This article began life as a talk I gave in late 2024. I love formal methods—I should say that to begin with, because this article is mostly about what doesn’t work when trying to do FM projects. Over the last 20 years, formal methods have grown and grown, and I’m proud to say that Galois has made its own contributions to this success. I made a lot of mistakes when I was scoping and running formal methods projects. I’d like other people to avoid the pitfalls I fell into, and hopefully make bigg

I’m excited to publish this guest post by Nick McGreivy, a physicist who last year earned a PhD from Princeton. Nick used to be optimistic that AI could accelerate physics research. But when he tried to apply AI techniques to real physics problems the results were disappointing. I’ve written before about the Princeton School of AI Safety, which holds that the impact of AI is likely to be similar to that of past general-purpose technologies such as electricity, integrated circuits, and the Inter

A replication drive focused on results that lean on three methods commonly used in biomedical research in Brazil. Credit: Mauro Pimentel/AFP/Getty In an unprecedented effort, a coalition of more than 50 research teams has surveyed a swathe of Brazilian biomedical studies to double-check their findings — with dismaying results. The teams were able to replicate the results of less than half of the tested experiments1. That rate is in keeping with that found by other large-scale attempts to repro

In many robotics and VR/AR applications, fast camera motions cause a high level of motion blur, causing existing camera pose estimation methods to fail. In this work, we propose a novel framework that leverages motion blur as a rich cue for motion estimation rather than treating it as an unwanted artifact. Our approach works by predicting a dense motion flow field and a monocular depth map directly from a single motion-blurred image. We then recover the instantaneous camera velocity by solving a

Animals do not always need to be used in preclinical studies.Credit: Evgenyi Eg / Getty While Catharine Krebs was working in a human-genetics laboratory during her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles, there was a line that she got used to seeing at the end of papers: “These findings will need to be confirmed in vivo.“ What that usually means is in an animal model. “You just say it without even thinking, because you’ve been trained to think that that’s the next best line of investi
