@HopfieldJohn and @geoffreyhinton, along with collaborators, have created a beautiful and insightful bridge between physics and AI. They invented neural networks that were not only inspired by the brain, but also by central notions in physics such as energy, temperature, system dynamics, energy barriers, the role of randomness and noise, connecting the local properties, e.g., of atoms or neurons, to global ones like entropy and attractors. And they went beyond the physics to show how these ideas could give rise to memory, learning and generative models; concepts which are still at the forefront of modern AI research. Their ideas inspired me so profoundly that I decided to choose learning in neural networks for my own research as a graduate student. They motivated me to look for abstract principles that could be as simple as the laws of physics, but could explain biological as well as artificial intelligence. I'm truly delighted for them and for our field.


At @ArrowMarkets, we are always pushing the technology frontier. When designing a margin system, we did our homework. Check out our work on the state of the art for margin systems: drive.google.com/file/d/1y_113s…

Argentina's inflation is converging to 2% (the rate of peso depreciation in the stabilization plan). No price controls whatsoever. If this works, it will be the first successful stabilization attempt based on crude fiscal discipline that I remember.


Archers 👀 We will be joining @MarioNawfal later today for a Twitter Space at 4:30 PM ET to talk about DeFi, trading, options, and more 🫡 Set a reminder and tune in 👇 twitter.com/i/spaces/1YpKk…


Sorry about the suddent ending, looks like we just crashed @MarioNawfal countdown space! 😮 Catch the recording 👇🎙️




I'm proud to announce that my team and I will be presenting our work on Koopman-Assisted RL at the #NeurIPS2023 AI4Science Workshop. It will be on Saturday, Dec 16 from 2:20-2:25 PM CST in Hall C2. We will also be at the poster session, so please check us out! 🧵1/4
