Distill will be taking a one year hiatus starting today, which may be extended indefinitely. Our editorial team has written some reflections on what we've learned over the past five years, and the factors that led to this decision.

Adversarial Reprogramming of Neural Cellular Automata — A new Distill article by Ettore Randazzo, Alex Mordvintsev, Eyvind Niklasson, and Michael Levin. This is the fourth article in the Differentiable Self-organizing Systems thread.

New lenses – tools for seeing more detail more clearly –are essential for any scientific endeavor, and this new Circuits article by Michael Petrov et al. provides us with an incredibly crisp example of why.

For today's Dynamically Typed, I finally sat down to read (and summarize!) three recent Distill articles, on multimodal neurons, branch specialization, and weight banding.

I'll highlight each one in this thread; all three are also here: dynamicallytyped.com/issues/063/ (1/4)

Weight Banding — A new Distill article by
Michael Petrov, Chelsea Sierra Voss, Ludwig Schubert, Nick, Gabriel Goh, and Chris Olah. This is the ninth article in the Circuits thread.

Branch Specialization — A new Distill article by Chelsea Sierra Voss, Gabriel Goh, Nick, Michael Petrov, Ludwig Schubert, and Chris Olah. This is the eighth article in the Circuits thread.

Do neural networks have any emergent structures that are larger-scale than circuits?

In our new Circuits article, we investigate the tendency of neural network branches to *specialize* – sorting closely-related features together across distinct branches.
