A feature in Nature reports how research shows that ‘exercise snacks’ and other forms of everyday movement can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and death. #medsky 🧪

It’s been two years since we published the #life2vec paper, and it’s still circulating widely.
People keep discovering it but much of what circulates online is misleading.
Agter a long time, I finally wrote a short explainer to clear up a few things:

Attending @neuripsconf.bsky.social this week!
If you want to chat about LLMs for behaviour / health / labour modeling... or about beliefs and opinions of LLMs, hit me up.
I’ll also be presenting a poster on truth tracking at the Mechanistic Interpretability workshop later. Come say hi!
My 2 cents: If you exploited the #openreview bug or are actively searching for the leaked data, you should seriously reconsider your place in research.
If you cannot uphold the basic principle of double-blind review, how can we trust anything you publish?
Truthfulness isn’t always binary. Sometimes it’s… neither 🤔 Our Trilemma of Truth paper is headed to the @neuripsconf.bsky.social Mechanistic Interpretability workshop 🚀 Let’s connect in San Diego! 🌴

Had the pleasure of presenting our work on Three-valued veracity probes for LLMs at #NEMI Workshop! Mechanistic Interpretability has such a great and welcoming community.
If we crossed paths - let’s connect! 🚀

@nunetsi.bsky.social had a great week at @ic2s2.bsky.social! Looking forward to the next #IC2S2 in Vermont 🔬⛰️
Colleagues are making sure that I stay focused at #IC2S2 🤓
Presented our work on veracity-tracking in LLMs at #IC2S2 today!
Now looking forward to the next few days of great talks and conversations ✨️🎓
Little wins: our "Trilemma of Truth" dataset just hit 150 downloads. It contains true, false, and neither-valued statements (inspired by the three-valued logic) used to stress-test LLMs for fact-checking, veracity tracking, and uncertainty handling.

Perfect weather, charming streets, and a poster so big it almost needed its own boarding pass 🧳✨
Excited to attend #IC2S2 in Norrköping 🇸🇪 Find me at the Poster Session on Tuesday: "Improving Probes that Track Veracity in Large Language Models" (Poster ID: 39) 🧪
I’m presenting a poster on my latest project: “The Trilemma of Truth.”
Drop by to see how LLMs leverage three‑valued logic to model truth 🔢🤖
And hey, if you fancy grabbing a coffee ☕, DM me!

🚨 New preprint!
Do LLMs really know what’s true?
In our paper, @eliassi.bsky.social and I introduce sAwMIL: a probing method that distinguishes between true, false, and neither—capturing what LLMs actually “retain.”
We evaluated 16 open models across 3 new datasets.

That happens way too often to me 🥲
Thanks 😋
What's the coolest guide/source on "Complex Data Visualization"? I am looking for some inspiration to visualize graphs and high dimensional data.
Great read from 2019 about abandoning the use of p-values in a dichotomous way and what we can do instead. More thinking, and less relying on significance tests to decide things for us!

Sometimes we need a reality check 😉 @serge.belongie.com
Amazing time with the folks from @tint-philosophy.bsky.social at the retreat on Predictability of Human Lives. Great people & discussions, and so much to reflect on—especially around integrative modeling and how neural networks can help us get there. Plus, a relaxing sauna to top it off!
Visiting @mpidr.bsky.social this week—super excited to see what’s happening in Demographic Studies (don’t miss my talk!).
Also, I’ll be in Berlin on Feb 2, Helsinki from Feb 3-6, and Copenhagen from Feb 10-12. Let me know if you’re around and up for a coffee 🧪🔬☕️

New tool to estimate the level of participation in collective action expressed in natural language.
Applied to social media, it can produce large-scale and granular estimates of behavior change wrt collective action.

I once asked ChatGPT how it thinks my life would look like in 20 years. And "Visionary Multidimensional Social Scientist" sounds like a great job title 😅 I guess it captured my love for the "His Dark Materials" trilogy.
📢 @savcisens.com discusses a recent study that shows that LLMs exhibit social identity biases similar to humans. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Happy to write this News & Views piece on the recent audit showing LLMs picking up "us versus them" biases: www.nature.com/articles/s43... (Read-only version: rdcu.be/d5ovo)
Check out the amazing (original) paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Could you add me as well 🦋🦋
I don't like the way many CS papers are written, even the supposedly good ones, but these tips are very generically applicable and useful. Just ignore the bit about the acronyms...
