@brightclayapp @henrythe9ths Seems like it cannot directly access your returns and forms, but rather things like a tax estimate, filing checklist and "connect with an expert"

@henrythe9ths Bit too later but next year for sure!

Tax season is here and a connector is all it takes to make @claudeai way more useful. Checkout what we just shipped: Connect TurboTax or Aiwyn Tax (formerly Column Tax) to Claude to estimate your refund, see what you may owe, and get a better understanding on the forms before you file.

Does an LLM have an internal representation of truth? Yes... but it is more limited than previously assumed. E.g., counting how many (out of 3) cities are in the same country can significantly degrade truth representations. New preprint with @mcrovella and Evimaria Terzi🧵

Amazing work led by my student @gvsfranco - new insight about model behavior leading to a better way to trace circuits

Can we identify the key signals moving between attention heads when a language model performs a task? Our paper (arxiv.org/abs/2410.00340) offers new tools for this question. A key point of leverage is a new phenomenon we expose: sparse attention decomposition. Exploiting this effect we can isolate low-dimensional signals implementing communication between attention heads. We show that extracted signals have a predictable causal impact on model performance.

The most retweeted spatial omics preprint in our search this past week: twitter.com/GiottoSpatial/… Congrats @GiottoSpatial @RnDries @gc_yuan labs! 💪🙌🧵 3/5

Take a look at our new Giotto Suite spatial analysis platform and preprint! So grateful to work with such an amazing team. We started working on this massive project when I started my lab at @BUMedicine and @The_BMC in August 2020. Amazing collaboration with @gc_yuan lab.

Welcome to CDS @trgardos! Thomas Gardos joined @BU_Tweets Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences as an assoc. prof. of the practice & the inaugural dir. of the MS in #DataScience Program in October. Learn about his 30-year career & his vision for the MSDS. bit.ly/3sACAIX

This is my favorite headline from the year!

This semester, CDS proudly welcomed its 3rd cohort of PhD students & its 1st class of MS in Data Science students. "Their varied experiences will be a great asset to the interdisciplinary nature of #DataScience & CDS," Micah Sieber, Dir. Academic Programs. bit.ly/3PMZupe

We celebrated the 40th birthday of our department today ⁦@BU_Tweets⁩ ⁦@BUCompSci⁩ Thanks to all attendees: our alumni, friends, faculty and students 🎂🎉

Congrats and well done! 25 years ago the entire field of Internet Measurement (what we at that time called "Internet Measurement, Instrumentation, & Characterization") was born @BU_Tweets! Great to see the legacy of team @mcrovella continue, now extending to the use of ML & AI.

One day and a wake up! These @BU_Tweets CDS faculty and many more ➕➕ are ready for the first day of classes and are looking forward to the fall 2023 semester ahead! 📸📸 #TerrierTown #ProudToBU #CDSsitsteps #community

Great work on the Learning from Label Proportions problem by @gvsfranco and @gcomarela

Our paper,  "Digital routes and borders in the Middle East: the geopolitical underpinnings of Internet connectivity", published in Territory, Politics, Governance, Volume 11 Issue 6, is now available to access tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to our BU CS class of 2023🎉 ⁦@BU_Tweets⁩ ⁦@BUCompSci⁩

Congrats to Profs. Jennifer Balakrishnan, Tereasa Brainerd, Anna Devor, and Kate Saenko on their recent promotion to Full Professors! They are all incredible researchers and academics and BU is lucky to have them! #BostonUniversity #WomenInSTEM
