What is (de)politicization and what is wrong with it?
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract This article attempts to clarify the meaning of (de)politicization. Politicization sometimes refers to the inappropriate intrusion of partisan loyalties in nonpolitical social domains (affective politicization). Politicization can also constitute an ideal of civic agency and energy (contestatory politicization).

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Arabic phrase Allāhu a‘lam—“God knows best”—is used frequently in everyday Muslim speech and to conclude seemingly assertive statements or fatwas. At its heart lies the recognition that God is the All‐Knowing, whereas humans know next to nothing. Reflecting on this recognition, this essay discusses Sufi refusals of the ethnographic project

The Anthropocene and the End of Nuclear Disaster: Normalizing the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article places the concept of disaster in critical dialogue with that of the Anthropocene, which introduces new imaginaries that negatively affect the governance of crises like nuclear accidents. I argue that tropes surrounding the Anthropocene can depict certain events as apocalyptic calamities while also portraying other events as mere “

Burying Futures: Artisanal Mining Deaths and the Politics of Negligence in Zimbabwe
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the gold‐mining town of Kwekwe, central Zimbabwe, injury and death are a constant presence. Collapsing shafts, sudden explosions, gang fights, and neglected health infrastructure characterize the everyday lives of the town's impoverished residents.

Online Structured Laplace Approximations for Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting [PDF]
, 2018 We introduce the Kronecker factored online Laplace approximation for overcoming catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. The method is grounded in a Bayesian online learning framework, where we recursively approximate the posterior after every task

SensorsIn dynamic environments, localization accuracy often deteriorates due to an outdated or invalid database. Traditional approaches typically use Transfer Learning (TL) to address this issue, but TL suffers from the problem of catastrophic forgetting.

An on-line algorithm for semantic forgetting
, 2011 Ontologies that evolve through use to support new domain tasks can grow extremely large. Moreover, large ontologies require more resources to use and have slower response times than small ones. To help address this problem, we present an on-line semantic

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Robust Policy Optimization to Prevent Catastrophic Forgetting
CoRRLarge language models are commonly trained through multi-stage post-training: first via RLHF, then fine-tuned for other downstream objectives. Yet even small downstream updates can compromise earlier learned behaviors (e.g., safety), exposing a brittleness known as catastrophic forgetting.
