Almost half of UK adults say that their busy lives stop them from connecting with other people. Let's change that. #LetsTalkMore.

Excited to share our new #BeMoreUs video featuring @MrAndyParsons. Together, we can #EndLoneliness
We have launched #LetsTalkMore to encourage people to make these small moments of connection happen more often. The next time you’re at a shopping centre, or waiting for a bus, put down your phone and look out for a chance to have a chat: bemoreus.org.uk/why-we-made-le… #EndLoneliness
We know that talking to strangers can be a bit intimidating. So we put together some handy hints and tips. It often starts with just a smile, or a simple 'Hello' bemoreus.org.uk/lets-talk-more… #BeMoreUs #LetsTalkMore
There are 9 million lonely people in the UK. We want that to change. And we can all play a part and help #EndLoneliness. Research shows that small moments of connection make a difference to lonely people. So #LetsTalkMore

Excited to share this new paper "Productivity, prominence, and the effects of academic environment" with @samfway @alliecmorgan and @DanLarremore, out today in @PNASnews pnas.org/content/early/… Here’s a little summary: 1/7
Previously, we showed how faculty at higher prestige departments tend to be much more productive. But, since faculty in prestigious departments also tend to hire prestigious PhDs, it's unclear which of these—PhD or faculty prestige—drives this higher productivity 2/7
Obviously, both PhD and faculty prestige could be important, so we needed a way to (1) control for PhD location to measure the effect of faculty prestige, and (2) control for faculty location to measure the effect of PhD prestige. This led us to use a matched-pair design 3/7

Excited to share our new work with @dbharathbhushan, @nicolas_courty & more: Wasserstein Adversarial Training for label noise arxiv.org/abs/1904.03936…. We extended the concept of virtual adversarial training with a Wasserstein loss to control the loss evolution between classes.
As shown in the previous figure, from the ground cost, one can control the loss evolution between classes with a Wasserstein loss. This is not possible with KL which is isotropic between classes. This control allows us to influence the classifier's decision boundary.
We can take advantage of it for label noise: between similar classes (red & orange classes) we want to have a complex boundary and set a high cost. And between non similar classes (orange/red & black) we want to have a simple boundary as it is probably noise and set a small cost.

Excited to share my new paper with Todd Hagen and Bob Wilson @NRDlab on suboptimalities in evidence accumulation and how they relate to pupil, now out in @NatureHumBehav rdcu.be/bqpDM
For simple perceptual decisions, previous work suggests that humans and animals can integrate evidence over time, but not optimally.
This suboptimality could arise from sources including: neuronal noise, weighting evidence unequally over time - 'integration kernel', previous trials effects, and an overall bias.

Excited to share our new work on learning from play!

We show a single agent, after self-supervising on 3 hours of play data, can generalize to 18 zero-shot manipulation tasks with 85% success.

interactive paper: learning-from-play.github.io
1/
We scale up multi-task skill learning by self-supervising control on top of teleoperated play. Play data is: 1) Cheap (can collect large amounts quickly with no reset or segmentation), 2) General (no predefined task distribution), 3) Rich (covers the interaction space).
2/
But all the variation can make learning difficult! We handle this by letting the agent recognize and organize play behaviors in a "latent plan space" for later reuse. We call this Play-LMP (play-supervised latent motor plans).

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Thanks to Trump's embassy move, #Nakba70 protests start a day early. Israeli army expects West Bank protests & 100,000 demonstrators in #Gaza, is preparing to use lethal force against them & again threatens to air bomb Gaza. 49 Palestinians killed & 9,545 wounded so far in Gaza
Here is a short #thread about the #Nakba
And here is my #thread about developments related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from yesterday
