Thrilled to share our NeurIPS Spotlight paper with @japhba* @akaijsa* @SaxeLab @summerfieldlab @Ahummos*!

We study how task abstractions emerge in gated linear networks and show that these abstractions support cognitive flexibility.

Increasingly I feel that academics self-organise themselves not primarily by 'topic of interest' but rather 'epistemology'.

@paulg Oh great. This thought will just make things even more awkward now… 🤨

What happens when we train the largest vision-language model and add in robot experiences?
The result is PaLM-E 🌴🤖, a 562-billion parameter, general-purpose, embodied visual-language generalist - across robotics, vision, and language.

A historic day.

After the darkness, division and hate of the past four years, America has spoken and rejected more of the same.

Congratulations to my good friend President-Elect @JoeBiden.

Today we go forward in hope & progress.

@josh_tobin_ The best part is how it validates the soul-crushing frustration that comes naturally with deep learning. Thank you!
