Radical ideologies can and do inevitably interconnect historically; the far-right’s fascination with radical forms of Islam is not a new phenomenon and while it may have been accentuated by militant Islamists’ fame, we cannot overlook these movements deep historic roots and how historical fragments, real or imagined, intersect to inspire elements of the far-right today.

Add a Run/Stop button to the graph display (done!). Will still need to be able to drag around nodes
Zoom turned out to be a bit tricky, because the lines were not being scaled and translated along with the nodes. TO do this, I needed to use the screen coordinates for the nodes, which I got like this:
Which I then combined with the global(!) positions of the nodes to get the combined effect:
self.x += self.dx * elapsed
self.y += self.dy * elapsed
self.cd.canvas.move(self.id, self.dx * elapsed, self.dy * elapsed) # global coords
self.set_screen_coords() # get local coords
for n, l in self.neighbor_dict.items():
self.cd.canvas.coords(l, self.cx, self.cy, n.cx, n.cy) #use local coords
The French, Chinese, and Mexican reviews are still cooking. It looks like about 8 hours more to finish generation, then the sentiment. So everything will probably be done tomorrow? Then I can run the analysis, and probably start writing.
Also, in the app, I want to try hooking the system to the local GPT models, and try to reproduce the chess board.
WeightWatcher(WW): is an open-source, diagnostic tool for analyzing Deep Neural Networks (DNN), without needing access to training or even test data. It can be used to:
analyze pre/trained pyTorch, Keras, DNN models (Conv2D and Dense layers)
monitor models, and the model layers, to see if they are over-trained or over-parameterized
predict test accuracies across different models, with or without training data
detect potential problems when compressing or fine-tuning pretrained models
layer warning labels: over-trained; under-trained

How do people learn the large, complex web of social relations around them? We test how people use information about social features (such as being part of the same club or sharing hobbies) to fill in gaps in their knowledge of friendships and to make inferences about unobserved friendships in the social network. We find the ability to infer friendships depends on a simple but inflexible heuristic that infers friendship when two people share the same features, and a more complex but flexible cognitive map that encodes relationships between features rather than between people. Our results reveal that cognitive maps play a powerful role in shaping how people represent and reason about relationships in a social network.

The spread of misinformation is a global phenomenon, with implications for elections, state-sanctioned violence, and health outcomes. Yet, even though scholars have investigated the capacity of fact-checking to reduce belief in misinformation, little evidence exists on the global effectiveness of this approach. We describe fact-checking experiments conducted simultaneously in Argentina, Nigeria, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, in which we studied whether fact-checking can durably reduce belief in misinformation. In total, we evaluated 22 fact-checks, including two that were tested in all four countries. Fact-checking reduced belief in misinformation, with most effects still apparent more than 2 weeks later. A meta-analytic procedure indicates that fact-checks reduced belief in misinformation by at least 0.59 points on a 5-point scale. Exposure to misinformation, however, only increased false beliefs by less than 0.07 points on the same scale. Across continents, fact-checks reduce belief in misinformation, often durably so.

We present a method of generating a collection of neural cellular automata (NCA) to design video game levels. While NCAs have so far only been trained via supervised learning, we present a quality diversity (QD) approach to generating a collection of NCA level generators. By framing the problem as a QD problem, our approach can train diverse level generators, whose output levels vary based on aesthetic or functional criteria. To efficiently generate NCAs, we train generators via Covariance Matrix Adaptation MAP-Elites (CMA-ME), a quality diversity algorithm which specializes in continuous search spaces. We apply our new method to generate level generators for several 2D tile-based games: a maze game, Sokoban, and Zelda. Our results show that CMA-ME can generate small NCAs that are diverse yet capable, often satisfying complex solvability criteria for deterministic agents. We compare against a Compositional Pattern-Producing Network (CPPN) baseline trained to produce diverse collections of generators and show that the NCA representation yields a better exploration of level-space.
This could be an interesting scenario generator

We present a new dataset of Wikipedia articles each paired with a knowledge graph, to facilitate the research in conditional text generation, graph generation and graph representation learning. Existing graph-text paired datasets typically contain small graphs and short text (1 or few sentences), thus limiting the capabilities of the models that can be learned on the data. Our new dataset WikiGraphs is collected by pairing each Wikipedia article from the established WikiText-103 benchmark (Merity et al., 2016) with a subgraph from the Freebase knowledge graph (Bollacker et al., 2008). This makes it easy to benchmark against other state-of-the-art text generative models that are capable of generating long paragraphs of coherent text. Both the graphs and the text data are of significantly larger scale compared to prior graph-text paired datasets. We present baseline graph neural network and transformer model results on our dataset for 3 tasks: graph -> text generation, graph -> text retrieval and text -> graph retrieval. We show that better conditioning on the graph provides gains in generation and retrieval quality but there is still large room for improvement.

Work on finding a venue for the automating imagination paper
OED Definition of imagination:
The power or capacity to form internal images or ideas of objects and situations not actually present to the senses, including remembered objects and situations, and those constructed by mentally combining or projecting images of previously experienced qualities, objects, and situations. Also (esp. in modern philosophy): the power or capacity by which the mind integrates sensory data in the process of perception.
Also, using GNNs as ways of storing the relationships between the text generated by the GPT
No public health authority should rely on an AI system to make recommendations, of course. But as they grow in power and reach, AI systems could become another tool in leaders’ belts, allowing them to quickly parse existing scientific knowledge for insights that could help to guide in-the-moment decision-making. As the systems become better at citing their sources and explaining their output, their value as tools for guiding decision-making will only grow, because the validity of their predictions can be checked and vetted.
