Continual learning is the next big thing in AI. Today’s deep networks show catastrophic forgetting where new data points cause old knowledge to get erased because backpropagation updates all weights in a network, causing old useful info to be overwritten. Contrast this with brain - it doesn’t do backpropagation. no global updates, only local updates with each new data point. The day we have a credible alternative to backpropagation is the day we will solve continual learning. It’s an exciting time to be doing AI research!

visited Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. It’s in Japan, but it doesn’t feel like Japan at all. I want to be a Ph.D. student here.

It's wild how diverse my old-school homies have become: from great baristas to writers and athletes.

@hadivafaii @NeurIPSConf I really enjoyed reading your work; it helped me a lot with understanding variational inference in the brain. I hope we can have a discussion soon in the future🤞

I will be at @NeurIPSConf Dec 2-8 to present our "Brain-like Variational Inference" paper👇 Let's connect if you enjoy first-principles thinking and brain-inspired AI 🧠🤖 Poster info: 📅 Wed, Dec 3, 11 AM — 2 PM 📍 Exhibit Hall C,D,E #500 🔗 neurips.cc/virtual/2025/l… 🧵[1/3]

Elegant theoretical derivations are exclusive to physics. Right?? Wrong! In a new preprint, we: ✅"Derive" a spiking recurrent network from variational principles ✅Show it does amazing things like out-of-distribution generalization 👉[1/n]🧵 w/ co-lead @dekelgalor & Jake Yates

در طول بیش از ۱۸۰ سال تاریخ روزنامه‌نگاری ایران و از زمان #کاغذ_اخبار میرزا صالح تا به امروز، هرگز از جایگاه خبرنگاری چنین هتک حرمتی نشده بود که این جماعت ویژه‌خوار با عمل خود و بدتر از آن طلبکاری و ادبیات سخیف خویش، به این پیشه شریف لطمه وارد ساختند‌. یاد بزرگان این وادی گرامی.

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

Gemini Nano Banana Pro can solve exam questions *in* the exam page image. With doodles, diagrams, all that. ChatGPT thinks these solutions are all correct except Se_2P_2 should be "diselenium diphosphide" and a spelling mistake (should be "thiocyanic acid" not "thoicyanic") :O

Two years ago, I traveled to Turkey just to take the Academic IELTS (it wasn’t available in Iran) so I could apply for a PhD. After all the challenges that have followed, from the US visa process to everything in between, I remain hopeful, seeing how far I’ve come.
