I just updated my MiniClip demo code. It's a very quick implementation of an example of XAI for multimodal models (here a CLIP). Feel free to read the little blog post (code and findings):

Abstraction Alignment: Comparing Model-Learned and Human-Encoded Conceptual Relationships

While interpretability methods identify a model's learned concepts, they overlook the relationships between concepts that make up its abstractions and inform its ability to generalize to new data. To ...

US's 1994 security assurances in exchange for Ukraine becoming non-nuclear:

- Respect Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty;

- Refrain from threat of force;

- Refrain from economic coercion;

- Seek immediate UNSC action in case of nuclear threats.

Question about @hf.co Huggingface Spaces. I do have an existing code base that I would like to push to a space, but there is no way of creating an empty repo space. HELP !!!

Hendrik Strobelt @henstr.bsky.social · Feb 17

Thank you, Simon. Unfortunately for using GPUZero I am bound to gradio.

Hendrik Strobelt @henstr.bsky.social · Feb 16

I have worked with a lot of frameworks for front-ends, but I have never experienced something something as BAD as @gradio-hf.bsky.social -- opinionated for only simple use cases, dead component ecosystem, and creating you own components takes major investment. I am forced to use it for HF spaces. 😡

DeepSeek R1 shows how important it is to be studying the internals of reasoning models. Try our code: Here @canrager.bsky.social shows a method for auditing AI bias by probing the internal monologue.

I'd be interested in your thoughts.

It was inevitable, but it’s still good to be aware that this is happening here, now.

If you see suspicious account/comment, remember: Don’t engage. Don’t argue. Don’t clap back. Don’t screenshot and share. Just block and move on.

I wrote the back cover of the new AI-themed issue of MAD Magazine! #NoAI

The back cover of MAD Magazine issue number 41 features the headline "Giving A.I. The Middle Fingers." The artwork is hand flipping the bird... but since AI has trouble drawing hands, the six-fingered hand on the cover is raising TWO middle fingers. A blurb reads "Remember to always pay real artists. They hate drawing hands as much as A.I. does -- but unlike A.I., artists count."

The cover is a parody of an infamous MAD front cover from 1974. The art for the 1974 issue was by Norman Mango (based on an uncredited gag by Nick Merlin.) For the new issue, Mingo's art was altered to feature an extra finger.

Apply to the NDIF Summer Engineering Fellowship to come to Boston to work on the National Deep Inference Fabric, a cutting-edge infrastructure for research in large-scale AI.

A really interesting project that crosses ML, HPC, Systems, PL, UX/Viz, research, and engineering.
