[Fund Immunotherapy Ireland @FundImmuno]

My name is Bernard, living in Ireland. I have stage 4 stomach cancer. My medical consultants recommend Immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite best scientific and clinical evidence, my Irish healthcare insurer won't fund this. Am I alone?

*The Forward-Forward Algorithm*

For those who missed #NeurIPS, @geoffreyhinton is now investigating a possible alternative to backprop, "forward-forward".

In a nutshell: maximize activation of all neurons on "real" data, minimize on "fake" data.

New journal paper on Latent Space Alignment! Neural agents learn latent representations spaces, but often each agent learns its own idiosyncratic space. How can we align those space among agents or even with humans? https://t.co/urjGjCsZVY
