Attention is one of the most important breakthroughs in AI - the foundation of Transformers

This @distillpub is the best explanation of it I've seen.

For #100DaysOfMLCode / #100DaysOfCode folks - try building an attention mechanism from scratch!

It is time for a bit of courage and innovation:
The JOP will start accepting Registered Reports as a new article format in January 2023.
Publication decisions for RR will be based on the merits of the research question and design, irrespective of the empirical results. 1/11

How to make text parsers work for sociological inquiry? PhD student, Oscar Stuhler, tackles this question in a new paper in Sociological Methods & Research. It comes with an R package and, among other things, an analysis of who kisses whom in US novels.

.@jake_rothschild and I peeked behind the curtains to learn how companies outsource online survey respondents and we were blown away by what we found: https://t.co/4rZZHq0U0d.

[Landon Schnabel @LandonSchnabel]

To understand gender, education, and stratification more generally, we need to understand religion.

New research with @HorwitzIlana, @kayleetmatheny, and Krystal Laryea traces the role of religious habitus and implications for gender and education.

Hey, that's us!

Also important finding: pregnancy timing (relative to preferred timing) is not related to infant outcomes.

So maybe we could re-orient things a little? Parents matter, y'all!

Just because a variant may be less likely to lead to "severe" cases and death doesn't mean we shouldn't care. Not being dead is not the definition of health.

I recovered fully when I got sick in early March 2020, but my life was changed completely because a family member didn't.

New working paper on COVID-19 vaccination in the US. @jchu1225 and I find that COVID-19 vaccination rates among those who do not register to vote, whom we call “political outsiders”, are lowest (47%) by October 2021, even lower than Republican voters (65%) https://t.co/6tUnoKG3cd
