A New Case for Moral Skepticism: The Argument from Paradox 1 (2025)
Journal Article
Cowie, C. (in press). A New Case for Moral Skepticism: The Argument from Paradox 1. Journal of Philosophy,

It is nearly half a century since moral philosophers first began to grapple with a series of troubling axiological paradoxes. It now looks as though they may resist satisfactory resolution. Concern is growing that this supports skepticism. I provide... Read More about A New Case for Moral Skepticism: The Argument from Paradox 1.

Words Without Intentions (2025)
Journal Article
Miller, J. (in press). Words Without Intentions. Croatian Journal of Philosophy,

A commonly held position in the literature on the metaphysics of words holds that intentions are either jointly or independently necessary or sufficient for the tokening of a word. In this paper, using a modified version of an example case created by... Read More about Words Without Intentions.

Inference-Time Decomposition of Activations (ITDA): A Scalable Approach to Interpreting Large Language Models (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leask, P., & Al Moubayed, N. (2025, July). Inference-Time Decomposition of Activations (ITDA): A Scalable Approach to Interpreting Large Language Models. Presented at International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2025), Vancouver, Canada

Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) are a popular method for decomposing Large Language Model (LLM) activations into interpretable latents, however they have a substantial training cost and SAEs learned on different models are not directly comparable. Motivat... Read More about Inference-Time Decomposition of Activations (ITDA): A Scalable Approach to Interpreting Large Language Models.

A novel analytic framework to investigate differential effects of interventions to prevent obesity in children and young people. Public Health Research,

Abstract

Background. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effects of interventions to prevent obesity in children aged 5 to 18 years identified over 200 randomized trials. Interventions targeting diet, activity (including physical a...

An evaluation of economic evidence included in published randomised controlled trials of interventions to prevent obesity in children (2025)
Journal Article
Breheny, K., Spiga, F., Tomlinson, E., Summerbell, C., & Higgins, J. (in press). An evaluation of economic evidence included in published randomised controlled trials of interventions to prevent obesity in children. Public Health Research,

Abstract

Background
Childhood obesity is a public health policy priority. Policymakers need an understanding of the costs of interventions to prevent childhood obesity alongside their effectiveness when tested in randomised controlled trials (RCT...

A Machine Learning Approach to Duality in Statistical Physics (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gupta, P., Ferrari, A. E. V., & Iqbal, N. (2025, July). A Machine Learning Approach to Duality in Statistical Physics. Presented at ICML 2025: 42nd International Conference on Machine Learning, Vancouver, Canada

The notion of duality -- that a given physical system can have two different mathematical descriptions -- is a key idea in modern theoretical physics. Establishing a duality in lattice statistical mechanics models requires the construction of a dual... Read More about A Machine Learning Approach to Duality in Statistical Physics.

Rethinking Score Distilling Sampling for 3D Editing and Generation (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miao, X., Duan, H., Long, Y., & Han, J. (2025, July). Rethinking Score Distilling Sampling for 3D Editing and Generation. Presented at ICML 2025: International Conference on Machine Learning, Vancouver

Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) has emerged as a prominent method for text-to-3D generation by leveraging the strengths of 2D diffusion models. However, SDS is limited to generation tasks and lacks the capability to edit existing 3D assets. Convers... Read More about Rethinking Score Distilling Sampling for 3D Editing and Generation.

Cardinality and Utilitarianism through social interactions (2025)
Journal Article
Alon, S., & Lehrer, E. (in press). Cardinality and Utilitarianism through social interactions. American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, https://doi.org/10.1257/mic.20240068

We provide axioms that relate the preferences of each group in a society to the preferences of the subgroups contained in them. These axioms yield cardinal utility indices for each individual and a representation of group preferences as the group-dep...
