Thank you @samjoiner , @love_persis , @inari_ta and @sam_learner and @johnthornhillft for this compelling multimedia story about how artificial intelligence methods could help unlock incredible scientific discoveries about the rich and complex lives of our co-species on Earth.

Could exponential advances in AI help us break down the interspecies communication barrier? Check out our newly published technical roadmap to see how we’re approaching the challenges and opportunities on the road to decode. https://t.co/DhTiqsNEHj

Whispering orcas, turtle hatchlings communicating through their shells, coral larvae using sound to navigate to their home reefs… Could learning to listen to other species help solve for global challenges? Check out our latest blog and watch the video! https://t.co/kuRmh9Ma5O

HOW TO SPEAK WHALE IS OUT! 📘🐳

To celebrate I tried to summarise it in 60s 🤯

Exciting opportunity for an AI Research Scientist to join our growing team and help apply machine learning techniques to the challenge of understanding the language of other species! https://t.co/BOHo5XgPiu

Happy Mother’s Day! After a YEAR of painting, my animated short Chamoe is now live. See the full film at:

I celebrate all mothers with this little film! I hope it brings 2 min of light and warmth to many moms out there today ❤️ #chamoefilm #MothersDay

Our work on end-to-end source separation for animals—the ability to isolate the individual calls when multiple bats, dolphins, and macaque monkeys are vocalizing—is out in Scientific Reports and Github

Thank you for this work, @lorenb.

Yesterday was my 39'th birthday. To celebrate, I hosted a #masks4all making party with family in KY & TN.

Learn how homemade masks can slow the spread of infection, protect family+community, & save pro masks for medical workers.

Post a pic w/ your fam.

Watch this.

Spending time w/ @jeremyphoward, @math_rachel, and community is always inspiring and heart warming.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

Last night we started teaching our new deep learning course (virtually). We included a section about covid-19, since it's on all our minds.

The course won't be released until July. The class asked if we could release the covid-19 part now. Yes, we can!

There is a lot I ❤️ about @fastdotai v2, but probably my favorite thing is the flexibility it allows in reading in data.

The example in chpt #6 of the fastbook https://t.co/UIq1IsLi1I where you start with an empty DataBlock is 🤯.

If you would like to see a RL example of this,

[Radek Osmulski @radekosmulski]

Using the out of the box functionality from
@fastdotai v2 to troubleshoot a model that wouldn't train...

... and fixing the situation by implementing stratified sampling of epochs of arbitrary length

So little code needed! 😺

[Grant Sanderson @3blue1brown]

With recorded COVID-19 cases (outside china) so eerily matching an exponential, I couldn't resist making a primer on exponential/logistic growth. At least 3 counterintuitive things about this kind of growth seem worth putting into the discussion.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

As data scientists, we (with @math_rachel) have done our best to look at the data around covid-19, and what it means to you and your community.

Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now.

You have always been a North Star. Thank you @brewster_kahle, @whanamura.

Congratulations @earthspecies founders @aza @bs on your launch! We are proud to be working with this new nonprofit dedicated to decoding animal language! Listen to @NPRinvisibilia profile of their vision: https://t.co/tAiBoCGkxR

If you would like to do some alignment of a cloud point from one language onto another of your own, here is a great repository by @artetxem: https://t.co/FGAPwdmmh9

Thank you, @vassallo, for your amazing heart and mind. Couldn't do this without you.

[Steve Vassallo @vassallo]

Just love today's season opener of @NPRinvisibilia - a moving backstory behind @earthspecies, the open-source nonprofit on a mission to decode animal communication. So proud of @aza and @bs, and blown away by how beautifully @aspiegelnpr told this story.

Great example of powerful and creative representation of social issue - in this case, species extinction.

Last words of every inmate executed in Texas since 1984 – Browsing public language corpora and ran across this one. Profundity coupled with rote tabular data.
