The phrase below can have seven different meanings depending on which word is stressed.

If text with similar ambiguity is in your LLM prompts, how can you be sure the model is interpreting it how you intended?

Text is messy, language models are messy

What's holding back research isn't a lack of verbose, low-signal, high-noise papers. Using LLMs to automatically generate 100x more of those will not accelerate science, it will slow it down.

@varunshenoy_ What model is that?

[François Chollet @fchollet]

People don't want a ML framework, they want a simple, maintainable, performant solution to an automation problem.

Profit isn't a purpose, it's a result. Purpose is the reason we do the thing that makes the profit.

Our novel weakly supervised training method for speech recognition leverages text metadata surrounding public videos to train a Transformer model, achieving up to 20% relative reduction in WER compared with the supervised-only baselines. https://t.co/ZbsxKA9A1f #ICASSP2020

When you read a paper that explains something in a convoluted and cryptic way, and you struggle to follow... you can be certain the authors didn't understand it clearly either.

Among the things I miss the most is giving talks and sharing ideas and research directions I find exciting.

So I've decided to record a few talks I recently gave and share them on Youtube.

Here is the first one on the Future of Transfer Learning in NLP https://t.co/jcdk48Rhie

Visiting one webpage on @cnn, just now, caused my device to call out to 88 websites/services for the purposes of content, ads, and tracking…and in the time it took me to type this it has jumped to 97

A few I can understand but near 100?
This is common across most webpages today

Help! Anyone got recommended links for parents suddenly homeschooling kids in the 8-11 age range? Semi-structured material, supplementary over standard SFUSD curriculum, engrossing. Ideally, project-based and doesn't require FT parent involvement.
