Build what you need and use what you build. This is a core philosophy of my research. It shifts the focus away from publishing “papers” to what really matters — impact. This thread unpacks why I think this is a successful approach to science. 1/10 Or see: perceiving-systems.blog/en/post/build-…

New paper!! We found a pattern in how NNs extrapolate: as inputs become more OOD, model outputs tend to go towards some “average”-like prediction. What is this “average”-like prediction? Why does this happen? Can we leverage this to better handle OOD inputs? (Spoiler: Yes!) 🧵:

@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman it's really good yea -- been thinking a lot about this recently, particularly about an idea to set up a laboratory for related experiments using current AI systems as a proxy, partly inspired by superalignment work. we don't yet have a full-fledged human molecularly annotated...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman ... connectome, dynamic activity recordings are still limited in scale, and even if all of these were taken care of emulating an human brain would still be prohibitively expensive. we can simulate many of the constraints that we'd face in the real world though, and try to...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman ... answer -- or at least inform -- many of these questions (to what degree can behavioral recordings act as a constraint for reconstruction? what about partial dynamic activity recordings? if access to a connectome is provided, what level of fidelity is required if paired...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman ... with other constraints for proper reconstruction? what does it even mean to have proper reconstruction?). another interesting side quest that I want to explore is the relevance of overparametrized models trained on similar data/more "merging with AI"-oriented scenarios
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman in particular, when anything like WBE becomes possible it's likely that human-level and plausibly superhuman-level AI will already have been developed. what kind of data do we need in order to successfully merge with a superhuman AI? how do we even operationalize success in...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman ... this context? all questions that seem hard to answer today with real world systems, but also all questions that we can reason about, operationalize and strive to answer by leveraging proxy in-silico ANNs, where we have access to the ground truth training data (lifetime...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman ... experiences), connectome (weights), dynamics (activations) etc. would be curious to hear what you think -- fairly related to the neural pretty printer that @anderssandberg and @robertlmcintyre discussed at last year's WBE workshop, but I guess seeking less biological...
@SumnerLN @patrickmineault @allisondman @anderssandberg @robertlmcintyre ... plausibility in exchange of some more tractability (and also with an increased focus on merging-with-AI scenarios, rather than WBE as usually imagined)
@patrickmineault Easier to do that after cleaning the screen! 😂
