Sad that I feel like I have to do this, but I don't trust this site anymore. It was great while it lasted! I'm over at https://t.co/FmoGGNfwZC, hope to see you there ✌

Last was an interesting talk by @rsalakhu on embodied autonomous agents @ @MIT. This talk offers an intuitive primer on robot navigation and localization as well as getting into some late breaking work https://t.co/BtgPCXjTt0 (8/8)

Sunny and a bit chilly in Boston, but plenty of child activities and dog walks meant lots of time for enjoyable talks on my #AcademicRunPlaylist! High percentage of academics mentioned here are over on Mastodon, I'm at https://t.co/FmoGGNfwZC (1/8)

Next was a scathing talk on the FDA drug approval process by @gregggonsalves @ @PennMEHP. The interplay between regulators, industry, and the public is essential to understand, and has broad implications for those in management and tech as well https://t.co/v02KZ6YqN9 (7/8)

I asked #Galactica about some things I know about and I'm troubled. In all cases, it was wrong or biased but sounded right and authoritative. I think it's dangerous. Here are a few of my experiments and my analysis of my concerns. (1/9)

Last was an engaging if slightly problematic panel @ @UvA_IAS w/@RickQuax & @ariannabetti on mixed methods in big data analysis. I loved the perspectives here, but the misunderstandings of algor accuracy wrt crime data was extremely concerning https://t.co/uS00mIrDmJ (9/9)

A decent amount of rain in Boston today, but not enough to stop a good run and talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! Join me over at https://t.co/FmoGGNg4Pa (1/9)

Next was an amazing talk on the state of LLMs by @LukeZettlemoyer @ @MIT. The perspective here is spot on & identifies gaping holes in the literature that are only starting to be addressed by considering the context of scraped text. Highly recommend https://t.co/unws5ajF9l (8/9)
