Totally needed work👇! We are investigating predictive uncertainties with physics based prompts to LLMs. Hope to discuss this with others at #neurips2024
New Anthropic research: Adding Error Bars to Evals. AI model evaluations don’t usually include statistics or uncertainty. We think they should. Read the blog post here: anthropic.com/research/stati…

Super important study from my point of view.

Couldn’t agree more. I hope we @helmholtz_ai can do our share to disseminate SBI to other lands of Physika!
A milestone! 10 years ago I had an epiphany about using machine learning to approximate likelihood ratios, enabling statistical inference when your model is a complex simulator. Since then ~1000 papers on SBI have been published, but this is the 1st from the @ATLASexperiment 🧵

This must be a fun event! Join, if you can!
We already have many fantastic registrations for the Snakemake hackathon 2025 at @CERN! But there are still some free seats left. Make sure to apply/register soon if you want to shape the future of Snakemake! indico.cern.ch/event/snakema…

Quite surprising! Big congrats to the awardees and quite a win for ML itself.

I can only recommend the @nightsciencepod by @ItaiYanai and @MartinJLercher. I learned a lot so far. Would be great to have more speakers from outside life science like @seanmcarroll or @MelMitchell1 and learn about their ways of doing science.

To be even more fair, I’d argue most researchers have a hard time defining what research is (and how it’s done) in the 1st place. Most is done intuitively, people hardly establish methods aside rules of logic. But I agree, a lot of ML lit has flaws. #noprematuregeneralisation
to be fair, much of the published AI literature these days is not research either

Very pleased to see this paper now published! Important work, and aligned with my observations. Communicating these concerns often leads to pushback—I know I have been hit by it hard—so kudos to the authors and the journal for publishing it 👏
Our new paper in @NatMachIntell tells a story about how, and why, ML methods for solving PDEs do not work as well as advertised. We find that two reproducibility issues are widespread. As a result, we conclude that ML-for-PDE solving has reached overly optimistic conclusions.

Love the paper and the comment!
Another paper pointing out in details what we've known for a while: LLMs (used via prompting) cannot make sense of situations that substantially differ from the situations found in their training data. Which is to say, LLMs do not possess general intelligence to any meaningful degree. What LLMs can be good for, is to serve as knowledge/routine stores for an actual AGI. They're a memory -- a representation of a data corpus -- and memory is a necessary component of intelligence. But keep in mind that intelligence is not just memory.

I am returning again and again to compression these days (in python & julia). One important library in this remains Blosc2 and the growing ecosystem around it! I am happy to provide a testimonial for the team and the ecosystem: ironarray.io/why-ironarray @FrancescAlted @ironArray

For anyone doing #ComputerVision and #MachineLearning in the Dresden 🇩🇪 area, we are having a ComputerVision-Stammtisch tonight at 6pm at the #katanalabs office. I'll be talking about our approach to estimate #StarDist segmentation uncertainties. katana-labs.com/about/

So glad to see this out. Big CONGRATS to the team!
Our 🧬 language model GROVER has now been published in @NatMachIntell. GROVER is a foundation model on the human genome to understand how such models learn grammatical structure in 🧬 and fine-tune it for more specific genomics questions. doi.org/10.1038/s42256-024-0… a 🧵 1/11
