Some of the most awful behaviors I've personally witnessed come from people blinded by their righteousness. Addiction to signaling (of the virtue variety or otherwise) is such a lame way to becoming an asshole.

We’re living in essentially the best of times, but news & social media have gotten better at compulsive negativity so people want to do angry posts rather than work on solving problems. slowboring.com/p/were-living-…

We should be discouraging the rat race mentality, not encouraging it. We should be incentivizing deep understanding, not superficial creativity. We should be emphasizing long-term planning, not short-term results.

MIT CSAIL researchers develop Tyche, a stochastic strategy for in-context medical image segmentation. This approach generalizes to new tasks and captures uncertainty: bit.ly/3PYmW2A A thread on the upcoming highlight paper #CVPR2024 🩻

Violent crime is falling fast. Climate change is looking a bit less dire. U.S. incomes are growing fast. Millennials and Gen Z are doing better than their parents did. Wage inequality is falling. Time to let ourselves be a little optimistic!! noahpinion.blog/p/five-things-…

The acceptance rate among aspiring ICLR2024 first authors who submitted >= 4 papers was 15%! Contrast that with the base acceptance rate that year: 30.5%. Unsettling.

New in-context learning work from our lab just dropped! Checkout out Tyche, to appear at #CVPR2024 as a ✨highlight✨, led by Marianne Rakic. x.com/MarianneRakic/…

It’s often much more impactful to do something well than to do it “first”.

Very excited to present Tyche #CVPR2024 this morning 🥳 (it is a highlight ✨) With Adrian Dalca and Hallee Wong Stop by if you are around. 😊 Website: tyche.csail.mit.edu

🏆Our Bench-to-Bedside Award goes to: "ScribblePrompt: Fast and Flexible Interactive Segmentation for Any Biomedical Image" by Hallee E. Wong, Marianne Rakic, John Guttag, Adrian V Dalca Congratulations! 🎉

The inability to download data and compute at local institutions will stifle innovation and crush the utility of the UK Biobank. The costs are prohibitively expensive for computationally intensive work and this will hinder most ML/AI/network-neuro research.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Here’s my full statement: barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

Never even liked tennis anyway.

You should never have to fight cancer AND your insurance company. Half of cancer patients abandon treatment when out-of-pocket costs exceed $2,000. Prescribed medicines, “covered” by an insurer, should be affordable with low or no out-of-pocket cost. Let’s #FixInsurance

Researchers from MGH Martinos Center developed a new approach to image registration, dubbed #SynthMorph, that takes advantage of #AI to achieve registration that is more robust, accurate, and faster than existing methods. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=neCue1… Malte Hoffmann MassGeneral News

Does registration of folding patterns always do a good job of aligning brain function? Thrilled to share our work #JOSA, a joint spherical #registration method that uses functional data to drive registration to achieve superior performance in geometric and functional registration
