Tai-Danae Bradley

@ArlenysBuckelew @OrdinaryWith Thank you so much for having me! 🤍

Had a wonderful time doing this interview today with @math3ma on @OrdinaryWith Coming soon!

How does a habit of asking good questions turn into a career in math and science communication? In this episode of AQtive Minds, Tai-Danae Bradley shares her career journey, from growing up curious, to discovering the beauty of physics, to bridging ideas between quantum, mathematics, and AI. She also reflects on why simplicity can unlock profound ideas and how tools from physics are shaping the future of language models and AI-driven drug discovery. Her story is a great reminder that there’s no single path into science, and that curiosity and communication are just as powerful as equations.

Here's the preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2412.17772

Not too long ago, my collaborators and I wrote a preprint on the problem of uploading classical data onto a quantum computer, from a more mathematical (& category theoretical) perspective. I finally got around to blogging about the ideas. New series is up! math3ma.com/blog/what-is-a…

The mathematician Tai-Danae Bradley is using category theory to try to understand how words come together to make meaning. Read Joseph Howlett’s interview: quantamagazine.org/where-does-mea…

@anomalieplus Hi, thank you for the nice note! Feel free to drop me an email - my email address is at the top of my webpage: math3ma.com/about

If you ever feel like sending a few words of encouragement or advice to them, I know it would mean a great deal — both to them and to me.

@math3ma Dear Dr. Bradley, I hope this message finds you well. I’m a middle school mathematics teacher in France, currently working with a class of sixth graders (around 11–12 years old).

@LearningPaolo Thank you!

@math3ma I love your blog! Happy 10th birthday 🎉

10 years ago today, I launched the Math3ma blog. At the time, I wasn’t sure the site would resonate with anyone, but I’ve been amazed by all that’s happened over the past decade! To celebrate, here’s a new post on category theory and language models 🥳math3ma.com/blog/magnitude…

@BarbaraFantechi Thank you!

@math3ma Happy blogbirthday!

@LearningPaolo Thanks!

@math3ma I really like your expository style, and I miss your blog posts about different topics in math 🙂

Okay sure, here's a thread on our preprint 🧵arxiv.org/abs/2501.06662 It's a blend of two existing ideas in category theory: 1) magnitude and 2) a (generalized) metric space associated to an LLM. I'll say a little about each, and how we relate them.... 1/

We wrote our preprint to (hopefully) be self-contained, so you don't really need to know about category theory to follow it. But hopefully this thread is a little helpful, too. 19/19

Oh, and so far, there are 100+ papers on magnitude, which is pretty neat. Tom Leinster is keeping track on his website — check out more here! maths.ed.ac.uk/~tl/magbib/ And here: golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2024/… 18/
