I recently had the chance to record a convo with @littmath about math and AI. It was great hearing a little about his workflow, some current best practices, and more. Excited to try out some new things myself, now!

Not too long ago, my collaborators and I wrote a preprint on the problem of uploading classical data onto a quantum computer, from a more mathematical (& category theoretical) perspective. I finally got around to blogging about the ideas. New series is up! math3ma.com/blog/what-is-a-g…

The mathematician Tai-Danae Bradley is using category theory to try to understand how words come together to make meaning. Read Joseph Howlett’s interview: quantamagazine.org/where-doe…

10 years ago today, I launched the Math3ma blog. At the time, I wasn’t sure the site would resonate with anyone, but I’ve been amazed by all that’s happened over the past decade! To celebrate, here’s a new post on category theory and language models 🥳math3ma.com/blog/magnitude-e…

Okay sure, here's a thread on our preprint 🧵arxiv.org/abs/2501.06662 It's a blend of two existing ideas in category theory: 1) magnitude and 2) a (generalized) metric space associated to an LLM. I'll say a little about each, and how we relate them.... 1/

How about a short thread 🧵 in the meantime?

Oh, and so far, there are 100 papers on magnitude, which is pretty neat. Tom Leinster is keeping track on his website — check out more here! maths.ed.ac.uk/~tl/magbib/ And here: golem.ph.utexas.edu/category… 18/

We wrote our preprint to (hopefully) be self-contained, so you don't really need to know about category theory to follow it. But hopefully this thread is a little helpful, too. 19/19
