Hey, Geo-scientist! Have you settled on “I make maps” when explaining your research to friends and family? Watch this video to see why you shouldn’t—and how you should. Stop spending (all) your days stuck behind a laptop working on academic papers. Step out of the academic bubble and share your work with the world. This isn’t just for academics, though. As a one-person crew on the video-production side of Geoversity.io, I also tend to get caught up in the video-making process like a caveman. When you’re so familiar with the animations, B-roll, and interview footage, it can be tough to step back and see if the chosen clips actually convey what you’re aiming for. In my mind, I see the full context of every clip (including the moments that were cut off), which makes it harder to evaluate if the final edits fully make sense. So here’s me getting out of my bubble as well, asking for your honest feedback on this video. Does the whole package make sense if I want to inspire (aspiring) geo-scientists to look beyond academic publishing? Also, if you’d be open to giving feedback on drafts of future geo-related videos, please reach out. It would be great to have an extra pair of critical eyes in the production process to make the final edit better understood :-). https://lnkd.in/eJ6FyRcX

The original back propagation paper: "Learning representation by back-propagating errors". https://lnkd.in/ej3buxiV We describe a new learning procedure, back-propagation, for networks of neuron-like units. The procedure repeatedly adjusts the weights of the connections in the network so as to minimize a measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the net and the desired output vector. As a result of the weight adjustments, internal ‘hidden’ units which are not part of the input or output come to represent important features of the task domain, and the regularities in the task are captured by the interactions of these units. The ability to create useful new features distinguishes back-propagation from earlier, simpler methods such as the perceptron-convergence procedure1.

Great read about next steps for AI. For up to date AI content please follow Prof Rama Ramakrishnan .
LLMs are really good at "reading" long pages of dense text. They are not as good (yet) at reading content meant for easy consumption by humans (e.g., images, charts, navigational elements on web pages etc). So, if you want LLMs to know and use your stuff properly, maybe you should have a "textified" version meant purely for LLMs? Andrew Ng describes this emerging trend with a nice example - check it out. https://lnkd.in/ddFv63c9

For my research friends out there getting into new topics, or those who occasionally just want to know EVERYTHING about a subject (FOMO anyone??): do you guys all know about litmaps? Really cool tool I've been playing with over the last days - allows you to 1) quickly map out scientific literature on a given topic 2) find connections between papers, 3) most importantly, discover NEW relevant papers that maybe would have not turned up in google scholar searches (ok they probably would, but the visual interface is really helpful to sort through the noise - the vertical position of each paper shows how many citations it has and the size of each dot representing a paper shows how many references it includes) Link below: #research, #literaturereview,

The best research addresses a serious research gap. But research gaps aren't just a burst of genius -- they come from studying the literature and seeing what is and ISN'T there. Here's how to use Litmaps to identify 3 kinds of "research gaps": 1️⃣ Unexplored areas of research 2️⃣ Interdisciplinary gaps 3️⃣ Gaps in current or past research By seeing how papers connect (and more importantly, where they don't!), you can use literature maps to quickly see potential gaps to explore. How do you find research gaps? https://lnkd.in/g3vpBEFg

Dear PhDs and postdocs Assuming you got the memo people can't read and listen at the same time, that's a good start to better visuals. It means use fewer slide, have less text, simplify your graphics. But that's just the start. 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳? • A simple trick for better slide timing? • How to share those more complex slide you need? • How to test your visuals to be sure they are working? 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸! My newsletter tomorrow, will cover these and more. The more being a special opportunity to free access to 2 of my "better visuals" course modules. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵? There is none. 1. Follow the link - https://lnkd.in/eb9kYBmx 2. Sign up for the free newsletter. 3. Check your email tomorrow. Cheers, Andy The former researcher on his way to helping 100,000 researchers present more effectively. Please like/share to help.

Shout out to my academic audience: Is writing chapters in Handbooks and Collections worth it? I see minimal "reward" in citations, so how do I know it's useful for the readers? #AcademicWriting #Research #PublicationEthics

Research Kick's landing page is coming along nicely. Apparently, copy-pasting is not a good idea😂 Research Kick will help you craft compelling research questions in minutes. It will also show you if a question has already been answered or not. We'll soon be opening early access to Reseach Kick. Click the link below to join the waitlist. https://lnkd.in/du3bFJ8p

I love the creativity of qualitative research. I find the experience very similar to other creative activities like song writing or playing music. Sometimes it feels to me even *more* creative, because I think it is better suited to my skill set. One can experience flow when researching, and the thrill of making new connections between ideas. I love it! Look forward the reading more on this theme Pat Thomson

I’m starting a little set of posts about research as a creative practice. Here’s the first one, making the overall case. https://lnkd.in/gqQkCUew
