Understanding generalization
… follows a venerable line of research aimed at understanding generalization through the lens of stability- the study of how variations on the inputs of a system can cause its outputs to change. We explore stability and generalization in two different directions. In the first direction we look at …

Making Sense of Understanding: A Pragmatist Account of Scientific Understanding
… based on theories and laws, thereby gaining understanding of phenomena by explaining them. This thesis takes a radically different approach, instead relating the notion of understanding to the *activities* that scientists perform. Scientific understanding is not just a matter of representing …

Understanding quantum phenomena
In meiner Dissertation beschäftige ich mich mit der Frage: Inwieweit kann die Philosophie der Physik uns erklären, wie die Welt aufgrund unserer besten Theorien der Physik aussieht? Meine Analyse schlägt eine bescheidene Sicht der möglichen Leistungen seitens der Philosophie der Physik vor. Ich …

Understanding LLM Communictaion
The training of modern Large Language Models (LLMs) requires distributed computing across Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters, where network communication efficiency critically impacts performance and cost. Existing profiling tools provide either high-level metrics or low-level timing data, but …

Understanding asynchronous code
JavaScript on the web is difficult to debug due to its asynchronous and dynamic nature. Traditional debuggers are often little help because the language's idioms rely heavily on non-linear control flow via function pointers. The aim of this work is to create a debugging interface that helps users …

Understanding Symbolic Communication
We quantitatively study the emergence of symbolic communication in humans with a communication game that attempts to recapitulate an essential step in the development of human language: the emergence of shared abstract symbols in order to accomplish complex tasks. In our experimental setup, a …

Understanding expressive action
We strain our eyes, cramp our necks, and destroy our hands trying to interact with computer on their terms. At the extreme, we strap on devices and weigh ourselves down with cables trying to re-create a sense of place inside the machine, while cutting ourselves off from the world and people around …
