2023-02-07 21:40:52 @RylanSchaeffer @ShahabBakht @markdhumphries @SussilloDavid @KhonaMikail Good point. It depends on what you want to do. If there are compositional new tasks in rich dynamic environments you can’t always learn from scratch, modularity helps.

2023-02-05 16:19:04 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher @PessoaBrain The humor is appreciated even though we disagree and of course all disagreements are expressed in a truth-seeking, collegial, and respectful spirit.

2023-02-05 16:11:17 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher Let’s be more specific. Who’s papers are you talking about that shows the emergence of dissociable function even though the architecture wasn’t modular to begin with? Since you responded without asking for references I’m wondering which actual work you’re basing your comment on.

2023-02-05 16:09:45 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher @PessoaBrain What do you mean function in the absence of structure? Are you saying you’re only willing to accept functional dissociation if you can infer it from structure?! How would you justify that assumption? That’s perhaps why you misunderstood the RNN point with architecture as well.

2023-02-05 15:45:22 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher @PessoaBrain I’m sorry but this comment doesn’t seem to have much to do with the evidence Nancy is talking about or the sorts of experimental evidence she mentioned. Let’s not confuse actual evidence with misrepresentation and overarching claims about amygdala. Not the same thing.

2023-02-05 15:31:24 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher Re RNNs: no, the point is that the functions emerge, it’s not about the architecture. It emerges due to the multiple tasks it’s trained on. Which work are you referring to?

2023-02-05 15:05:23 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher Thanks for your reply. We seem to disagree on fmri evidence But 1-even in RNNs there’s work showing the emergence of dissociable modular functions 2-As someone mentioned on Nancy’s thread, phylogenetically this is observed in other species too What’s the main counter evidence?

2023-02-05 14:04:16 @pcastr I believe David Lynch calls it lost highway. All sorts of crazy stuff goes on there. The laws of physics are suspended and the owls are not what they seem (yes that’s another reference but why not). https://t.co/gG6aFb6SZh

2023-02-05 13:58:27 @drmichaellevin Again, I say all this with utmost respect and enthusiasm for your xenobot work! Great work of interdisciplinary brilliance and innovation. My replies were only meant to clarify what i saw as potential concerns in your theoretical claims on the basis of the xenobot success. 2cents https://t.co/ZkSwygAIOo

2023-02-05 13:56:32 @drmichaellevin The halo effect may lead some to think if someone succeeded in A any Ts they held must be true. Eg religious folks who say Einstein used the word God &

2023-02-05 13:53:50 @drmichaellevin If the goal was not just to receive herd support, hope that the above points help in the way of your question. The engineering success of your xenobot doesn’t rely on or mean all your theoretical assumptions hold, theories are up for theoretical scrutiny. As to a halo effect 6/n

2023-02-05 13:47:57 @drmichaellevin E.g. assuming cells are conscious is not theoretically necessary for your xenobot successes, even if it was what motivated you. A theory needs comprehensive explanations of a host of existing phenomena that other theories don’t explain, novel predictions, targeted tests etc 5/n

2023-02-05 13:43:04 @C_A_Bakker @PessoaBrain @mljanderson @Nancy_Kanwisher I doubt any serious expert would believe Mike has done what you claim either.

2023-02-05 13:28:57 @PessoaBrain @C_A_Bakker @mljanderson @Nancy_Kanwisher That is indeed why I asked whether you yourself believe your data and models justify the claim about your work.

2023-02-05 13:27:07 @drmichaellevin 2- But imo that’s not the issue. At least at the learning salon you made overarching claims that are not necessary to support results nor systematically tested, because you assumed T1 when making successful work A, T1 has to be true. Now why is that inaccurate? 3/n

2023-02-05 13:03:47 @ar0mcintosh @blamlab @Nancy_Kanwisher Randy, respectfully what Nancy says in that thread is valid and there’s evidence for it. The paper does make invalid claims that are not justified by empirical findings. Are we agreed on that?

2023-02-05 12:55:33 @PessoaBrain @C_A_Bakker @mljanderson Thank you for your reply. Broadly I’m surprised at the magnitude of oddly confident inaccurate claims @Nancy_Kanwisher is receiving from non-experts. Why does it matter so much to them so much when it’s clearly not their expertise? Has Twitter just gotten even worse?

2023-01-06 18:13:37 @FoldMani I see, I think we may disagree on that. But overall it seems to me you use the term imagination in terms of understanding more than planning or counterfactuals.

2022-12-17 04:45:31 @neurosutras @ElDuvelle @HChateauLaurent Right. Rumination isn’t quite like that though. It’s usually a sequence played over and over. Not static.

2022-12-16 19:36:27 @rudzinskimaciej @aronowitzzz @KalinaChristoff I don't entirely understand your sentence, but conceptually seems you are in agreement with the above and are saying negative prediction error can lead the negative aspect of rumination?

2022-12-16 19:26:53 @rudzinskimaciej @aronowitzzz @KalinaChristoff Even in this case it seems like it's important for the network to have self-related negative valence, and there's still a difference between episodic vs. conceptual/semantic exploration around the experience.

2022-10-23 02:00:16 @NicoleCRust Hmmm we agree this is not about people but the actual contributions right? again no one denies influences decades ago, nor our own work at the intersection!

2022-10-22 17:23:44 @TonyZador @gershbrain Look, this again seems like a provocative misrepresentation of the views expressed. Time to leave, but:- I'm against "scale is all you need" (but some of your coauthors are pro)- I believe in basic research, even not knowing when/how it will contribute- I'm against overhyping

2022-10-22 15:48:14 @tsonj @summerfieldlab @TonyZador @KordingLab @gershbrain @NicoleCRust @pfau Haven't seen it, send a pdf?

2022-10-22 15:38:34 @TonyZador @summerfieldlab @KordingLab @gershbrain @NicoleCRust @pfau Those links are ancestral and not recent. That's what @summerfieldlab is pointing out as well, these are not strong recent direct links at all. The "neuro-inspired" criteria is so generous and archeological that at this point you could apply it to anything, like twitter.

2022-10-22 02:43:17 @neurograce @VenkRamaswamy @TonyZador @nidhi_s91 I genuinely hope CCN doesn’t become like a neurips offshoot :( I’d rather it not have “true AI”submissions tbh… imo we should keep some cog comp neuro conf hype-free and not give the impression to students that AI is the big city that small town CCN is dreaming of… just 2 cents

2022-10-22 00:43:31 @TonyZador @Abel_TorresM @summerfieldlab Yeah that’s what I meant by funding AND Industry money. Agree that this is more likely to get gov funding.

2022-10-21 21:40:36 @JMontijn @jorgefmejias @neurograce Computer science and ML papers at the most famous venues are salami slicing.

2022-10-21 21:38:57 @NeuroPolarbear @CharanRanganath @maureenritchey @eLife Not sure if journal name carries that much weight anymore tbh. I know a nature paper with famous names that has issues but still got published - probably because of the names.

2022-10-21 17:13:54 @CharanRanganath @eLife @maureenritchey Actually those are very important points. Your tweets are making me move the needle the other way again!

2022-10-20 22:25:36 @ayjreen Thanks for this tweet Adrian, means a lot to all your Iranian friends. Also hope you're better!

2022-10-20 17:33:28 @andpru @tyrell_turing @gershbrain @eLife IMO filtering flawed work in some way to avoid promoting it is important. Otherwise, it allows for - invites even - gaming the system. I disagree that that's the best use of time, it can promote attention seekers' papers.

2022-10-20 16:00:26 @ShahabBakht @tyrell_turing @gershbrain @eLife You're optimistic! A well written trolling paper can hit the precise balance to provoke writing a review.

2022-10-20 15:53:29 Oh appreciate @tyrell_turing ‘s comments on @gershbrain’s comments on @eLife ‘s new policy. But I gotta say, I worry that this may promote trolling papers: writing papers wrong enough to provoke reviewers to review them. https://t.co/dYoxUJR79q

2022-10-20 15:17:04 @neurograce Ok that makes sense, so this is more attention than an auditory saccade like the other solution.

2022-10-20 15:06:31 @neurograce hmmm interesting. Would it however, not be consistent with the effect of adding saccades to earlier layers of CNNs for robustness to adversarial images?

2022-10-20 13:55:40 @nzokaei Yup. Much lack of self-awareness and a sense of narcissism that needs to center their “rage” above women- who are actually leading all this.They had millennia to fix the patriarchy, but chose to benefit from the privileges it gives them. clearly this is a woman’s job.

2022-09-26 18:50:07 @neurograce @anika_loewe @SaxeLab That is the reason to require an IRB for the research before it’s done though. To assess whether there’s a plan in place for development of healing algorithms, ones appropriate to the data and domain, and there’s a good plan for data citation to avoid imbalanced/biased training.

2022-09-26 18:48:35 @neurograce @anika_loewe @SaxeLab Actually most AI is used for applications that regard humans directly or indirectly. @jennwvaughan has a lot of work on this and there’s constant discussions whether we should IRB for AI, including the plan to ensure lack of bias (which would apply to any use of AI really).

2022-09-07 00:59:03 @knight_psych @NicoleCRust @PessoaBrain @bradpwyble @hugospiers I’m actually precisely worried about this approach letting behaviorism and its associated web of concepts and meanings to sneak in. It’s a nuanced and Theoretically rich worry, not saying Luiz (whose name my iPhone keeps turning to Luis) is a card carrying behaviorist of course.

2022-09-07 00:49:40 @knight_psych @NicoleCRust @PessoaBrain Thanks for sharing your take. That's not how I read the paper, its title, nor Luiz's comments.

2022-09-06 17:23:54 @bradpwyble @PessoaBrain @hugospiers @NicoleCRust I think we all consider behavior as important, that’s not a radical view. The issue is: why get rid of mental notions? For who’s benefit? I guess we will have to wait for Luis’s response :)

2022-09-06 17:03:27 @bradpwyble @PessoaBrain @hugospiers @NicoleCRust Wait what’s just itself? Tolman could explain behavior AND cognitive maps with just behavioral experiments, without denying or rejecting mental states. Watson said his goal was control not ‘explanation’. the late 20th century eliminative materialism project was abandoned as well.

2022-09-06 15:53:41 @NicoleCRust @PessoaBrain The best approach possible! That's why I appreciate your question so much :)

2022-09-06 15:38:33 @NicoleCRust @PessoaBrain Thank you for that comment Nicole! Erasing mental states is the hallmark of Watson's behaviorism that was criticized by the likes of Tolman (even a cognitive map was radical for that view). It's also a rather dangerously regressive intellectual/theoretical move.

2022-08-17 17:54:21 @livcomp Kudos, you give talks in difficult mode!

2022-08-17 17:29:57 @JohnKubie I hear you. In medieval Iranian philosophy the notion of knowledge by presence, and the importance of presence in transfer of ways of knowing was a big deal, IMO understated aspect of human interactions in the process of knowledge making and acquisition.

2022-08-17 17:28:47 @livcomp I agree with your intuition, but it may be a balance of stage anxiety vs. inner critique. I prefer live organic talks, my inner critique's judging of the recording is paralyzing–far worse than the anxiety of an audience. But I can see it could be the other way around for others.

2022-08-10 18:05:15 @EugeneVinitsky @WiringTheBrain Well said!

2022-08-10 18:04:27 @bbenzon @EugeneVinitsky @WiringTheBrain It’s Great work!

2022-08-10 16:54:52 @WiringTheBrain Yes it went against many ideas and if you compare to Descartes, Kant etc as well as neuroscientists who focus exclusively on the brain, it’s revolutionary.

2022-08-10 16:53:20 @WiringTheBrain @EugeneVinitsky It is.

2022-08-10 16:35:28 @WiringTheBrain Yes it says all of your cognitive capacities are not inside your head. There are things outside that you use as a part of your cognition. It’s not a trivial statement given how much psychologists study brains or individuals vs ecologies of humans and nature and tools.

2022-08-10 16:24:18 @PessoaBrain @WiringTheBrain lol there are so many examples of how animals use SO MUCH of their ecology so they don't need to use brain or representations to compute every single everything, as well as tools, but ok. https://t.co/90zxI6asol

2022-08-10 16:21:00 @WiringTheBrain Because internalism vs externalism were actual debates in philosophy with a long history both about minds and about meaning?

2022-08-10 15:54:37 @WiringTheBrain It means your cell phone is extending your memory from just your brain into your contacts, and your “mind”’s capacities are extended when you have a pen and paper in ways that your mind can’t progress on many tasks the same without a pen and paper.

2022-08-10 15:42:28 @tyrell_turing @sir_deenicus @FelixHill84 Great way to address misunderstanding Blake! You’re setting a great example for well intended discussion on a challenging medium of meaning :-)

2022-08-10 15:25:16 @sir_deenicus @tyrell_turing @FelixHill84 To clarify, when I say internal I don’t mean something like the beetle box or private language that cannot be communicated to others. I agree with Blake on that.

2022-08-10 15:24:00 @tyrell_turing @sir_deenicus @FelixHill84 I read the message as something simpler, I thought the question as “are you saying no meaning is in the head?” Vs the beetle box argument. Maybe I read wrong?

2022-08-10 15:22:36 @sir_deenicus @tyrell_turing @FelixHill84 Yes that’s a given, not the point of the debate. The point is over whether meaning can be *exclusively* relations among words. Everyone including Wittgenstein &

2022-08-10 15:19:20 @BaselessPursuit When in doubt remember we’re friends who bond over jokes

2022-08-10 15:16:23 @tyrell_turing That’s fair, but having one premise in common doesn’t mean partially aligned because whole his not just sum of parts: the wholes are total opposites!

2022-08-10 15:15:40 @tyrell_turing Actually I agree with both parts lol

2022-08-10 15:15:19 @tyrell_turing I think I see your broader point that TLP cares more about relations but there is no “meaningful” partial aligning when the pictorial theory requires truth outside in the world, completely opposite! All philosophies that have one premise in common are not partially aligned :-)

2022-08-10 15:11:38 @tyrell_turing I agree w the last part of your statement there.

2022-08-10 15:11:11 @tyrell_turing You can’t pick one part of a theory w/o the other! I don’t get your insistence on this so once again: if you say “there’s a tree in the yard”, TLP would say it’s a picture of the world that is only true IFF there’s a tree in the yard. This paper simply doesnt require that.

2022-07-25 23:05:07 @blamlab @DLBarack @gualtieropicc @apdemetriou We may differ a little there, it’s not just limited to language, it’s not just the stuff that graduates one day to language, but non-linguistic forms of higher order thought, some of which never become verbalized but still influence and shape decisions, affect, thought, behavior.

2022-07-25 19:38:35 @CharanRanganath You could do more classic with Harry Frankfurt’s 2005 “On bullshit” based on an old essay. I cite this in conversations often.https://t.co/OWNnWszWJW

2022-07-25 17:11:14 @blamlab @DLBarack @gualtieropicc @apdemetriou True, it also doesn’t need to follow the constrains of natural language. I think for most of us this is the concern. No need for the constraints of natural language and grammar.

There’s an MSR researcher in Redmond who’s done great work on CNNs and adversarial work btw.

2022-06-23 21:10:29 @tyrell_turing @josephdviviano There are adversarial examples for humans. If we can't see, RT difference is trivial. Does your H fit w existing evidence?

2022-06-23 17:34:00 @tyrell_turing There’s already behavioral work showing there are adversarial examples for humans. The challenge for the claim that CNNs are visual cortex like has been, and remains to show accuracy and errors as humans on the same adversarial stimuli. Not subhuman nor superhuman performance.

2022-06-23 16:10:06 We also tested whether these SAPIENS findings scale, comparing multi-agent topologies with n= 2, 6, 10, 20, and 50 agent, &

2022-06-23 16:10:05 We proposed metrics of shared experience1. Conformity Ct : % of agents in a group that followed the same trajectory in a given evaluation trial2. Average Diversity D ̄t (mnemonic metric): n of unique experiences in the replay buffer of an agent, averaged over all agents9/n https://t.co/zpiMSYRl6m

2022-06-23 16:10:03 We systematically designed networks of DQNs sharing experiences from their replay buffers in varying topologies:fully connectedsmall worldringdynamicComparing the level of innovation achieved by different experience-sharing topologies across different tasks shows that:7/n https://t.co/oHzJZgyJMe

2022-06-23 16:10:01 We defined 3 innovation tasks- Single path: 1 path to innovation- Merging paths: merging paths from different sets of base elements yields most rewards- Best-of-ten paths: 10 innovation paths are possible, one yields most rewards* Each path has base elements {x1, x2, x3}6/n https://t.co/RpbMoz6s7L

2022-06-23 16:10:00 We used a multi-level hierarchical problem setting (WordCraft) w 3 innovation tasksEach task had an initial set of elements (e.g. Earth, Water)Some elements can be combined to make new elementsCreating a new element moves player one innovation level higher, gives a reward5/n https://t.co/N9LYcsWTcP

2022-06-23 16:09:59 So the role of multi-agent *topology* on innovation has not been systematically studied in machine learning.

2022-06-16 17:27:29 @CharanRanganath Thank you for asking! Never been so happy to be Negative! Still mild coughs (especially at night), sinus congestion, and getting winded easier than before but (knocks wood) no brain fog. I hear some relapse 5-10 days after testing negative, but hoping it won’t happen to me.

2022-06-16 17:18:02 @nidhi_s91 I recall a paper that showed the same verbal theory could lead to four different models with different predictions but can’t remember who wrote it. Mathematical models are also often multiply realizable at the code level without the same prediction. Important area to work on.

2022-06-15 00:42:55 @spiantado I didn’t find the rest of your thread unreasonable, I am not seeing how you link it to the discussion about sentience. I’d understand if it’s a click strategy but IMHO it seems misleading in that you don’t explicitly say your view on the sentience claim but you reference it x2.

2022-06-15 00:40:16 @spiantado You are contesting your view with the “nonsense” response, which is not about “meaning” but it’s explicitly about the *sentience* claim.Does it not seem a bit confused to address that discourse as a dissenting voice but say you’re not talking about it? Then why cite that debate? https://t.co/sD1BMD1lHm

2022-06-15 00:27:39 @spiantado How is it not relevant to your tweet in which you cited the conversation of LaMDA and Lemoine as worth reading, as a part of your related Twitter thread?

2022-06-14 00:25:00 @tyrell_turing @mkturkcan IMHO that’s not helpful honestly. Ontological or not, there’s a meaningful way in which a dog and myself are sentient but a code that simply prints “I am sentient” is not. Period. No need to twist ourselves around words.

2022-06-13 14:34:07 @tyrell_turing Hmmm a bit unreasonable.Let me insist: unless you are somewhat panpsychism-inclined, there is a meaningful and clear way in which a chair or a piece of coding just printing “I’m sentient” simply and unquestionably are not sentient, but a dog is.

2022-06-13 14:04:02 @tyrell_turing Not sure how considering a chair borderline conscious rejects panpsychism

2022-06-13 13:25:24 @tyrell_turing Isn’t that panpsychism if my chair or a code that just prints “don’t kill me i am sentient” could be considered border cases?

2022-06-13 13:15:08 @tyrell_turing There are clear moments where you can say something is not sentient, e.g. my chair. Although if you're a panpsychist you may be skeptical about the sentience of my chair as well.

2022-06-05 17:21:23 @KJakePatten Agreed. Not that all philosophers need to learn this, but IMO those who make claims about psychological or scientific findings could wildly misunderstand and misconstrue the points without understanding the units of scientific discourse.

2022-06-05 15:52:59 What worries me abt some (not all) analytic philosophers discussing neuro/psych is using a single example/quote to overgeneralize.Similarly, some overgeneralize a banal statement by a scientist instead of understanding evidence/stats in scientific research.Recipe for crosstalk?

2022-05-29 23:23:29 @UlyssesPascal @shengokai @alexhanna @__TweetinChar__ Yes I noted fisher above too. I agree that these 3 figures behind contemporary statistics were eugenicists. Not sure if that makes the philosophy or practice of statistics eugenicist. Not opposing your hypothesis, just expressing that this mental leap in not trivial for me.

2022-05-29 21:00:13 @UlyssesPascal @shengokai @alexhanna @__TweetinChar__ Yes I’m aware, he wasn’t alone, Fisher and others too. but The birth of statistics is often dated to 1662… which is why I’m confused about the idea that “statistics was made for eugenics”, everyone only mentions these twentieth century figures from all history of the discipline.

2022-05-28 16:44:34 @infoxiao The other way around :) I’m elaborating why an absolute way of looking at AI generated art (“this changes everything” type arguments) loses hype if you adopt a long horizon perspective on various artistic practices over thousands of years across the world &

2022-05-28 16:31:06 @infoxiao I agree that there’s much insight to be gained by thinking about algorithmically generated art. But I’d argue that many such interesting insights are really about cognitive models of our minds, IMO poor ones at that. Mechanization of artistic creation defeats its purposes.

2022-05-28 16:27:04 @infoxiao Agreed, but AI generated is not even the most interesting mirror - by any means. It has mechanistically interesting insights but if you look at various practices of art over millennia, this mirror loses its novelty or insights that reveal sth abt or add meaning to the world-fast.

2022-05-28 16:24:05 @infoxiao I addressed this in my other tweet (below). Nothing wrong with what you say, but it’s just the most recent in a long series of ways we humans use art to reflect on ourselves. Arguably not even the most interesting one, but one that has some mechanistically interesting processes. https://t.co/iSFnbcAWYH

2022-05-28 16:19:42 @infoxiao From this standpoint, any AI generated art is at best one among many ancient and modern ways in which art reveals something about ourselves. A new kind of mirror. Nothing more.

2022-05-28 16:17:30 @infoxiao How come? Art made by humans is not about the outcome, but the human psychological, symbolic, emotional processing that people put into it. Creating an artifact for the outcome is different from one that reveals sth about being human, a change that happens in the maker &

2022-05-27 16:35:36 @AthenaAkrami Oh wow! Is the lack of antibody production in principle considered predictive of who gets long covid and who won’t? Say I get vaccinated and test for antibodies in a month, can I estimate how likely I am to get long covid if exposed?

2022-05-27 16:15:26 Serious question, should we ask for recent antibody test instead of proof of vaccination? Say I took one recently and it was negative for antibodies. Does my immune system still remember the vaccinations? Even if so I would be more exposed than someone with antibodies in a crowd.

2022-05-27 15:13:08 @MilekPl @gershbrain @DrSueSchneider There are many Turing tests for various domains, none qualifies for “human level” AI in a domain general way.

2022-05-24 14:34:45 @BernardJBaars Consciousness is not necessary for memory encoding nor retrieval.

2022-10-23 02:40:12 @neuroetho @NicoleCRust Not sure how else to say this, You can use my own papers too if you need more examples of neuro inspired models or AI *existing*. The point is: most advances are not driven by neuro. Neuro is not leading/not the common approach. in practice most contemporary AI doesn’t use it.

2022-10-23 02:00:16 @NicoleCRust Hmmm we agree this is not about people but the actual contributions right? again no one denies influences decades ago, nor our own work at the intersection!

2022-10-22 02:43:17 @neurograce @VenkRamaswamy @TonyZador @nidhi_s91 I genuinely hope CCN doesn’t become like a neurips offshoot :( I’d rather it not have “true AI”submissions tbh… imo we should keep some cog comp neuro conf hype-free and not give the impression to students that AI is the big city that small town CCN is dreaming of… just 2 cents

2022-10-22 00:43:31 @TonyZador @Abel_TorresM @summerfieldlab Yeah that’s what I meant by funding AND Industry money. Agree that this is more likely to get gov funding.

2022-10-21 21:40:36 @JMontijn @jorgefmejias @neurograce Computer science and ML papers at the most famous venues are salami slicing.

2022-10-21 21:38:57 @NeuroPolarbear @CharanRanganath @maureenritchey @eLife Not sure if journal name carries that much weight anymore tbh. I know a nature paper with famous names that has issues but still got published - probably because of the names.

2022-10-21 17:13:54 @CharanRanganath @eLife @maureenritchey Actually those are very important points. Your tweets are making me move the needle the other way again!
