I've had enough.

Colleagues posting their successes here, discussing cool findings, blogging events: thank you so much!

I'll miss your thoughts and reading suggestions dearly.

But, it's been too long that I supported this platform. There was no real alternative, but...

Elon Musk should pay taxes!

[@[email protected] 🕊️🇺🇦 @arjenpdevries]

If not: see you in real life, somewhere, some time.

Staying to participate here would legitimise the platform, keep it sustained - I no longer want to do that.

I'll end my presence here with a small experiment.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!!

This has changed!

Maybe I can convince more of you to start social presence on Mastodon, e.g. on my own https://t.co/RmnBlaiGoJ instance (IR), at https://t.co/y3LzwQBkjF (ML/AI) or https://t.co/cjdrCkdQjb (Dutch researchers), or any other instance. If so, drop me a note!

A thread that gives great insight in the "prestigious" membership of the EU Academy of Sciences I was offered last week.

[Richard Easther @REasther]

The other day I got an email telling me I had received the signal honour of being elected to membership of the "EU Academy of Sciences"...

We finally finished writing the description of ClueWeb22, the corpus with 10 billion web pages + rich visual information: https://t.co/1f6FBI9sOJ. I hope you all find the description in the paper informative.

BTW, that was triggered by looking at the winners of the Search Awards, congrats to all of you!

@bcs_irsg Did you know how bad the advertisements are that feature on your website? Here's a screenshot. I'd recommend going without ads!

@XiongChenyan @metzlerd @CharlotteHase Courageous to say that out loud. I agree with you Chenyan!

When you put out results that you later learn that are incorrect, then you ought to retract the paper; so others do not continue to build on the wrong results. Award or no award.

@juansequeda @erikapullum @EmilyRiederer tnx, I read the 70s paper but of course IBM had to build a real product and find some way to squeeze the real world's irregularities into their approach :-)

@juansequeda @erikapullum @EmilyRiederer I do not think that Codd included NULL values in his proposal for a relational model for data management.

Overall, it’s clear that Transformers can be trained to encode far-from-trivial learning algorithms, but *how* they encode such algorithms is still a wide open question.

See our paper for additional experiments and many more open questions [https://t.co/3aQ0XWWPV9]!
