@joey_k_hsu @BIDMCNeuroRes @BIDMChealth Congratulations Joey !!!!

[Omar Sanseviero 🇫🇷 @RAISE Paris @osanseviero]

The ML ecosystem in France is on fire🔥 It has amazing talent and resources. Here are 10 facts you might not know:

1. There are great research labs - from @MistralAI and @kyutai_labs to large ones from @AIatMeta and @GoogleDeepMind. The Llama 2 and CodeLlama authors are based in France!
2. Did you know sklearn is maintained by @Inria (a top national research institution).
3. Companies such as @OVHcloud and @Scaleway are European leads in computing and hosting.
4. There is the Jean Zay supercomputer with 28 petaflops, where @BigscienceW Bloom was trained.
5. @huggingface has its largest office there🤗.
6. There is @joinstationf, the world's largest startup campus with 1k+ startups, and 42, a very interesting CS school.
7. It has top CS universities. Maybe they don't have international renown or prestige and they don't invest as much in marketing, but they are really top, and their alumni are really, really strong.
8. A thriving startup ecosystem, @MithrilSecurity @photoroom_app @giskard_ai ChainLit @zama_fhe and many others.
9. Unlike SF, it's not in a tech bubble. E.g., the fashion industry is very strong. There are many art collectives. A good example of the power of this is Obvious Art (https://t.co/8zBT5Thzxl), a collective of researchers and artists working with ML.
10. It's very well located in Europe; quick train ride away from other tech hubs such as London, Barcelona, or Zurich, as well as strong universities (EPFL, ETH, UK unis, etc).

This figure makes the core effect of brain asymmetry in SES more clear - I should have posted this one.

Once I wanted to learn about NLP so I wrote a Transformer in Tensorflow & for the life of me couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Then I shared my code with an NLP PhD student, who switched the optimizer from SGD to Adam, and it worked.

Now I am a PhD student in databases

#NeuroTwitter: Looking to hire two awesome RAs @BostonChildrens. We've got methods and data aplenty and current projects range from studying face recognition in #autism with cool fMRI protocols to #lesionnetworkmapping of aggression/agitation to real-time fMRI neurofeedback. 1/4

🦠NEW VARIANT—a new #SARSCoV2 variant C.1.2 just identified in South Africa & several countries, with concerns it could be more infectious and evade vaccines. #C12 also has mutation rate that is nearly **twice as fast** as the rate of the other variants.🧵

"How to cover letter"; a brief thread from a scientific editor's perspective

Yes, in brief editors do read cover letters although like myself, most pay far less attention than to the abstract and main elements of the paper!

First, a few "do's"

[Alexander Li Cohen @DrDrXanderLi]

Do all kids with autism have trouble seeing faces? We found 40% have impaired face recognition (vs 8% without autism) which correlated with ADOS scores, controlling for Age, Sex, and IQ (n=445!). @IvryZaguryOrly @LSoussand @BostonChildrens @BCH_Innovation https://t.co/15pWO5rW3M
