Evidence on tap: we introduce 'floZ', a new method to compute the Bayesian evidence from pre-existing posterior samples based on normalizing flows.

We tested it in up to 15D, finding good agreement with nested sampling 😃

Fellow academics: if you use 'significantly' a lot, you are beginning to sound like ChatGPT! 😎
👏 lead author Mingmeng GENG for teasing out the impact of LLM's from 1 million preprint abstracts.
tldr: computer scientists appear to use it a lot more than mathematicians.

Where am I?

Booked my train ticket & looking forward to talking fantasy worldbuilding!

#cosyne2024 Perceptual biases are ubiquitous in working or reference memory tasks; but how do they emerge in a neural net? Continuous Hebbian learning in an RNN is all you need!

Check out Francesca Schönsberg's work w/ D. Giana, Yukti Chopra, and M. Diamond-today at poster 67!

📢📢📢 The center where I am starting my climate science adventure, LEAP, has an awesome REU program in climate science x data science (no previous experience required). The mentors are an amazing group of people. Virtual info session 3/1, deadline 3/10! leap.columbia.edu/education/2024…

It was such a pleasure, and great to meet and talk to so many people! Particularly delighted to be speaking in a lecture hall full of physics demos! 😁
Thanks for the invite and I hope to be back soon.

It felt good (and strange) to pay a quick visit to my alma mater, ETH Zurich : on the Polyterrasse, the same views, the same nerdy atmosphere and the same students busy revising as in the good olden days 🤭

Greatly looking forward to it!

Thanks for nothing, Elon

Currently on a whistlestop tour of Switzerland to deliver talks Universität Bern University of Zurich and OMG! - after many yrs abroad I'm falling in love all over again (or perhaps for the first time) with the incredible natural beauty of my long-neglected (by me) home country 💘🇨🇭 #atonement

I had the most simulating day at Universität Bern discussing the potential of AI from cosmology to psychology, from education to research proposals evaluation. 🙏 Hugues Abriel @[email protected] for inviting me, and I look fwd to further collaboration!
