📚 In our latest review: "Active Inference" by Parr, Pezzulo, and Friston takes us into the mathematical engine room of the mind. The free energy principle at its core explains something fascinating - how every living system, from cells to human brains, maintains its internal model of the world through constant prediction and updating. The authors blend theoretical insights with real-world application, providing mathematical models and code examples for readers eager to explore in depth.

🤔 From Science Fiction to Science: Testing Consciousness in AI Systems When Blade Runner premiered in 1982, the idea of testing artificial beings for consciousness seemed purely fictional. Today, as Large Language Models display increasingly sophisticated behaviors, we're facing similar challenges in reality. Our latest deep dive explores: How modern Theory of Mind tests compare to science fiction's Voight-Kampff test Recent research showing how LLMs perform against 7-10 year old children What the Cheryl's Birthday puzzle reveals about AI's understanding of other minds David Chalmers' framework for evaluating machine consciousness Drawing from classic science fiction, contemporary AI research, and philosophy of mind, we examine what it might take for artificial systems to possess genuine consciousness - and how we could tell if they do.

📚 Final piece in our series exploring essential books for data scientists! In our latest article, we review Matt LeMay's "Product Management in Practice" - a practical guide that's surprisingly relevant for data science leaders. Learn why effective communication and stakeholder collaboration are becoming as crucial as technical skills in our field. Key insights: The art of overcommunication in technical roles A fresh perspective on Agile for data teams Practical strategies for product-data science collaboration Read the full series to discover how these three books can transform your approach to technical leadership. #DataScience #Leadership #ProductManagement #CommunicationSkills

📚 New Article: Leading Engineering Teams - A Data Scientist's Perspective In the second part of my series on essential books for data scientists, I explore Addy Osmani's "Leading Effective Engineering Teams." Drawing from his experience as a Google engineering leader, Osmani offers frameworks that are invaluable for both managers and individual contributors. Key highlights: - The 3 E's Model for building effective teams - Why leadership matters for all technical professionals - Practical strategies for scaling team effectiveness The book features a foreword by Gergely Orosz, author of "The Software Engineer's Guidebook" which we covered in part one. https://lnkd.in/dudS3chC #TechnicalLeadership #DataScience #Engineering #TeamEffectiveness

🔍 New Blog Post: "The Language of Economic Research: How Ideology Shapes Economic Discourse" Just finished reading "Political Language in Economics," a fascinating paper that applies NLP and machine learning to analyze ideological patterns in academic writing. By examining language patterns in economics papers, the researchers could predict authors' political leanings and show how these correlations manifest in research findings. In my blog post, I dive into both the computational methodology and its philosophical implications, drawing from Kuhn's insights about scientific paradigms. Really shows how NLP can shed light on the social construction of scientific knowledge! #NLP #MachineLearning #DataScience #ComputationalLinguistics #CorpusLinguistics https://lnkd.in/dr3h_VJK

📚 Just published the first of a three-part series exploring career development for data scientists!

Discover how your brain is actually a prediction machine, constantly creating your reality! In Andy Clark's groundbreaking book "The Experience Machine," we learn that intelligence isn't about processing data, but about actively predicting and shaping our experience. Far more than a neuroscience book, it's a revolutionary look at how our minds work – and why AI still can't match human cognition.
