Soooo Twitter doing its things again and I’m wondering if we’re really moving here for good or not.

Problem: people always ask “what would Jesus do/say” or disagree on what would Jesus think about controversial topics.

Modern solution: fine-tune a language model on everything Jesus have said and literally ask the fucking question. Finally we’ll get to know what would Jesus do in 2023.

Got any tips for last year PhD students who prefer to stay in academia? 🥺

To my machine vision friends on mastodon, is there a way to visualize what each filter is *generating* in a GAN? Sort of like what it's done in CNNs that gives us images like below. I found two papers doing some interesting things by e.g., removing filters that add trees to images so the generated image without them is treeless. Still, you don’t get to see what a filter did for a generated image.

Everything is so interesting why don’t I have more time. I need to have at least 100 hours per day to spend enough time learning stuff I want to learn.

My background is humanities -> clinical psychology -> cognitive neuroscience and now computational neuroscience. Throughout my PhD I learned a lot of techniques and analytical tools but I always felt like they’re scattered pieces and I have little insight when it comes to the mathematics of them. A few days ago I found an online YouTube course by Steve Brunton and every video is just pure insight. Everything makes sense and finally after all these years I’m looking forward to equations! If you also struggle (and feel it’s too late to ask!), give it a try:

I was on the fence about Mastodon until I joined a server instance that I feel belong to. It makes a huge difference I don’t know how to explain but everything is more familiar!

Here's a proper #introduction since I moved to a new instance:

I'm Kayson, academically speaking a Ph.D. student at the institute of computational neuroscience in Hamburg. I'm interested in causation in neuroscience and I use ANNs as models. My main focus so far is to see how each node in a neural network contributes to the network's function.

Academia aside, I also compose soundtracks under the name of "Anxious Monkey" and do graphic design for the fun of it. You can read more about me here:

I love it here in the new instance.
