In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie sits down with Kylie Helm — school SLP, private practice owner, and PhD student who's doing the research we all desperately need. Kylie shares how growing up low-SES herself and then working in a Title I school opened her eyes to the massive disconnect between what grad school teaches us and what these kids actually need. She gets real about the dangerous assumptions SLPs make (spoiler: poverty ≠ language disorder), why standardized vocabulary tests are basically useless for this population, and how syntax is actually the diagnostic hero we've been ignoring. If you've ever felt pressured to qualify a student just because they're from a low-income family or wondered how to write a report that says “they bombed the test but don't need services,” this conversation is packed with research-backed truth bombs and practical ways to do better.Bullet Points to Discuss: The myth that every low-SES kid has “bad language” and automatically needs servicesWhy we need to stop using vocabulary scores as our diagnostic smoking gunLanguage samples and test-teach-retest: where the real answers actually liveHow to tell teachers the difference between functional communication gaps and academic language concernsWhen low vocabulary + low syntax = actual red flag vs. just environmental differenceHere's what we learned: Stop assuming multilingual + immigrant + low-SES + busy parents = needs speech therapy.Syntax is ability-based, vocabulary is environment-based—that changes everything about diagnosis.Dynamic assessment (test-teach-retest) shows learning ability, not just current knowledge.Strong syntax + weak vocabulary? Probably environmental. Weak syntax + weak vocabulary? Now we're concerned.Teachers need to step outside their comfort zone too—it's not all on us to adapt.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about Kylie Helm:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylietheslpStudy: https://pubs.asha.org/doi/abs/10.1044/2024_PERSP-23-00299 Developing Cross-Cultural CompetenceLearn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:

Making deep learning perform real algorithms with Category Theory (Andrew Dudzik, Petar Velichkovich, Taco Cohen, Bruno Gavranović, Paul Lessard)

We often think of Large Language Models (LLMs) as all-knowing, but as the team reveals, they still struggle with the logic of a second-grader. Why can't ChatGPT reliably add large numbers? Why does it "hallucinate" the laws of physics? The answer lies in the architecture. This episode explores how *Category Theory* —an ultra-abstract branch of mathematics—could provide the "Periodic Table" for neural networks, turning the "alchemy" of modern AI into a rigorous science.In this deep-dive exploration, *Andrew Dudzik*, *Petar Velichkovich*, *Taco Cohen*, *Bruno Gavranović*, and *Paul Lessard* join host *Tim Scarfe* to discuss the fundamental limitations of today's AI and the radical mathematical framework that might fix them.TRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/LMreunA-BUpgP-2AkuEvxA7BAFuA-VJNAp2Ut4MkMWk---Key Insights in This Episode:* *The "Addition" Problem:* *Andrew Dudzik* explains why LLMs don't actually "know" math—they just recognize patterns. When you change a single digit in a long string of numbers, the pattern breaks because the model lacks the internal "machinery" to perform a simple carry operation.* *Beyond Alchemy:* deep learning is currently in its "alchemy" phase—we have powerful results, but we lack a unifying theory. Category Theory is proposed as the framework to move AI from trial-and-error to principled engineering. [00:13:49]* *Algebra with Colors:* To make Category Theory accessible, the guests use brilliant analogies—like thinking of matrices as *magnets with colors* that only snap together when the types match. This "partial compositionality" is the secret to building more complex internal reasoning. [00:09:17]* *Synthetic vs. Analytic Math:* *Paul Lessard* breaks down the philosophical shift needed in AI research: moving from "Analytic" math (what things are made of) to "Synthetic" math [00:23:41]---Why This Matters for AGIIf we want AI to solve the world's hardest scientific problems, it can't just be a "stochastic parrot." It needs to internalize the rules of logic and computation. By imbuing neural networks with categorical priors, researchers are attempting to build a future where AI doesn't just predict the next word—it understands the underlying structure of the universe.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 The Failure of LLM Addition & Physics00:01:26 Tool Use vs Intrinsic Model Quality00:03:07 Efficiency Gains via Internalization00:04:28 Geometric Deep Learning & Equivariance00:07:05 Limitations of Group Theory00:09:17 Category Theory: Algebra with Colors00:11:25 The Systematic Guide of Lego-like Math00:13:49 The Alchemy Analogy & Unifying Theory00:15:33 Information Destruction & Reasoning00:18:00 Pathfinding & Monoids in Computation00:20:15 System 2 Reasoning & Error Awareness00:23:31 Analytic vs Synthetic Mathematics00:25:52 Morphisms & Weight Tying Basics00:26:48 2-Categories & Weight Sharing Theory00:28:55 Higher Categories & Emergence00:31:41 Compositionality & Recursive Folds00:34:05 Syntax vs Semantics in Network Design00:36:14 Homomorphisms & Multi-Sorted Syntax00:39:30 The Carrying Problem & Hopf FibrationsPetar Veličković (GDM)https://petar-v.com/Paul Lessardhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-roy-lessard/Bruno Gavranovićhttps://www.brunogavranovic.com/Andrew Dudzik (GDM)https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-dudzik-222789142/---REFERENCES:Model:[00:01:05] Veohttps://deepmind.google/models/veo/[00:01:10] Geniehttps://deepmind.google/blog/genie-3-a-new-frontier-for-world-models/Paper:[00:04:30] Geometric Deep Learning Blueprinthttps://arxiv.org/abs/2104.13478https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZB1hIJ4u8[00:16:45] AlphaGeometryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2401.08312[00:16:55] AlphaCodehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07814[00:17:05] FunSearchhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06924-6[00:37:00] Attention Is All You Needhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762[00:43:00] Categorical Deep Learninghttps://arxiv.org/abs/2402.15332

What if your biggest career advantage didn't come from your wins, but from the projects that didn't go as planned? Missy Krasner's career includes some of the boldest bets in healthcare: Google Health, Amazon Care, Box's healthcare vision. None went the way she originally envisioned. And she wouldn't change any of it. Because what she extracted from those experiences—being inside big tech's most ambitious healthcare ventures—gave her something more valuable than a conventional win: a clear understanding of what it actually takes to make change stick in the most regulated, fragmented industry in America. Now, as co-founder of Penguin AI, Missy is applying those hard-won insights to tackle the trillion-dollar administrative burden crushing healthcare. But this isn't another AI hype story. Missy has been at the forefront of healthcare innovation for over 20 years. She was building Google Health before meaningful use existed. She was evangelizing platform thinking when electronic health records were still competing with manila folders. She's witnessed three watershed moments transform the industry: meaningful use driving EHR adoption, COVID accelerating telehealth adoption, and now AI. And she believes this moment is fundamentally different. Why Missy's experiences at Google, Amazon, and Box taught her more about healthcare transformation than conventional success ever could What's really happening with the trillion-dollar administrative burden and how AI can finally address it at scale Why the current political and economic disruption will accelerate consumer-driven healthcare innovation Missy's candid assessment of the headwinds facing women leaders right now and what it means for advancement Why "nobody's coming to save us" and what that means for how women need to show up in leadership What fuels Missy after decades of innovation and her advice for anyone trying to push through when it's hard About the Guest: Missy Krasner brings 35+ years of healthcare experience spanning big tech (Amazon, Google, Box), government (helped launch the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT), venture capital (Canvas Ventures, Redesign Health), and now as co-founder of Penguin AI, which recently closed a $30 million Series A. She serves on multiple digital health boards including Uplift, Overalls, and Syntax, and holds degrees from Stanford (M.A.) and UCLA (B.A.).

Ein Fundstück aus der Frühgeschichte der Kafka-Rezeption

Auf den Tag genau

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 8, 2025 10:12


Als Franz Kafka am 3. Juni 1924 starb, war er, trotz immerhin 46 Publikationen zu Lebzeiten, ein der Literaturwelt weithin unbekannter Autor. Außer seinem Freund und Nachlassverwalter Max Brod hatte kaum jemand in Kafka den Jahrhundertkünstler erkannt, als der er später posthum auf dem Parnass einzog, und so darf der Artikel eines Autors namens Heinrich Dreyfuß, den wir in den Altonaer Nachrichten vom 8. Dezember 1925 fanden, wohl als echte Entdeckung gelten. Dreyfuß, über dessen Person wir leider keine belastbaren Erkenntnisse einzuholen vermochten, empfiehlt Kafka nicht einfach als Geheimtipp einem neugierigen Publikum; er stellt ihn unumwunden in Reihe mit Granden der deutschen Literaturgeschichte wie Goethe und E.T.A. Hoffmann. Dass auch ein Jakob Wassermann in dieser Reihe auftaucht, mag ebenso überraschen wie der Vergleich Kafka'scher Syntax mit gotischer Sakralarchitektur – interessant, ja brisant ist Dreyfuß‘ Argument allemal. Frank Riede stellt es uns vor.

In dieser Sitzung verlassen wir den Bereich von Syntax und Morphologie und wenden uns einem Feld zu, das in den kommenden Jahren sicher an Bedeutung gewinnen wird: der Multimodalität – mit besonderem Fokus auf Prosodie und Intonation. Wir beleuchten, wie bestimmte syntaktische Muster nicht nur durch Wortstellung, sondern auch durch ihre lautliche Realisierung Bedeutung tragen. Im Zentrum steht dabei der narrative Konnektor „und dann“ (sowie Variationen wie „und bald darauf“) und die Frage, wie diese Strukturen speziell beim Erzählen und Erklären eingesetzt werden. Zudem möchte ich zeigen, wie sich Generative KI (GenKI) nutzen lässt, um spezifische gesprochensprachliche Phänomene in Videos (z. B. aus der Sendung „Dingsda“) effizient zu identifizieren.Präsentation (*.pdf): Alexander Lasch. 2025. Konstruktionsgrammatik. Zenodo. DOI: ⁠https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17370032⁠.
