The Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University.
From Cambridge to Johannesburg🌍— our “Building a Transformer from Scratch” workshop brought together students from the #KempnerInstitute and MIND Institute Wits University for collaboration, creativity and discovery!
🙌39 students, 8 facilitators, global #AI learning in action.
November 7, 2025 at 4:21 PM
How can scientists apply efficient #AI tools to cognitive science? And what does it mean for how robots learn in new environments? #KempnerInstitute fellow Wilka Carvalho (@cogscikid.bsky.social l) + collaborators outline a new framework in 3 papers.
