Projects that span government, academia, industry, different countries, and multiple fields of study are extremely rare. I've been lucky to be a part of such a collaboration and we put out a paper in Nature's Scientific Reports summarizing some of the recent work.

[Skyler Speakman @PhonesDrones]

'Slicing and dicing' data is usually discouraged due to increased rates of false positives and making the work harder to replicate. However, there are some techniques that can analyze the exponentially-many subsets of tabular data in scalable, disciplined ways.

Really nice and insightful @IEEEsps interview with the wise-beyond-her-years @RTFMCelia. https://t.co/RENE1nbjCg

[Pin-Yu Chen @pinyuchenTW]

I'll be giving a talk on "Exploring and Mitigating Safety Risks in Large Language Models and Generative AI", covering
- safety risks in fine-tuning LLMs
- LLM jailbreak mitigation
- prompt engineering for safety debugging
- robust detection of AI-generated text from LLMs

[Kush Varshney कुश वार्ष्णेय @krvarshney]

Check out the @IBM Mixture of Experts podcast with a debut appearance for @kaoutarTech and a return appearance for @PhonesDrones. They, along with the inimitable Shobhit Varshney, cover topics like small models, privacy, and AI hardware. https://t.co/EI96bOzr18

[Kush Varshney कुश वार्ष्णेय @krvarshney]

The next episode of the @IBM Mixture of Experts podcast is out.

Among other topics, @PhonesDrones, does a great mini-lecture on representation engineering from the beautiful courtyard of the @IBMResearch Africa lab in Nairobi.

I wanted to share a bunch of ideas the human-centered and trustworthy AI teams at IBM Research labs worldwide have been simmering and are now externalizing. I encourage topics that might not be hyped, but are nevertheless important and ones that researchers believe in. /1
