Will be at #emnlp2023 as a co-organizer of the BLP and CALCS workshops. Looking forward to present the MultiCoNER v2 paper, a dataset on fine-grained complex NER in 12 languages.
Feel free to say hi. Will be happy to talk about research and music!

@deviparikh @yutori_ai Congratulations!

@MimansaJ @ReviewAcl Yes

I am looking for 2-3 emergency reviewers for the @ReviewAcl January cycle. If you are experienced with LLM training, reasoning, and can review a paper by the next 2 days, please reach out to me. Thanks

[Sudipta Kar @cryptexcode]

@prajdabre They should open a reporting portal. I know an Einstein like this.

ICLR has placed OpenReview in a difficult position, so I want to offer a few words about the OpenReview team working behind the scenes.

OpenReview has long been operated at UMass Amherst as a non-profit organization founded by Andrew McCallum. Each year, Andrew must raise more than $2 million to support a 20-person team that provides essential infrastructure for most major conferences.

I once asked Andrew what might have been a naïve question: whether he had considered developing a business model for OpenReview, given its prominence and the seemingly obvious opportunities. He pushed back, explaining that everything he has done for OpenReview is driven by a commitment to serve and strengthen the academic community. He is willing to devote significant personal effort to ensure the platform remains freely accessible to all.

We should not blame such a brilliant and dedicated team for an accidental issue. Otherwise, fewer people would be willing to shoulder this kind of responsibility in the future.

Deep respect to the OpenReview team! I’m grateful for their work and happy to support in any way!

This is a great scope to actually make impact on the system rather than just talking on the social media :)

@TaliaRinger My one also started clapping a few weeks ago. Most funny moments are when he starts sleeping and randomly claps his tiny hands. Even during the night, he claps while sleeping.

Can we say that #Coldplay live production team hallucinated just like our LLMs do?

[Sudipta Kar @cryptexcode]

@EmanuelaBoros Have to try. Thanks!

I am kinda enjoying the LLM powered auto-complete plugins for Visual Code throughout the last couple of years. Suggestions are mostly okay. But what irritates me is the UX. Sometimes I type tab, because I want an indent. And what I get is 15 lines of code vomit to clean up. Wby?

[Sudipta Kar @cryptexcode]

@sarahookr And the painful part is feature engineering days could give a cause-affect landscape, which is non-existent with prompt engineering.

Early days of Google Translate were hilarious. But this translation approach with unnecessary reasoning and eventually poor translation by DeepSeek R1 (8B and 32B) is whole different level, ROFL.

I created a Python project starter repo for students that helps maintain good code quality while doing research projects: https://t.co/HRFdxAucsI

I was opinionated and made only one choice for each tool, but there are other options too!

Very anxious about friends and in general every person and their families in Los Angeles. Hope they will be safe and the situation will get better. Climate change is real and needs more attention than money making machines.

2025 will be the first year in the history with strong model capabilities getting integrated into consumer grade products at scale. Happy new year!

[Sudipta Kar @cryptexcode]

2024 is very memorable for me. Personally, became a dad. Professionally, I had to spend a ridiculous amount of time on social media to stay updated with new models and capabilities popping up here and there.
