@paultoo Given that Google developed the transformer architecture (ie the engine that drives GPT-4) I would still bet on them unless OpenAI proves it can create something novel beyond ensembles, reconfigurations and training data augmentation in its research.

@FajriKoto @eaclmeeting This is awesome! Congratulations

Antimicrobial stewardship in vet clinics - fascinating use of NLP in an #LHS James Gilkerson @brianwithaneye @karinv @ncats_nih_gov The pet pictures were the best part of the presentation 🙂

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

@FajriKoto Probably because the devs were forced to make it on windows and couldn’t use any of the pre-existing libraries 😆

@m_flash_vet @bconeil @mstevenson888 @JRGilkerson @GlennFBrowning Nicely done!

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

There’s a lot of excitement from the industry, myself included, on what’s possible with large language models such as @OpenAI’s GPT-3. This paper is a great demonstration out of on where they fall short and how to evaluate: https://t.co/fC4k79XUhx

@karinv @eltimster @JRGilkerson @LauraHardefeldt Thanks @karinv! I had an amazing supervisory team and help along the way.

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

@YuliaOtmakhova Nice work, you are incredible!

Very excited to see my Clinical NLP PhD supervisor getting some well deserved recognition for her uncanny ability to find meaningful uses for AI.

[karin verspoor (professor) @karinv]

I am super excited to have been selected as a finalist for a Women in #AI awards 2022 in the AI in Innovation category.

I applied for this award on the basis of my work in chemical patent mining in collaboration with Elsevier, in the context of the #ChEMU shared tasks.

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

@karinv Congratulations! Well deserved.

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

Another great study from the @FVASunimelb and @NCAS_Aus research group that demonstrate the effectiveness of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in reducing usage to combat Antimicrobial Resistance using our NLP models to label the data.

[Brian Hur @brianwithaneye]

Happy to announce that our work applying NLP to help combat Antimicrobial Resistance in Australia was published

Great notes on 2021 year in review for the world of Natural Language Processing

[Sebastian Ruder @seb_ruder]

NLP News #63: 2021 in Review; Safer pre-trained models; Embeddings: Larger ≠ better

The latest NLP News discusses highlights and my favourite new tasks of 2021, new safer pre-trained models, and recent large-scale sentence embeddings.

Pleased to finally share work on clinical concept normalization developed for the #n2c2 #clinicalNLP challenges in 2019 on the MCN corpus. Work by students Yuxia Wang and @brianwithaneye co-supervised by me and @eltimster.

Anyone know of scalability frameworks relevant for scaling data- and technology-related innovation? I am working on two projects involving scalability and thus far in my search the scalability literature doesn’t address the excellent points in this article.

Are you a pet owner in Australia whose dog or cat has been to the vet for an injury, illness or skin condition in recent years? Then you can be part of important research about pet medications by completing this 15-minute survey. Thanks!!
