of course also know I 100% don't deserve this massive attack and bullying.

Rosanne Liu @rosanneliu.com · 11/11/2023

I'm not reposting all your reeeeeeally lovely posts about me, because that'd get the fire onto you. (It already happened to a few friends who left supportive comments and ended up getting attacked.) But please know that I read them all, and am immensely grateful.
