About the Deeper Learning blog
The Kempner Institute’s Deeper Learning blog highlights cutting-edge research and new findings within the rapidly-advancing field of intelligence. Authored by researchers affiliated with the Kempner Institute, blog posts highlight novel research findings about the basis of intelligence in natural and artificial systems, including machine learning, NeuroAI, AI innovation, and computational neuroscience.
The past decade has seen an explosion of innovation in intelligence research, which in turn has informed the speed of research and technical advancement in the field. Our goal in publishing the Deeper Learning blog is to share the breadth and depth of novel findings emerging from the Kempner’s cross-disciplinary community of scientists.
In keeping with the Kempner’s commitment to open science, the Deeper Learning blog offers a venue for disseminating the institute’s research findings in a timely, clear and accessible format, increasing the visibility of novel research findings, and advancing the state of the art in the field.
Content guidelines
The Kempner Institute’s Deeper Learning blog seeks posts that highlight and summarize novel research from members of the Kempner community.
If you are a faculty member, research fellow, lab member or student affiliated with the Kempner Institute, and have new or forthcoming work/findings, we encourage you to submit a proposal for a blog post.
All blog posts must:
- Cover novel research or findings related to intelligence in an explanatory format. (We don’t accept position or opinion pieces.)
- Cover research that has been recently published, or is forthcoming, as a paper or preprint (in a repository such as arXiv or bioRxiv), or in rare cases, as a conference presentation or code base. (We often publish blog posts timed in conjunction with the release of a paper or preprint.)
- Be authored by at least one of the researchers who has authored the original paper or preprint.
- Be authored by at least one Kempner-affiliated researcher.
Disclaimers
Authored by researchers affiliated with the Kempner Institute, the Deeper Learning blog posts highlight novel findings about the basis of intelligence in natural and artificial systems.
All posts in the Deeper Learning blog are authored by researchers themselves. Any errors are the authors’ own.
Submission process
To pitch a blog post to the Deeper Learning blog, please send the following to Deborah Apsel Lang via email or Slack:
- One or two sentence summary of the proposed blog post topic.
- A link to, or draft of, the paper or preprint that you intend to discuss. If the work has not yet been published, specify the expected date of publication or repository upload.
- The following two dates:
- Date that you plan to submit a complete draft of your blog post, including images.
- A proposed date for blog post publication (again, often timed in conjunction with paper/preprint release).
- NOTE: Please leave at least three work days between submission of your draft post and publication date to allow time for review and formatting. We do not publish on weekends.
Tips for drafting your blog post
Length
We do not have a strict word limit on blog posts, however please aim for 3000 words or fewer.
Audience
The blog is aimed at an audience of informed readers, peer researchers within the field of intelligence, and fellow researchers in adjacent subfields.
Content
Posts highlight the key findings and research methods found within recently published papers or preprints, providing an in-depth overview of major take-aways and insights.
Sources
The blog post should include hyperlinks to academic journals, high-quality preprint repositories such as arXiv or bioRxiv, and software and/or data repositories such as GitHub and HuggingFace. Avoid paywalls. Include a list of citations at the end of the post. Links to non-academic sources such as Wikipedia are best avoided.
Images and videos
We encourage you to incorporate illustrations, graphs, or gifs in your posts. Images that are not included in the primary publication/preprint are welcome provided you have the rights to use them.
File format
Please send your draft as a Google doc or, if your post contains significant Markdown content, please send your content in HackMD or a similar format. Include all hyperlinks directly within the text.
