NLAs look like they "work"---but compared to what? How can we know that they actually tell us anything about model internals? In my new blogpost (and paper, to be presented at ICML!), we investigate whether activation verbalizers (like NLAs) produce faithful explanations.

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

Can patients monitor 🧠 cognitive decline from 🏠 home? In our #CHI2025 🏆 best paper 🏆, we discuss our experiences with deploying 💡 Beacon, a device to support this need by enabling self-administration of the 📈 critical flicker frequency (CFF) test. 1/

So cool to have our work on screening for minimal hepatic encephalopathy @AmJGastro spotlighted! w/ @MaybeRaviKarkar @ProfJayFo @smunson @gnioannou

Patient with cirrhosis has subtle impairments in attention. Is it minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE)? Critical flicker frequency (CFF) is a well-studied test for MHE but is not practical for at-home use Now in @AmJGastro - a potential solution! journals.lww.com/ajg/Abstrac…

I'll relax once I submit this paper. I'll relax once I submit my thesis. I'll relax once I defend my thesis. I'll relax after I get a post-doc. Damn! I guess I'll have to relax after I get a permanent position. No. The future always gets busier. Schedule proper breaks NOW. 💛

Clear lesson in all this is that science comms need to improve. Without bridging the gap between academia and reality, even clearly relevant research will just continue being ignored with unfortunate consequences.

throwback to when we (@ItsMrLin + @Phortissimo ) worked on this 5 years ago without neural networks towards solving problems in education, didn't know it could get so much media hype, haha devpost.com/software/illustr…

Super excited to have shared our latest collaboration between @uwcse, @nvidia, and @ucl on using an array of single-pixel detectors placed around the eye for gaze tracking, as a practical, low-power alternative to traditional camera-based systems at @ismarconf 2020 today!
