@ptenigma.bsky.socialMysterious slide for a talk on harmonic sums
@ptenigma.bsky.socialSalt Lake City * * yes there really is a salt lake. Now to run across airport to catch flight to LA, …
@ptenigma.bsky.social🔥🔥🔥Impressive how many mathematics books are in the RELAY news store at Paris CDG airport, including a comic book about the history of mathematics and 🤯 an explanation of the classification of equivalent knots using polynomials.
@ptenigma.bsky.socialParis 7am
@ptenigma.bsky.socialHa exactly ! Although being stranded here for a day was certainly not the worst :)
@ptenigma.bsky.social
@ptenigma.bsky.socialAir France cancelled my flight home CDG-LAX and randomly re-booked me on a flight to Salt Lake City, which is 90% of the way home
@ptenigma.bsky.socialMysterious sign* * ChatGPT does not know what is means either
@ptenigma.bsky.social🔥 AND IT'S A WRAP!! Congrats to all who presented at #MICCAI2026 and all those who made it possible !
@ptenigma.bsky.socialHeading West
@ptenigma.bsky.socialCOME TO THE MOST RED ROOM in the world* (#MICCAI2026 Room Curie B) for a talk @ 1030am today "Worldwide Collaboration, AI and Data Scaling in the Quest to Map Human Brain Diseases" youtube.com/watch?v=hknxO_…
*with apologies to Krzysztof Kieślowski
@ptenigma.bsky.socialFor those of you @MICCAI 2026 in Strasbourg, no sleeping in tomorrow or going to see the Cathedral...
🔥 be in Room Curie B at 8am sharp for Evelyn Deutscher and Emily Dennis's BrainWorks 2026 Workshop*
🧨 *yes I will give a talk 1030am in Room Curie B youtube.com/watch?v=hknx...
@ptenigma.bsky.socialHeading to #MICCAI2026 (hopefully get there before it’s over !)
@ptenigma.bsky.socialAir France has good WiFi! Very helpful for finishing a talk. 🔥MICCAI is in Strasbourg, I wish we could take the conference students to meet the Gamma calculus/stochastic PDE people across town! 🔥very famous city for mathematics, w Bakry/Emery discovering mind blowing results there for over 50 years
@ptenigma.bsky.social@ptenigma.bsky.socialSunset !
@ptenigma.bsky.social🔥COME TO Pepperdine this Fri + Sat for the Human-Centered AI Conference*
*yes I will give a talk ! (summarised below)
🔥 Programme (featuring Judea Pearl, Katie Bouman, ++): seaver.pepperdine.edu/events/human...
@ptenigma.bsky.social🔥 OK I just posted a NEW VIDEO:
🔥 Can AI Diagnose Every Brain Disease? Data Scaling Laws & the ENIGMA Consortium | MICCAI 2026 youtube.com/watch?v=hknx...
🔥 Can AI diagnose every brain disease from an MRI with over 90% accuracy? And if not, how much more data would it take?
@ptenigma.bsky.socialThis paper looks like it would have been fairly annoying to write on a typewriter* *for those born this century, it was a machine where you didn't need a printer, as you were the printer :)
@ptenigma.bsky.socialSo then you can re-cast the puzzle of finding brain communities as finding a low-energy arrangement of interacting spins. you can use normalised mutual information to measure how much 2 community partitions agree, +find disease effects (by permutation test).
