'The impact of #AI has been felt across industries from #Hollywood to publishing – and now it’s come for #modelling.

#H&M announced last week that it would create AI “twins” of 30 #models with the intention of using them in social media posts and marketing imagery if the model gives her permission.'

While reading this great paper by @djnavarro I learnt a new term: mathematistry (Box, 1976). It's using formal tools to define a statistical problem that differs from the scientific one, solving the redefined problem, and then declaring the scientific concern addressed.

The rest of the article was a great read and insight. That term was a little slap in the face that a lot of statisticians should get once in a while 🙂

SpringerLinkBetween the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Tensions Between Scientific Judgement and Statistical Model Selection - Computational Brain & BehaviorDiscussions of model selection in the psychological literature typically frame the issues as a question of statistical inference, with the goal being to determine which model makes the best predictions about data. Within this setting, advocates of leave-one-out cross-validation and Bayes factors disagree on precisely which prediction problem model selection questions should aim to answer. In this comment, I discuss some of these issues from a scientific perspective. What goal does model selection serve when all models are known to be systematically wrong? How might “toy problems” tell a misleading story? How does the scientific goal of explanation align with (or differ from) traditional statistical concerns? I do not offer answers to these questions, but hope to highlight the reasons why psychological researchers cannot avoid asking them.

Plastic kit: "Variable Fighter Girl: Klan Klang" by Aoshima.
Based on the anime "Macross Frontier", the kit includes a girl character and a fighter plane. The plane can be transformed to the demi-robot style ("Gerwalk" mode) and the girl rides on its back.

(*Attached images show a young girl with somewhat revealing clothes.)

New plastic kit : Frame Arms Girl "Izumo" (出雲).
An anthropomorphized character of the ship-style robot.
The colors of the kit itself are white and red, and I repainted them with grey so that it looks like the aircraft carrier of Japan Self-Defense Forces, Izumo (いずも)...a joke modelling.

(*Attached images show a woman character with high-cut clothes.)

New plastic kit: "Optimus Prime".
The Chinese company Trumpeter added a lot of mechanical details to the famous "Transformer" character. The size of the kit is only 12 centimeters high, but the design is realistic and I will never get tired of looking at the molds all over the body.
Some parts are pre-painted by the maker, and I colored partially for the pipes and rivets.

The full body of the bipedal robot, based on the heavy truck and equipped with the front windows of the car on its chest. The upper body is mostly red, the thighs are silver, and shanks are blue.
from a different angle. A lot of mechanical details can be seen at the forearms, the trunk, and the sides from thighs to shanks.
Upper body. A lot of pipes and cylinders are exposed at the torso.
