Can vision transformers learn something useful when you randomly shuffle it's layers during training? Turns out they can! We present "LayerShuffle: Enhancing Robustness in Vision Transformers by Randomizing Layer Execution Order" 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2407.04513

Unlocking the potential of smartphones to better understand human behavior across diverse populations and countries! 📱🤔 This new study explores complex activity recognition using multimodal sensors. 🌎🏋️‍♀️ #chi2023 Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2302.08591… @sigchi @ubicomp @AiCultures

And here are some explorations on the lines of bacon and cholesterol.

I have been playing with #stablediffusion through Viktor Orban, and how Hungary is planning to log the national forests to protect the #rezsicsökkentés

AI will make the creation of technically excellent art available to the masses. What does this mean to current artists? Do artists become extinct? NO, I would argue. A short thread… 🧵

📢 Looking for current research on #HCI + #AI? Here's a collection of 50+ #CHI2022 preprints. As last year, I've collected them via twitter and arXiv. Suggestions welcome! dbuschek.medium.com/chi22-preprint…

Want to read an insane tenure denial story? I was denied tenure at MIT in 2018. I was the only Hispanic faculty at my department, had 13k+ citations, 2 books, & papers in Nature, Science, & PNAS. I was never given a reason & the only letter I got told me to check the website./1🧵

I dig reading old public-domain books from the 19th/18th centuries. So I made a little search tool *specifically* for that You type a query, it finds you one book that matches it -- and presents it for instant reading Behold the "Weird Old Book Finder": clivethompson.medium.com/a-search-engin…

I had a blast giving this new talk - "The Good Web" - at @cmuhcii last week. My CMU friends have put up an excellent version of the video online if you didn't get a chance to see it live: scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/…

Holy shit Quebecs anti-jaywalking billboards don't fuck around 😳

Ok technically my holiday has started, but I thought it'd be fun to do a @threadapalooza on programming and all the things I have thought about over the past year! Let's see how close I can get to a hundred opinions and thoughts about programming & education! (1/100)

I'm fascinated with pixray.gob.io/text2pixel/. couple of prompts I tried: star wars monkeys | friendly software guys drink cocktails and smoke joints #8bit #pixelart | 8bit dinosaurs by frida kahlo | space cowboys #8bit

@EckelMusic friendly software guys drink cocktails and smoke joints #8bit #pixelart | star wars monkeys | 8bit dinosaurs by frida kahlo

Simply in awe of #Pixray text2pixel. My prompt: "Waluigi stung by a swarm of bees at Dunkin Donuts" I'd love to see what results others get from this. pixray.gob.io/text2pixel/

It’s 2021. Why is this still a thing.

@kortuem I said "lifehack". I believe in giving credits to the implicit learnings and lifehacks that actually count for my daily sanity :)

Hope this wasn’t the only thing you learned from over the course of your PhD ;-)

Today’s zine is about how capitalism is a trap.

The main lifehack I learned from my phd supervisor @kortuem was that one can use Apple Pages (with tracking changes!) for .docx files without the pains of MS Word. I'm still amazed how performant Pages is compared to that other one.
