Oh man, wish i was in #Halifax #NovaScotia today for this.
Dr. Thomas Trappenberg, Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, will deliver a seminar titled “AI and the Cognitive Brain: Have We Uncovered the Ingredients for Intelligence?”
Given the recent mind-blowing abilities of AI agents, I will review some of their theoretical underpinnings. This includes the Modern Hopfield Model (MHM) and Vector Symbolic Architectures (VSA).
I will aim to illuminate the ideas behind these concepts in a non-mathematical way, although I cannot promise that no formulas will be shown for illustrative purposes. While these mechanisms may be implemented with transformers, I will also explore whether they are realized in the brain at a cognitive level, and where gaps may exist in such a cognitive architecture.https://events.dal.ca/event/5815-seminar-series-ai-and-the-cognitive-brain

In a positive outlook for 2024, #universities across #Canada are introducing more #PlantBased or #vegan food options. Many of the universities have stated this is due to ongoing demand from students for more variety - and a larger push for more sustainable practices.
A number of universities are taking the lead, notably:
-#WesternUniversity. The university set a goal of having a 40 per cent plant-based menu at all dining halls by the new year, but it hit the target — and at some points even surpassed it — this year. A fully vegan outlet will open in 2024, and the school wants to reach a 50 per cent target in 2025.
-#TheUniversityOfBritishColumbia. 55 per cent of the food in dining halls is plant-based, and the Vancouver school hopes to reach a goal of 80 per cent by 2025.
-#ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal plans to reduce its purchase of meat, dairy and eggs by 30 per cent.
-#DalhousieUniversity in Halifax aims to offer a menu with at least 50 per cent plant-based food options by 2030.
-#UniversityOfToronto. Plant-based options represented less than half of the universities food services offerings two years ago, but now account for 61 per cent.Vegan Australia is advocating for Australian universities* to gain inspiration from these progressive examples, and embrace a fully vegan food system for the benefit of the planet, humanity, and for the animals.

A PhD student at #DalhousieUniversity is growing a trendy new wheat she says could be an option for #Maritime farmers looking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
#Kernza is a wheatgrass that has attracted the attention of celebrities and chefs around the world, inspiring new products including beer, whiskey, pasta and pancakes. There was even a "Kernza-Con" conference in Minnesota last month.

Looking at the wildfires in #Halifax, Nova Scotia and staggered at how close they are to where we were in the city. A sports club has just burned down which is just a few streets away. We were there in 2005 for me to give a talk at the #SHARP #bookHistory #conference at #DalhousieUniversity. #NovaScotia #NSFire #Canada #Wildfires

A re-#introduction as I recently moved instances.
I am a legal theorist, working at #DalhousieUniversity in Halifax, Canada. This year, I am teaching #TortLaw and #Jurisprudence. I am also a member of Dal’s #HealthLaw Institute.
My research is in #LegalTheory, particularly as that relates to the lawful use and disposal of living and dead human bodies and body parts. In doing so, I often draw on cultural legal studies, legal and political philosophy and social theory.
