New paper is out with researcher at Oxford university @OxUniMaths & University of Seville @unisevilla . @viditnanda @majirouses @eduph_tw @dashtidev @UB_Computing . Ending a year with a great paper. Let us hope 2023 will be a better one 🎊
I usually avoid writing papers that either (1) have lots of co-authors, or (2) contain no genuinely new ideas, or (3) require me to read *many* of existing papers.
This new paper violates all three rules...

This is a call to the world: protect the Kurds, secure a decentralized future for them in Syria, and stop legitimizing violence as “stability.”
Stand with the Kurds now, before ISIS and chaos rise again from the ruins.

🚨 Google’s MedGemma & OpenAI’s GPT-4o are impressive, but their openness is limited—either fully closed-source or releasing only weights without data/training code.
🔥 Meet MedVLThinker — a fully open multimodal medical reasoning recipe that matches their performance.
Simple. Transparent. Reproducible.

One of the most impressive things about anonymous peer reviews is the fact that you have absolutely no idea who your reviewers are!

Traveling waves of neural activity are observed all over the brain. Can they be used to augment neural networks?
I am thrilled to share our new work, "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time" with @t_andy_keller!

Among the most common questions that I get from data scientists is "Are there any compelling applications of Topological Data Analysis?"
The answer is yes, with high multiplicity.
Would you like to see a brand new one?

Here's a new paper with my student Alex Tanaka plus @coopallographer and @Aras121 from Oxford Drug Design; it takes a TDA perspective.
We only allow ourselves to access other successful ligands rather than know anything special about the binding site on the target.

بفەرمون بۆ پۆدکاستێکی تری زانستی لەگەڵ نیگا سیروان نەورۆڵی, پسپۆری بواری بەرگری لەش و سایتۆمەتری
لەم پۆدکاستە باسی ژیانی زانستی نیگا نەورۆڵی دەکەین لە قۆناغی سەرەتای تاوەکو بەدەست هێنانی ماستەر لە زانکۆی ئیمپریاڵ کۆلیج لەندن، کە یەکێکە لە باشترین زانکۆکانی جیهان
باسی زانستی بەرگری لەش و سایتۆمەتری و فلۆ سایتۆمەتری دەکەین؟
سایتۆ مەتری چیە؟ چۆن لە بواری بەرگری لەش بەکاردێت؟ چۆن بەکاردێت بۆ دەستنیشانکردنی نەخۆشی لەرێگەی خوێن؟ پەیوەندی چیە بە بوارەکانی وەک بایلۆجی، مایکرۆبایلۆجی، فیزیا، بایۆکێمیستری و شیکردنەوەی داتا.
پاشان بۆ توێژینەوەی زانستی و چالاکی رێکخراوەکانی سایتۆمەتری لە بریتانیا و پاشان بۆ کۆمپانیای کەرتی تایبەت و کۆمەڵێ قسەباسی زانستی تر پەیوەست بەمانە.

#Topology is a type of geometry where we ignore concepts like length, angles, area, etc., and focus only on the shape of objects. In topology, a spiky ball is homeomorphic to a sphere.
