We demonstrate that SmartEM achieves up to a ~7-fold acceleration of image acquisition time for connectomic samples using a commercial single-beam SEM in samples from nematodes, mice, and the human brain.

This summer, I’m interning at @E11BIO in SF as an ML fellow! We'll further push my previous work on automated connectome proofreading. Let’s have coffee and chat about AI & vis for bio/neuro if you're in the area! Collab w/ @srinituraga 🧠 #connectomics #AI @Convergent_FROs

Very nice. Congrats @stardazed0 and team 👏
This year is the 10th anniversary of the Google Research’s Connectomics team! In celebration, today with @MCB_Harvard we’re publishing a 1.4 petabyte human brain connectome with 57k cells and 150M synapses in @ScienceMagazine → goo.gle/4a8SpWT & sites.research.google/neural…

I am feeling very happy that I could contribute to this massive research study. We added community-based proofreading with CAVE to this dataset. Everyone can edit/update the AI-generated automated segmentation. ➡️bit.ly/4dAPxoB @sdorkenw @fcollman JinhanChoi

Pardon my self-promotion! In my recent work, I measured how chatbots can drift away from its system prompts within 8 rounds of discourse. Then I introduced a training-free hack in the attention heads to help the model focus on privileged/system prompts. teapaw.org/ke_li_2021/status/1764…
Introducing the Instruction Hierarchy, our latest safety research to advance robustness for prompt injections and other ways of tricking LLMs into executing unsafe actions. More details: arxiv.org/abs/2404.13208
