Doing non-causal inference (and being explicit about it), yet using a causal word as second word in the title.

If you pay Nature € 10.690, they will publish this in Nature Ageing.

I can tell you what I think of that for free.

Next week (on the 15th and 16th), with @yasserroudi.bsky.social and Federico Turkheimer we will organize a workshop on the "The Topology of Human and Synthetic Minds"

Please do join us!
(Registration is free but required for access/catering!)

1/3 What happens if one repeatedly retrains a machine on data primarily generated from itself? For example when students use LLMs to write their essays that they then put online. And then profs use LLMs to write a paper on that topic and so on 😎

Lost in Retraining: Roaming the Parameter Space of Exponential Families Under Closed-Loop Learning
Closed-loop learning is the process of repeatedly estimating a model from data generated from the model itself. It is receiving great attention due to the possibility that large neural network models ...

🚀 Just released a new tool for the neuroscience and Topological Data Analysis communities!

The topology-degree repository provides code and methods to quantify the topology in high-dimensional data using persistent homology.

1/5 Imagine if Newton, Galileo etc divided objects to heavy ones and light ones instead of assigning mass to them: no Eq. of motion+endless arguments about what's heavy/light; likely in caves.

In a recent paper, we avoid binarization in Topol. Data Analysis
