Dear friends,
Welcome to the 198th edition of the Sunday Briefing. This week we’re on hiatus from blogging. While we work on our next post, you can catch up on the latest post in the Viz4Sci series: Waterfall Chart. The latest Medium post “Top 10 Books we read in 2022” and the most recent post on the G4Sci series: Network Attacks: Breaking up a network without observing it completely.
Several of you have reached out in recent weeks asking how they can help support the work we do here at Data For Science. While the Sunday Briefing is a labor of love and will always remain free, it is not without costs, and any help is appreciated.
If you wish to support our work, there are several options:
- Paid subscription to Graphs for Science or Visualization for Science which gives you complete access to the archive of previous posts.
- Subscribe to Medium using our referral link at no extra cost to you
- Directly through a one-time PayPal donation.
The very first edition of the fully revamped Probability and Statistics For Everyone is coming up on Apr 25th. This will be your chance to get up to speed with the fundamentals of Probability and Statistics from the ground up. There’s still some slots open, so Register now so you don’t miss out!

On our regularly scheduled content, we have An Introduction To Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (ZKML), a course on Neural Networks: Zero to Hero and survey of 137 emergent abilities of large language models.
On the academic front, we explore the Statistical Mechanics of Inference in Epidemic Spreading, how we can Teach Large Language Models to Self-Debug and how Disordered topological graphs enhance nonlinear phenomena.
This week’s Data Science Book is “The Recursive Book of Recursion” by Al Sweigart. As always you can find all the previous book recommendations on our website. In the video of the week, we have the perspective of Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng on Why the 6-month AI Pause is a Bad Idea.
