The data science revolution is getting closer. TabPFN v2 is published in Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… On tabular classification with up to 10k data points & 500 features, in 2.8s TabPFN on average outperforms all other methods, even when tuning them for up to 4 hours🧵1/19

Wie pünktlich ist die Bahn wirklich?
Das wollen @martiinhier und ich herausfinden, und deshalb haben wir vor einigen Wochen begonnen riesige 📈Datensätze für unsere eigene Statistik zu füllen.
Das erste 🚀 Feature steht bereits:
Ihr könnt nun jeden beliebigen Bahnhof tracken 👇

It's amazing to me that the year is 2024 and some people still equate task-specific skill and intelligence. There is *no* specific task that cannot be solved *without* intelligence -- all you need a sufficiently complete description of the task (removing all test-time novelty and uncertainty), and you can achieve arbitrary levels of skills while entirely by-passing the problem of intelligence. In the limit, even a simple hashtable can be superhuman at anything.

To those of you who claiming that smarter-than-human AI is decades away, what *specific tasks* are you willing to bet me that AI won't be able to do within 5 years?

OpenAI goal is to build a world simulator - that learns the dynamics of the 3D real world - from videos & language descriptions.
They claim the work indicates that training on ever larger datasets is a promising direction for learning such world models.
But they are wrong:

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

Excited to announce that my new research group, Human-Centered & Explainable AI, is starting in the new year at @CITEC_Bielefeld. This means I have a fully funded #PhD position to study the effect of #xai in AI-assisted decision-making. If interested 👉 uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job…

The #OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of productive people and nonsensually crammed the fine details of the debate between #EffectiveAltruism and #EffectiveAccelerationism into them, a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama.

We not only find that participants (N=271) using SHAP and BertSum were *significantly worse* than the control setting, where users are shown no additional info, but we also found that participants were overconfident in estimating the helpfulness of the assistive information!

My most highly cited research is a paper that uses causal models to give a mathematically precise definition for non-discrimination of computer algorithms
For years, I've given talks about it using the US Supreme Court as an example... 🧵

Despite strong calls for Explainable AI in the area of #affectivecomputing, its use is still in its infancy. In our new review @HDrimalla, Olya Hakobyan and I point to a limited variety of #xai methods and lack of evaluation. Check out our recommendations👉arxiv.org/abs/2306.08933

We talk a lot about how AI is biased but don’t often get to really see it in a meaningful way. This in-depth piece from @dinabass and @Leonardonclt is a fantastic way in to the ways in which generative AI (in this case @StabilityAI Stable Diffusion) is biased). Check it out!

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨
Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world.
