Great first keynote on raga pedagogy and composition by Sumithra Vasudev
at Wimaga @ieeeICASSP

Would love to connect and chat on generative music models and human-in-the-loop musicking, if you are around.

Feel free to reach out.

[Prashanth @pthattai]

Looking forward to discussions on Indian music analysis and generative applications at Wimaga satelite workshop at #ICASSP2025 !!!

If you are at @NeurIPSConf, check out this interesting talk on ambiguity and contact-dependent perception by @lakshming92

[Lakshmi Govindarajan @lakshming92]

Is that a B or a 13 in the middle? 🤯

A classic case of top-down signals shaping bottom-up perception.

✨Excited to share our work at #NeurIPS2024 w/ @abhiramiyer (*co-first*), Valmiki Kothare, & @FieteGroup: a framework to study context-driven sensory processing. ✨ (1/n)

@AmazonHelp Happy to disagree. No information has been provided on why were we fed misinformation about deals and, why customers are expected to call up and verify Terms and Conditions.

Identified issue exists with other phones (Redmi note 12). Expected better service from @amazonIN.

[Prashanth @pthattai]

Trying to buy a Samsung Galaxy m34 phone for my dad at @amazonIN. Customer care was clueless until we pointed out front page deals are different from the end prices.

Looks like we fell for a click-bait. Shocked at customer service and misleading deals.
@amazonIN kindly look in

[Prashanth @pthattai]

@AmazonHelp No resolution seems to be the best resolution that can be provided by @amazonIN

A decade ago, if someone had predicted this, hardly a few would have believed it. But England have revolutized the game big time!

@EastMidRailway @nationalrailenq Hi, I took the 18.11Hrs train from Leicester and reached London St Pancras at 19.26Hrs. Sharing the details of my ticket here. Please let me know if there are any other details about the travel that I could share.

[Prashanth @pthattai]

@nationalrailenq Is a reserved seat invalid because the train manager hasn't marked the seat display as reserved? Appalled with the attitude of the train manager who neither apologized, nor resolved a racial abuse. #racialreservations are real even in this #jubilee.

[Prashanth @pthattai]

@nationalrailenq I was traveling on the East Midlands Railway train from Leicester to London St Pancras. I boarded the train at 18:11hrs at Leicester today My reserved seat was carriage B, seat 13.

Nice perspective on envisioning AI through arts.
Enjoyed reading this.

Brilliant piece by @ShannonVallor 'Mobilising the intellectual resources of the arts and humanities' https://t.co/85NjUNui9V on @AdaLovelaceInst

Shannon pops the bubble of AI exceptionalism with bicycles. Genius.

Interesting comparisons between generative sysyems

[Sebastian @sebastianberns]

We choose a simple generative process of 2D shapes, in which we have full control over the range of all parameters. We compare the performance of QD in two search spaces: the manually-defined parameter space and a learned latent space.

Laying a path for cooperative AI

[Nature Machine Intelligence @NatMachIntell]

It's time for the field of AI to tackle the hard problems of cooperation https://t.co/M4IhTEje07 by @AllanDafoe Yoram Bachrach @ghadfield @erichorvitz Kate Larson and @ThoreG

Deeply mourn the loss of Dr. Humberto Maturana. His approach to biology, cognition and theory of living systems was truly inspiring. Rip.

[César A. Hidalgo @cesifoti]

I am sad to hear about the departure of Humberto Maturana, one of the most influential Chilean scientists. His approach to life, love, neurobiology, & communication, was truly inspired. If you want to learn more about his work, pick up a copy of “The Tree of Life.”

Uncanny valley for human assisting robots

[John Hagel @jhagel]

Scientists have manufactured robots with human-like features to assist in various domains but they produce feelings of “unease, eeriness, and revulsion.” Most people are more comfortable with gadgets and machines that look like mechanical objects https://t.co/qXYHouMmRM
