Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

@sadigalisabzi As a tech person who was once confused by social class, I found Rick Roderick's empirical test quite helpful.

The verification principle cuts through flowery language: statements must be empirically testable, or logically reducible to testable claims; otherwise, they're meaningless. Meaningless sentences tend to deceive by eliciting emotional reactions, e.g., ones about AGI

Here, Zohran Mamdani reads Umar Khalid's Notes from Jail in New York, ahead of Modi's arrival in 2023.

Mamdani is a man of guts, character, and integrity. I have to admit, I like him so much more now.

Aimé Césaire's 1955 essay on colonialism is fascinating. In it, he points out the continuity between fascism and imperialism, that fascism is imperialism brought home, its machinery of suppression perfected on those "other" people living far away.

New: The NYPD has launched a hate crimes investigation into allegations that a man threatened to blow up mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s car. "Go ahead and start your car, see what happens,” the man said in a voicemail left with his office we obtained.

Every day, a few thousand children in India die from preventable causes like malnourishment. Over 2 million people died in the covid pandemic. Yet, instead of public health infrastructure, we get this war in "national interest." Absurd state of affairs.

This was joint work with Athresh (@athresh55), Sahil (@SahilSidheek), and our advisor Prof. Natarajan (@Sriraam_UTD).
The preprint and supplementary material are available on our lab website:

In our recent #AAAI25 work, we propose a unified framework for expressing domain knowledge about variables like monotonicity & independence. We use this framework to learn complex Probabilistic Circuit models from small & noisy data sets by exploiting multiple forms of knowledge.

@CoderUday 35.5% of Indian children under 5 suffer from stunting & 18.7% suffer from wasting due to malnourishment. The same statistics for China are 4.2% & 1.6% respectively.

@DearthOfSid They consider the Bombay plan socialism? It'd certainly have been a surprise to JRD Tata, GD Birla and all the other big businesspeople that authored it and then successfully lobbied the Indian government into implementing it

Please congragulate my dear friend @Sriraam_UTD who is now a AAAI fellow. Well done @Sriraam_UTD .

While AI systems excel at solving well-defined problems, our recent #AAAI work argues that developing these systems requires a deeper understanding of the crucial role played by humans, especially in less defined contexts:

[Sriraam Natarajan @Sriraam_UTD]

When building human allied AI systems, it is imperative to think of who is in control develop the appropriate evaluation function. In our blue sky paper at #AAAI, we argue that a deeper understanding of whether human is in the loop or if AI is in the loop is essential!

[Sriraam Natarajan @Sriraam_UTD]

Our work on a unified framework for learning PCs will appear in #AAAI our awesome trio of @SahilSidheek @mathursaurabh96 and @athresh55 have worked on this really awesome work. We can learn with varied types of rich domain knowledge! https://t.co/iDCY8iM3Sn

Excellent article pointing out the moral inconsistency of only lamenting individual murder while being apathetic to thousands of preventable, deprivation-related deaths:

On one hand, a man died via a trigger from a death machine. On the other hand, that same man condemned millions to death or suffering with a push of a few buttons on a computer death machine. Why is there only a moral judgement passed on the first? Bc the second is seen as normal
