    It’s the last day of me being 43 and I’ve just found out that E.B.White, who wrote Charlotte’s Web, is the same White as Strunk & White. 🤯

    Combined modeling of Wuhan incidence with travel cases by et al. A couple things I particularly like here: 1. Data that the model is being fit to is clearly shown 2. R0 and mobility are not treated as constants

    Some scientists posted a that was flashy ("uncanny", "astonishing"), apparently not very careful, and wrong. Within hours, half a dozen experts commented that it was wrong and showed why it was wrong. This IS how it's supposed to work.

    To the left, you see a trained agent playing a level of a game. To the right, you see the same playthrough from an agent-centric perspective: cropped, translated, and rotated with the agent in the center. Which perspective is the best input for the agent?

    The uniform shift we found separates preparatory neural states (i.e., initial states) for seeding the local neural dynamics that would evolve in those regions of state space to produce distinct movements. This shift might thus reduce interference between multiple motor skills.

    Very happy to share our new preprint! Animals have a remarkable capacity to learn new motor skills, but how does learning change neural population dynamics underlying movement?

    Today we announce a novel, open-source method for text generation tasks (e.g., summarization or sentence fusion), which uses edit operations instead of generating text from scratch, leading to less errors and faster model execution. Read about it below.
