Alaska Weather Office Issues Its First Heat Warning Forecasters said it might hit 85 degrees in Fairbanks this weekend. The Weather Service has changed how it issues warnings there.

The National Weather Service issued its first-ever heat advisory in Alaska on Friday.

What is the probability of an image? What do the highest and lowest probability images look like? Do natural images lie on a low-dimensional manifold?
In a new preprint with Zahra Kadkhodaie and @eerosim.bsky.social, we develop a novel energy-based model in order to answer these questions: 🧵

Fantastic news- congratulations Adrienne!!

Me narrating in front of iPad with microphone

And that's a wrap - my narration for Elusive Cures is complete.

From that intense read, I saw how personal this book is. It's a science book, but also my own story as a scientist, grappling with some of the biggest questions. And in that pursuit, reconnecting with optimism about our shared future.

I think easier/cleaner to derive SURE from Tweedie (both of which generalize to many other noise models):

CCN’s NeuroRSE Group Hosts Two Software Workshops The Center for Computational Neuroscience recently hosted workshops to teach scientists how to analyze neuroscience data with new software tools.

The NeuroRSE group at #FlatironCCN recently hosted two software workshops on analyzing #neuroscience data using new software tools @pynapple.bsky.social and NeMoS. The next workshop will take place at SfN this November. Read more: www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/02/25/c... #science

Horace Barlow, by all accounts, was thinking about 30 years ahead of his time. Here is a transcript of the opening keynote I gave at a symposium honoring Horace's scientific legacy: markusmeister.com/2024/12/14/h....

How do interneurons reshape neural responses? I'm excited to present work with @eerosim.bsky.social at #NeurIPS2024 that proposes a nonlinear recurrent circuit model motivated by efficient coding theory.
