I am a PhD student @MIT @CSAIL studying cognition 🧠 and graphics 🫖. This is an academic account. I do care about other things, but I won't Tweet about them.
I'm very excited to announce our #SIGGRAPH2025 workshop: Drawing & Sketching: Art, Psychology, and Computer Graphics 🎨🧠🫖 🔗 lines-and-minds.github.io 📅 Sunday, August 10th Join us to explore how people draw, how machines draw, and how the two might draw together! 🤖✍️
The @MITEECS Graduate Application Assistance Program is open for applications! Our team of PhD students offers 1-on-1 mentorship and office hours to EE/CS graduate school applicants (to any school, not just MIT) from around the world. Deadline: 10/15/24. eecs-gaap.mit.edu
“The next few slides are packed with equations, and I know it’s right after lunch…but it will all be over soon” - @_k_a_c_h_ presenting his beautiful work on a computational model of explanation. I’ll stomach equations if they come from you Kartik! #SPP2024
I'm on my way to Purdue to attend my first SPP @socphilpsych! I will be presenting a new computational framework for modeling ~explanation~ as a kind of rational communication. (Pictured: co-authors @chentoast1 @tzumaoli @jrk @MITCoCoSci demonstrating the phenomenon we studied!)
COGGRAPH Seminar #2 on Visual Perception is going to be underway in **one hour** on Zoom! It's not too late to register and join in! Registration link: uwmadison.zoom.us/meeting/regist… See you all there!
👁️ On visual perception (6/17, 10-11am ET): @zyfergus, @wenzeljakob, @tzumaoli, @PaulunVivian, and Ilker Yildirim
The first session of COGGRAPH is today!!! There's still time to sign-up for what is sure to be an AWESOME, inspiring session around *visual communication* today -- 4pm ET! Sign up at our Zoom: uwmadison.zoom.us/meeting/regist… More details here! coggraph.github.io
Hi friends — I'm delighted to announce a new summer workshop on the emerging interface between cognitive science 🧠 and computer graphics 🫖! We're calling it: COGGRAPH! coggraph.github.io June – July 2024, free & open to the public (all career stages, all disciplines) 🧶
Dear cogsci/graphics friends: you are all invited to this conversation on MC Escher at @MITMuseum next Sunday! With Jeffrey Price (Escher scholar), Seth Riskin (MIT studio director), & Pawan Sinha (my longtime academic role model). It's such a joy to get to be a part of this. :)
Explore the interface of art, mathematics, & vision science through the lens of MC Escher's life and career via Escher scholar Jeffrey Price, joined in conversation by Professor Pawan Sinha. April 7 1pm mitmuseum.mit.edu/programs/mc-es…
I just got back from this year's PLATEAU - the first I've attended. What a lovely, lovely community! Thank you so much @roboticwrestler @sarahchasins @joshsunshine for organizing the workshop. :) (I'll share more about what I presented once our paper appears in the proceedings!)
I had a great time in Berkeley at PLATEAU. It is always fun to geek out about all things programming langues and human-computer interaction. The community is fantastically helpful and supportive. I can't wait until next year! plateau-workshop.org
