UNIfication enables PFDA by activating protocol fees. PFDA internalizes MEV through auctioned fee discounts. Complementary approaches push this further by doing MEV inference and resolution in-transaction - making backruns and JIT routing atomic, deterministic, and no longer block-level MEV.

Presenting our #NeurIPS2025 work on model–behavior alignment today. Could we even recognize the “right” model of behavior under flexible evaluation? Come chat about DNNs & human visual perception! Hall C-E #2010 Friday (today!) 4:30 – 7:30 PM neurips.cc/virtual/2025/l…

@avitanit will be presenting at #NeurIPS2025 today! If you're interested in how neural network representations may capture (or appear to capture...) human perceptual judgments, come say hi and chat! Fri, Dec 5, 2025 • 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM PST Exhibit Hall C-E #2010

I gradually realized just how lucky I was to have an advisor with such first reaction Let us protect our community together

Kudos to our NeurIPS 2025 reviewers for thoughtful, human-generated reviews. I’ll be presenting poster #2010 in San Diego on Fri, 5 Dec from 4:30–7:30 p.m. PT. Come say hi! arXiv : arxiv.org/abs/2510.23321 Code and data: github.com/brainsandmachi…

Our work reveals a sharp trade-off between predictive accuracy and model identifiability. Flexible mappings maximize predictivity, but blur the distinction between competing computational hypotheses.

Excited to share my first paper: Model–Behavior Alignment under Flexible Evaluation: When the Best-Fitting Model Isn’t the Right One (NeurIPS 2025). link below.

We’re hiring in my dept. (IEM @ Ben-Gurion Univ.)! Tenure-track faculty opening in Robotics, Data/ML, Info Systems, Stats, Production Systems, or Human Factors. bgu.ac.il/media/wwfbuchx… Please repost 🙏

Curious what work will be presented at this year's CCN conference? All accepted posters and papers are now listed on our website! 2025.ccneuro.org/poster-session…
