Apple's hold on the laptop industry is kind of interesting. 90% of the time, the computer's main job is to update itself - like sometimes you make an excel file or whatever, but otherwise, it's updates itself until it encounters an update incompatible with the hardware and you have to buy a new one.

Started talking about characteristic functions yesterday, and one of the students went “oh, cool!”

🤖 🧠 NEW BLOG POST 🧠 🤖

What skills do you need to be a successful researcher?

The list seems long: collaborating, writing, presenting, reviewing, etc

But I argue that many of these skills can be unified under a single overarching ability: theory of mind

rtmccoy.com/posts/theory...
Illustration of the blog post's main argument, summarized as: "Theory of Mind as a Central Skill for Researchers: Research involves many skills.If each skill is viewed separately, each one takes a long time to learn. These skills can instead be connected via theory of mind – the ability to reason about the mental states of others. This allows you to transfer your abilities across areas, making it easier to gain new skills."

Second, we want to integrate semantic representations with computational "backends", e.g., theorem provers, that can allow for more sophisticated and general reasoning about the representations of probability distributions. Right now, the reasoning is sometimes seemingly more ad hoc than necessary.

There are a couple of directions we're hoping to take things in:

First, we want to streamline the addition of certain model components that right now need to be added by hand. These include random effects, as well as certain kinds of likelihoods (like ones involving censored data).

🚨The text has several code snippets, which are taken from the Haskell project under active development here:

The goal here is therefore to allow semantic theories to connect up with the probabilistic models of data which are used to test them in a completely seamless fashion, where researcher choice-points are made fully explicit.

The CCG -> Stan pipeline is implemented in Haskell using traditional techniques used to work with the lambda-calculus (e.g., beta-reduction), but the representations output by the system are genuine Stan models.

We show how the full system works, going from CCG grammar fragments for some semantic phenomenon you care about (for example, adjectival vagueness), all the way to a Stan implementation of a probabilistic model of inference judgment data you've collected in order to study the phenomenon at scale.
