Excited to share my 1st paper as a PhD student at @uwmadphysics.bsky.social working with @uwdsi.bsky.social! Our paper introduces a novel way to benchmark self-supervised ML models and evaluate mutual information estimators on realistic data. Glad to have worked with this group. More to come!

New paper, with @rkhashmani.me @marielpettee.bsky.social @garrettmerz.bsky.social Hellen Qu. We introduce a framework for generating realistic, highly multimodal datasets with explicitly calculable mutual information. This is helpful for studying self-supervised learning arxiv.org/abs/2510.21686

From my friend: "I opted out of Dominos selling of my info. Not only did it take 4 different screens, 1 email, 1 SMS, and 6 business days, they got back to me with this message." How can that even be legal. We will continue to sell your data if you clear your cookies? @dominos-pizza.bsky.social

Finally wrapped up the Wonders of Physics show at @uwmadphysics.bsky.social!

Looks like Santa is here at the @librarycongress.bsky.social Holiday Celebration.

Looks like the Madison lakes have frozen over.

On to the next event for today! As a @uwmadphysics.bsky.social Outreach Fellow, I’m at Madison East High School performing a couple modern physics experiments with other Fellows.

Excited to host the UW–Madison NSF HDR ML Challenge kickoff meeting today with the WI IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center. The challenge: develop algorithms that can identify subtle differences and anomalies across three datasets. Thanks to all who participated! @uwmadscience.bsky.social

That’s Josh from A3D3 explaining the 3 challenges! I can peep @kylecranmer.bsky.social there too. 👀 @garrettmerz.bsky.social is here hiding just outside the photo. A lot of people from UW Computer Science, Statistics, and @uwmadphysics.bsky.social! @uwdsi.bsky.social @uwmadscience.bsky.social

New to the app, as many are I'm guessing. Who are the best people to follow for #geeky stuff, #gaming, #tech, and #science?
