Lots of folks talking about scaling LLM inference over this last year

Internally, I’ve been developing and using a library that makes this extremely easy, and I decided to open-source it

Meet the decoding library: https://t.co/p9B2iyQQKO

I'm extremely excited to launch the relational cognition lab at UC Irvine: https://t.co/USjmvlWn3d
We study learning and memory in mind, brains and machines. I am open to collaborations and hiring a lab technician in January 2025 (job ad soon). Reach out to chat!

Why did Factorio have to release an awesome expansion this year...

Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, or Dissertation. Tough choices.

[Ata Karagoz @AtaBK]

The last year of my PhD was maybe not the best time to get into dwarf fortress.

[Context Lab @ContextMemLab]

Now out in @NatureComms (lead: @Xu_Xinming)! How do conversations shape how (and what) people guess about the unknown past and future (e.g., in other people's lives)?

[Nina Rouhani @ninarouhani]

I will be recruiting 💫two PhD students💫 for my new lab! (computational learning & memory applied to individual & interactive behavior, https://t.co/EXo6x5fI8Z).

Feel free to e-mail if interested and catch me at SfN! (poster 06 at 1 PM on Wed 10/09)

[Ata Karagoz @AtaBK]

Go work with Rob, a fantastic scientist and human being!

[Rob Mok @Rob_Mok]

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining CiNet (Center for Information and Neural Networks; https://t.co/A8jvR5d52y) in Osaka Japan to start my lab in April/May 2025! We have postdoc positions (1 open NOW) & PhD apps (Osaka U) possible. Details below & pls retweet! Short 🧵 1/

[Craig Poskanzer @CraigPoskanzer]

Excited to share this project! Across 3 experiments, we find consistent evidence that encoding and prediction are coupled-- not competitive. See our preprint or come to my poster at SFN (PSTR305.12) to see some follow-up modeling work!

[Mariam Aly @mariam_s_aly]

Does encoding the present compete with predicting the future?

In 3 behavioral studies, we find that encoding and prediction are coupled, not competitive!

Proud of @CraigPoskanzer & @hannahtstoll for leading this work w/ Raheema Javid & Edoardo Spolaore!

Having just gotten to meet with Melanie at SFI, I think this is a fantastic opportunity! She is excellent, SFI is amazing, go do some brilliant work!

[Melanie Mitchell @MelMitchell1]

I'm looking for a postdoc (to start Spring or Summer 2025) to work with me & others at the Santa Fe Institute on AI models of visual and multimodal reasoning.

See https://t.co/qizguVMdzL for more info & application instructions.

Social psych friends: do you know of--or have and are willing to share--any dataset(s) of open-ended conversations with survey outcome measures (e.g., enjoyment, connectedness)? Dyads preferred, but >2 speakers also fine. Like the 🔥 CANDOR dataset (even if smaller). Thanks!!

[Wouter Kool @wouterkool]

Check out Lauren's awesome work in @PNASNews on how humans change their behavior when they are training AI. Our university wrote a nice article covering this work, with some awkward quotes from yours truly. https://t.co/BI0wYybdW1

[Emily Finn @esfinn]

Proud to have the entire @FINNLab_neuro at #CCN2024! Here's where you can catch us:

First up, Katie O'Nell @katieoneuro has a talk in tomorrow morning's session (Thurs 9:30am) about a new way to quantify what makes conversation good (hint: think pink 🩷🎀💅)

[CogCompNeuro @CogCompNeuro]

For folks who aren't able to attend in-person, we are excited to be able to stream all talks this year on our youtube channel:

Please share!

[Ata Karagoz @AtaBK]

@abarnettPhD @TheNeuro_MNI Super excited to see what y'all get up to at the Neuro!

[Ata Karagoz @AtaBK]

Go work with Dr. Spiers, who has consistently been doing fantastic and inspiring work!

[Qihong Lu | 吕其鸿 @Qihong_Lu]

Glad that this paper is out @SciReports
where we combined Bayesian nonparametrics & vector representations of context to learn shared & context-specific information; and we used the model to account for human data on schema learning and event cognition!

[Mariam Aly @mariam_s_aly]

Our attention waxes and wanes over time. How does this influence the way our memories are organized?

Pupil size at encoding, an index of attention, predicts the temporal structure of subsequent memory

Super proud of @manasijkumar for this work! 👀
