Every generation has to rediscover catastrophic forgetting for themselves.
The models, they just want to learn (their current task and literally nothing else). Training a toy transformer on 3 digit addition, sorting, reversal and modular addition. Complete lobotomy at every task transition.

it sounds crazy but a university is the closest thing we have to a monastery. it’s a place where instead of worrying about a bazillion chores of adult life you get to exist in a state where thought can take place

Grateful to present at the EMBO Neuroscience of Sleep Workshop! Many thanks to @EMBO for the travel grant & this incredible opportunity. Amazing to connect with sleep scientists worldwide, studying sleep in everything from flies to sea lions, octopuses to reindeer, & beyond!
Rakshita Deshmukh from IIT Kanpur presented her work on the impact of N3 sleep on anxiety behaviours - supporting N3 sleep manipulation as a non-invasive and non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety-related cognitive dysfunctions. #EMBOneuroSleep

It was a pleasure to welcome Dr Rajiv Bahl, Secretary to Government of India, Department of Health Research and Director General, @ICMRDELHI, yesterday in @IITKanpur.  Faculty members, students & start-ups of IIT Kanpur participated in the meeting to discuss & display the ICMR funded projects & the flagship projects of Gangwal School of Medical Sciences & Technology (GSMST). Dr Bahl appreciated the innovations and discussed the ways of strengthening clinical validation of these innovations in collaboration with ICMR.  Myself  along with Prof S Ganesh, Professor Sandeep Verma, Prof A.R. Harish and Prof Amitabha Bandyopadhyay, Prof K Muralidhar and other faculty members, discussed on future possibilities of association and collaboration with ICMR, for strategizing the academics for the Medical school, and Bio design and Bioengineering research & Innovation in IIT Kanpur. @incubatorIITK

Now is an exciting time to be preparing a new open publishing platform (nmop.io). Feels like there's something in the air. We're finally reaching breaking point with big commercial publishers. 🎉 Hoping to start building it in earnest some time this year. 🤞
Neuroscientists shunning Elsevier, and Political Philosophers abandoning Wiley. Is the big 5 commercial publishing house of cards about to collapse? Where’s the free labour going to come from now? AI editors and reviewers? #EthicalPublishing

Presenting research poster at NIBS-EMBO workshop @cogsiitgn @EMBO Amazing workshop. Having a great time learning about brain stimulation.
Sharing some more #pictures from the poster presentation session during lunch! Glad to see the engagement between #research scholars and attendees of @EMBO @India_Alliance Non-invasive #brain stimulation lecture course. #cognition #research #posters #neuroscience

!!!! Ok I recorded a (new!) 2h25m lecture on "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd" youtube.com/watch?v=VMj-3S1t… . This is the culmination of about 8 years of obsessing about the best way to explain neural nets and backprop.
