@emnlpmeeting Sounds good, thanks

Hey EMNLP'25 (@emnlpmeeting) Are you planning to update your webpage?
Other than the main conference track deadline, I can't find the deadlines for any other tracks, e.g., industry.

A clip from our Davos panel in which Daphne Koller and I talk about the saturation of LLM performance, the exhaustion of text data, and the necessity of using sensory data to get AI systems to understand the world.
I make the point that training AI systems to understand the world from video will require the use of non-generative architectures because predicting video in pixel space is too hard. I describe the idea of Joint Embedding Predictive architectures without mentioning the name: predicting in abstract representation space.

Companies are planning to train models with 100x more computation than today’s state of the art, within 18 months. No one knows how powerful they will be. And there’s essentially no regulation on what they’ll be able to do with these models.

Many people don’t understand how challenging Minecraft is for AI agents.

Let me put it this way. AlphaGo solves a board game with only 1 task, countably many states, and full observability.

Minecraft has infinite tasks, infinite gameplay, and tons of hidden world knowledge. 🧵

What if a search engine actually asked you what sources you prefer (like reddit) rather than spying on you and then still selling your query to the highest bidding advertiser?
