DNNs can predict human similarity judgments—but why? In a new #XAI study, we introduce Alignment Importance Scores (AIS), a method that improves AI-human alignment and generates heatmaps highlighting the image features that drive this alignment. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

As a former NSF program director, I find it difficult to put into words the extent to which the content and tone of this memo go against the grain of anything and everything that defines merit-based review at NSF.

Interesting analyses from Hanson et al., the strain on scientific publishing. Many more articles, more special issues (namely Frontiers, MDPI), but stagnation in number of PHDs granted. "in 2022 the article total was ∼47% higher than in 2016". direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

If you think Bluesky is cool now, just wait until we start getting sophisticated feeds that curate cool papers, data, or code based on intelligent custom algorithms. This will become a second layer of scholarly communication.

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. 🤩 Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches. The best part: it's free. Link: vickiboykis.com/what_are_emb...

We've sent some recent work to venues with double-blind reviews. I find it's difficult to describe advances over our own prior work without breaking anonymization, and it produces Introductions that are vaguer than one would want for follow-up work. What strategies do you use?
