RIP Alex Collins The former Seahawks running back, known for his Irish dance touchdown celebration, has died at just 28 years old
A star player with just over 3,700 rushing yards in three seasons at the University of Arkansas, Collins was drafted by thein the fifth round back in 2016. His first NFL touchdown came as a rookie against the eventual NFC champion Atlanta Falcons. After Seattle waived him in 2017, Collins went on to start 22 games for the Baltimore Ravens over the ensuing two seasons, and he enjoyed a 973-yard campaign to go along with 6 touchdowns in his first year in Baltimore.
With multiple running backs out due to injury, Seattle brought Collins back in the middle of the 2020 season, and he an immediate impact by scoring a touchdown against the. Collins stayed in Seattle for what was his final NFL season in 2021, rushing for over 400 yards on 108 carries and a pair of touchdowns.
Just a few months ago, Collins played for the Memphis Showboats in the USFL, and while he ended the season on injured reserve, he did get to throw a touchdown pass on a trick play. Collins’ trademark celebration after every touchdown was his Irish dance, which he says was beneficial for his on-field performance. His dancing, including his impact off the field by encouraging a bullied 12-year-old kid to continue learning Irish dance, was featured in a segment on the CBS Evening News back in 2017.
The Seahawks organization and his former teammates Tyler Lockett, Tre Brown, and Geno Smith have all expressed condolences and prayers for his family after this incredibly sad and heartbreaking news.

Interpretable Deep Learning Applied to Rip Current Detection and LocalizationA rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major threat to beach safety. Identification of rip currents is important for lifeguards when making decisions on where to designate patrolled areas. The public also require information while deciding where to swim when lifeguards are not on patrol. In the present study we present an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that both identifies whether a rip current exists in images/video, and also localizes where that rip current occurs. While there have been some significant advances in AI for rip current detection and localization, there is a lack of research ensuring that an AI algorithm can generalize well to a diverse range of coastal environments and marine conditions. The present study made use of an interpretable AI method, gradient-weighted class-activation maps (Grad-CAM), which is a novel approach for amorphous rip current detection. The training data/images were diverse and encompass rip currents in a wide variety of environmental settings, ensuring model generalization. An open-access aerial catalogue of rip currents were used for model training. Here, the aerial imagery was also augmented by applying a wide variety of randomized image transformations (e.g., perspective, rotational transforms, and additive noise), which dramatically improves model performance through generalization. To account for diverse environmental settings, a synthetically generated training set, containing fog, shadows, and rain, was also added to the rip current images, thus increased the training dataset approximately 10-fold. Interpretable AI has dramatically improved the accuracy of unbounded rip current detection, which can correctly classify and localize rip currents about 89% of the time when validated on independent videos from surf-cameras at oblique angles. The novelty also lies in the ability to capt
