Thank you @samjoiner , @love_persis , @inari_ta and @sam_learner and @johnthornhillft for this compelling multimedia story about how artificial intelligence methods could help unlock incredible scientific discoveries about the rich and complex lives of our co-species on Earth.

The same technology that is powering ChatGPT could allow us to reach into the non-human world, and begin to understand — even speak — animal languages, or so researchers hope. Here’s how: on.ft.com/4aYsmU5

Our work on end-to-end source separation for animals—the ability to isolate the individual calls when multiple bats, dolphins, and macaque monkeys are vocalizing—is out in Scientific Reports and Github

Yesterday was my 39'th birthday. To celebrate, I hosted a #masks4all making party with family in KY & TN.
Learn how homemade masks can slow the spread of infection, protect family community, & save pro masks for medical workers.
Post a pic w/ your fam.

Last night we started teaching our new deep learning course (virtually). We included a section about covid-19, since it's on all our minds.
The course won't be released until July. The class asked if we could release the covid-19 part now. Yes, we can!

There is a lot I ❤️ about @fastdotai v2, but probably my favorite thing is the flexibility it allows in reading in data.
The example in chpt #6 of the fastbook github.com/fastai/fastbook/b… where you start with an empty DataBlock is 🤯.
If you would like to see a RL example of this,

Using the out of the box functionality from
@fastdotai v2 to troubleshoot a model that wouldn't train...
... and fixing the situation by implementing stratified sampling of epochs of arbitrary length
So little code needed! 😺

With recorded COVID-19 cases (outside china) so eerily matching an exponential, I couldn't resist making a primer on exponential/logistic growth. At least 3 counterintuitive things about this kind of growth seem worth putting into the discussion.

As data scientists, we (with @math_rachel) have done our best to look at the data around covid-19, and what it means to you and your community.
Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now.

Just love today's season opener of @NPRinvisibilia - a moving backstory behind @earthspecies, the open-source nonprofit on a mission to decode animal communication. So proud of @aza and @bs, and blown away by how beautifully @aspiegelnpr told this story.

Hey Everybody. So today our season starts with a story that - when I was reporting it - hit me really hard and changed a bunch of my behaviors day to day. I’m really proud of it and hope that it will make some small amount of difference. npr.org/programs/invisibilia…

Last words of every inmate executed in Texas since 1984 – Browsing public language corpora and ran across this one. Profundity coupled with rote tabular data.
