Please read and share this excellent FAQ on University indirect costs by my friend @broniatowski.bsky.social He explains why these funds are essential and a critical investment for research in the United States. www.linkedin.com/posts/david-...

I know I can improve my ARR reviews, but there really is no need for name calling. 😁

Helpful Insightful Probing Valuable Thoughtful Illuminating Constructive In author feedback, these are synonyms for "we hate your review."

Do reviewers purposely write confusing reviews with typos to demonstrate that the review wasn't written by a LLM?

Golden idea for an NLP paper: a group of llamas is called a "cria herd". That would make a great name for a LLM method, model, or paper. Just remember to acknowledge me in your paper. You're welcome.

Idea for GenAI app: rewrite click bait headlines to normal headlines in the browser. Input: you’ll never guess this one company organizing the best deals of the year Output: Amazon has a modest sale on phone chargers

The ARR submission checklist is already pretty extensive, but I suggest we add an additional question: "I certify that I know the difference between \citet and \citep."

ARR: Reviews are due today. Me:

I feel seen. This is why I always access my API keys from my laptop.

Do you have any of those fortune cookies that mock academics? Sure!

Starting a new year and reflecting on how lucky I am to work at @hopkinsengineer.bsky.social with amazing people @jhucompsci.bsky.social @jhuclsp.bsky.social. I was promoted to full professor in 2023, and my students presented me with this amazing poster of current and former PhD students.

Listen to @karaswisher.bsky.social's new podcast where she interviews @ruchowdh.bsky.social, @ghadfield.bsky.social and me about AI Ethics and Safety. The podcast was recorded before a live audience at @jhu.edu Bloomberg Center. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Paper at #ML42024! Clinical QA can help doctors find critical information in patient records. But where do we get training data for these systems? Generating this data from an LLM is hard. 🧵

Are Clinical T5 Models Better for Clinical Text? That's the question we asked in our #ML4H2024 paper. Turns out clinical models may not be worth it. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2412.05845

Current feeling.
