#Introduction I've been around the Fediverse for a few years, but at some point I ended up abandoning this account 🙈

So... let’s try again.

I teach computer science at VRAIN-UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain). My research interests include things like explainable and symbolic #AI, #probabilistic #logic programming/term rewriting, #causality, #concurrency, #programming languages, #reversible computing, program #verification, and #debugging.

Outside of work, I'm into #photography and I'm a big #sci-fi fan (books, movies, and TV shows). I also enjoy traveling, cooking, and getting outside for a walk or a run.

Languages: Spanish (native), Catalan, English, and some Italian.

Bovine's nauseating narrative at this press conference (seriously, don't bother to watch it unless you completely lack a gag reflex) will be used in future courses in #rhetoric, #journalism, #political science, and #history as a pure example of #fascist #propaganda and manipulation.

Seriously: Goebbels had nothing on this guy.

He frames everything in terms of "choices" and "consequences"; but this is manipulation, a strawman: everybody agrees that choices can have consequences.

But he conveniently forgets to categorize these "consequences" as just or unjust, good or evil. He pretends that murder is simply a consequence of choosing to help a person who's been injured, much as a broken window is the consequence of carelessly throwing a baseball. It's just physics; one thing logically follows the other. It's #causality, and who can argue with that?

☸️ ➿ #Structures and #Entanglements – When #Causality is no longer sufficient ↩️

What if we have been looking for #phenomena in the wrong place for years?

Not forces, not energies, not entities – structures could be the key.

In the #Zoomposium with #WaltervonLucadou, he points out: Certain relationships are not causal, but entangled.

Two decades of chasing perfect video pixel prediction have exposed how far our models are from true physical understanding. Even LeCun admits current LLM‑driven video generators fall short on causality and benchmarks. What does this mean for future AI research? Dive in. #AI #LLM #VideoPixelPrediction #Causality

If you're working with causal graphs in R, then take a look at caugi, which is an R package by Frederik Fabricius Bjerre that I supervised the making of. It's blazing fast (built in Rust) and intuitive to work with.

"Sometimes there's no one, other times there's everyone at once"
said one of my clients, a doctor, to me.

It's not just about clients, I thought.

Maybe this is a positive cosmic law.

🧠 “Correlation ≠ causation”? This new study put it to the test: activity in posterior parietal #cortex not only correlates with navigation choices, it is causal. Using a #BrainMachineInterface, mice could steer solely from these signals.
