We in Game Workers Unite Ireland stand in solidarity with Animation Workers of Ireland, and the international trade union coalition happening to organise against the threat of AI in the animation industry, and we support their call to acton.
Join them Thursday 12 June at 14:00 at the Pâquier in Annecy!!

Gradient Similarity Surgery in Multi-Task Deep Learning
The multi-task learning ($MTL$) paradigm aims to simultaneously learn multiple tasks within a single model capturing higher-level, more general hidden patterns that are shared by the tasks. In deep learning, a significant challenge in the backpropagation training process is the design of advanced optimisers to improve the convergence speed and stability of the gradient descent learning rule. In particular, in multi-task deep learning ($MTDL$) the multitude of tasks may generate potentially conf…

Authoritarianism and the decentring of the constitution
by Mayur SureshThe impetus for this project stems from a disquiet, felt by so many in different parts of the world, of the arrival of authoritarian strongmen who had been elected to power. As Kim Scheppele’s influential article tells us, “By now, we know the pattern” of a charismatic leader elected to power, on the back of a wave of popular disenchantment with the state. This leader promises to wipe away the roadblocks that he says have held the country back: established elites, oppos…

Measurement-invisible quantum correlations in scrambling dynamics
Scrambling unitary dynamics in a quantum system transmutes local quantum information into a non-local web of correlations which manifests itself in a complex spatio-temporal pattern of entanglement. In such a context, we show there can exist three distinct dynamical phases characterised by qualitatively different forms of quantum correlations between two disjoint subsystems of the system. Transitions between these phases are driven by the relative sizes of the subsystems and the degree scrambli…

Transient dynamics of associative memory models
Associative memory models such as the Hopfield network and its dense generalizations with higher-order interactions exhibit a "blackout catastrophe"--a discontinuous transition where stable memory states abruptly vanish when the number of stored patterns exceeds a critical capacity. This transition is often interpreted as rendering networks unusable beyond capacity limits. We argue that this interpretation is largely an artifact of the equilibrium perspective. We derive dynamical mean-field equ…
