A lot of wires ! (Manila 8am)

Manila breakfast: sikwate (strong hot chocolate), lemongrass juice (tastes of ginger and lemon), mango sago, corned beef, eggs scrambled with lemon juice

For brain mappers, climate change modelers, and #AI enthusiasts working with spherical harmonics (which will help you implement AI or graph-CNNs on closed surfaces), a cool new toolbox (torch harmonics [1]) just came out. Having spent 4-5 years writing these functions to align

Excerpt from a video I just posted on YouTube (about the multilayer perception layers in a transformer, and how LLMs may store facts).

Shuiwang Ji Yes! They have been used a lot in brain mapping - in 1996 we used them to register (spherically parameterized) cortical surfaces as you can expand any square-integrable function on the cortex in spherical harmonics Y_ℓm​(θ,ϕ), even a smooth change of coordinates that matches

CAN YOU USE Generative #AI for drug design ? Jesse Weller (Jesse Weller) + Remo Rohs (Remo Rohs)' mind-blowing new paper [1] + their video (excerpt here) use hierarchical variational autoencoders (VAEs) to design drugs that match protein binding sites. If you've been wondering how

New study led by Kong, Xiangzhen (孔祥祯) used machine learning to investigate brain structural asymmetry and its associations with cognitive functions, aging, and aging-related diseases biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Paul Thompson

I’m giving a talk next week at an #ANA American Neurological Association #AI workshop organised by biomedical engineering and neurology expert Prof Cassie Mitchell (Georgia Tech/Emory University [1]), whose email auto reply says she is “away this week”. When I met her on Zoom I

This is an excellent observation

There was a mistake in my Generative AI tutorial but I will fix it in next week's tutorial at Wake Forest. At this point youtube.com/watch?v=fOORfz… there's a description of classifier guidance in diffusion models, but a new video by Michael Elad shows why this is generally a bad
