My intro notes for network analysis in economics are now on @QuantEcon #DataScience — a great set of open source resources for teaching computational skills to undergraduate economists 🧑💻

Phil (@pc_solimine) studies industrial organization and networks. His job market paper investigates firms' incentives to develop infrastructure in regulated energy transmission networks. Profile: psolimine.net

The Sensory Neuron as a Transformer: Permutation-Invariant Neural Networks for Reinforcement Learning
We explore RL agents that still work even when their observations get shuffled around a lot!
A fun paper w/ @yujin_tang

The year is 2033. You open Google and type "how to survive heat wave." GPT-27 reads hundreds of articles on the subject, mostly written by GPTs 4 through 26 over the preceding years, and replies "As an AI language model I have no way of knowing if there is currently a heat wave."

It’s very difficult to answer the question “will the SVB collapse cause cascading failures” without adequate data on interbank lending. I know because I wrote a whole paper about it!

I have a new working paper with Co-Pierre George about software dependency graphs.
It is a cool topic and this is our first exploration of it, so comments are very welcome at this stage.

We have a great crop of upcoming job market candidates this year at FSU.

New published article on pricing in networks where we study how network topology and market structure affect firms' prices. We find that denser networks reduce prices, whereas increased competition reduces prices only when competition is weak. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We’re hard at work on a new way to make generative art, and are excited to share our first prototype!

Happy to say that I officially became a doctor today! I am so grateful to all of my advisors and mentors @floridastate who have taught me so much in my time there, and especially to @lukeboosey for sitting through my defense at 5am.

This thread is a bit of an experiment: I'd like to try one of the results from the paper below as simply as possible. If you know a bit of linear algebra (what a matrix is, how to invert a matrix, what change-of-basis means), you're in the audience for this thread. 1/n

Our new paper covers: Neural nets on eigenvectors / eigenspaces, transformers on graphs, universal approximation of invariant functions, graph positional encodings, generalizing spectral graph neural networks, and more!!

Last but not least on @floridastate Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, we have @pc_solimine!
Philip is a Ph.D./M.S. Candidate in Economics and Scientific Computing. After graduation, Phillip will join @ubcVSE as a postdoctoral fellow.

From logical reasoning to mental simulation, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) possess an incredible capacity for computation. To fully harness this capacity, we developed a programming language for RNNs arxiv.org/abs/2203.05032. Here is a game of pong programmed inside of an RNN.
It's official! I could not be more excited to announce that I'll be joining the University of British Columbia @ubcVSE as a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Innovative Data in Economics Research.
We are excited to have @pc_solimine join the @ubcVSE as a postdoc for the upcoming year. We are lucky to have him!
