James Baldwin on Love, the Illusion of Choice, and the Paradox of Freedom
“Nothing is more unbearable, once one has it, than freedom.”

Finished "Far from the Tree" by Robin Benway last night. For me, it was a gripping and absolutely delightful read. I can recognize that I'm absolutely unequipped to judge whether it authentically reflects the experiences of many or few of the people whose situations are similar to the protagonists', but I find myself fervently hopeful for the former, even as I recognize such hopes in the part of people like me can be part of ultimately harmful publishing selection feedback loops. (If anyone reading this happens to have read the book and found it distasteful, I'd love to hear that.) Notwithstanding my probably overcautious uncertainty, I'll definitely be seeking out more books by Benway. At the very least, I really enjoyed her little joining and framing metaphors, and the pacing and plot construction were good, with lots of nicely interwoven implications arising through the buildup, and an ending that left me satisfied (albeit, I'm an inveterate optimist, YMMV).

Efficient Neural Clause-Selection Reinforcement
Clause selection is arguably the most important choice point in saturation-based theorem proving. Framing it as a reinforcement learning (RL) task is a way to challenge the human-designed heuristics of state-of-the-art provers and to instead automatically evolve -- just from prover experiences -- their potentially optimal replacement. In this work, we present a neural network architecture for scoring clauses for clause selection that is powerful yet efficient to evaluate. Following RL principle…

Shifting Narratives: A Longitudinal Analysis of Media Trends and Public Attitudes on Homelessness
Within the field of media framing, homelessness has been a historically under-researched topic. Framing theory states that the media's method of presenting information plays a pivotal role in controlling public sentiment toward a topic. The sentiment held towards homeless individuals influences their ability to access jobs, housing, and resources as a result of discrimination. This study analyzes the topic and sentiment trends in related media articles to validate framing theory within the scop…

In Dialogue with Intelligence: Rethinking Large Language Models as Collective Knowledge
Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically analysed through architectural, behavioural, or training-data lenses. This article offers a theoretical and experiential re-framing: LLMs as dynamic instantiations of Collective human Knowledge (CK), where intelligence is evoked through dialogue rather than stored statically. Drawing on concepts from neuroscience and AI, and grounded in sustained interaction with ChatGPT-4, I examine emergent dialogue patterns, the implications of fine-tuning, and the …

Parity solves the Strong CP problem

Parity solves the Strong CP problem
A recent paper "What can solve the strong CP problem?" goes counter to conventional wisdom by arguing that the universe was in an initial state that combines different eigenstates of $θ$ (of the theta vacuum of QCD), and asserts that for such an initial state, axionless solutions to the Strong CP Problem based on P and CP symmetries will not work. We discuss the nature of the theta vacuum in light of this work, and find that the conventional framing and solutions based on P and CP symmetries a…

Framing social issues as 'civil rights' can sometimes backfire
Framing is a powerful tool in communications: It can help people grasp complex ideas, but it can also distort or mislead. A recent sociological study suggests that framing social issues as "civil rights" can sometimes have surprising and even negative consequences.

The Societal Impact of Foundation Models: Advancing Evidence-based AI Policy
Artificial intelligence is humanity's most promising technology because of the remarkable capabilities offered by foundation models. Yet, the same technology brings confusion and consternation: foundation models are poorly understood and they may precipitate a wide array of harms. This dissertation explains how technology and society coevolve in the age of AI, organized around three themes. First, the conceptual framing: the capabilities, risks, and the supply chain that grounds foundation mode…

Bridging Service Design, Visualizations, and Visual Analytics in Healthcare Digital Twins: Challenges, Gaps, and Research Opportunities
Digital twins (DT) are increasingly used in healthcare to model patients, processes, and physiological systems. While recent solutions leverage visualization, visual analytics, and user interaction, these systems rarely incorporate structured service design methodologies. Bridging service design with visual analytics and visualization can be valuable for the healthcare DT community. This paper aims to introduce the service design discipline to visualization researchers by framing this integrati…

AI Through the Human Lens: Investigating Cognitive Theories in Machine Psychology
We investigate whether Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit human-like cognitive patterns under four established frameworks from psychology: Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), Framing Bias, Moral Foundations Theory (MFT), and Cognitive Dissonance. We evaluated several proprietary and open-source models using structured prompts and automated scoring. Our findings reveal that these models often produce coherent narratives, show susceptibility to positive framing, exhibit moral judgments aligned wi…

Unfortunately & conversely, this (below) is the same framing tech bros (and parts of the population) are finding so attractive to anthropomorphize LLMs: These are not machines, and them making mistakes is normal and expected... At the same time, the other card being played (by politics, military & law enforcement) is that AI-driven insights and decision making are _already_ considered superior, infallible and unchallengeable... in the middle of this two pronged rhetoric is the fate o…

Robust Noise Attenuation via Adaptive Pooling of Transformer Outputs
We investigate the design of pooling methods used to summarize the outputs of transformer embedding models, primarily motivated by reinforcement learning and vision applications. This work considers problems where a subset of the input vectors contains requisite information for a downstream task (signal) while the rest are distractors (noise). By framing pooling as vector quantization with the goal of minimizing signal loss, we demonstrate that the standard methods used to aggregate transformer…

Fretting-Transformer: Encoder-Decoder Model for MIDI to Tablature Transcription
Music transcription plays a pivotal role in Music Information Retrieval (MIR), particularly for stringed instruments like the guitar, where symbolic music notations such as MIDI lack crucial playability information. This contribution introduces the Fretting-Transformer, an encoderdecoder model that utilizes a T5 transformer architecture to automate the transcription of MIDI sequences into guitar tablature. By framing the task as a symbolic translation problem, the model addresses key challenges…

Homotopy of blow ups after looping
The homotopy theory of the blow up construction in algebraic and symplectic geometry is investigated via two approaches. The first approach introduces and develops fibrewise surgery theory, for which the fibrewise framing is characterized by the homotopy groups of a certain gauge group. This is used to obtain a homotopy decomposition of the based loop space on a blow up that holds $p$-locally for all but finitely many primes $p$ and holds rationally. The second approach is purely homotopy theor…
