Hey #CausalTwitter, some news about our DoWhy python library - we are excited by how people are using DoWhy and we are working to support a broader community!

[Microsoft Research @MSFTResearch]

To broaden access to this important causal library—widely used with 1M+ downloads—DoWhy is moving to an independent PyWhy GitHub organization. The first step: collaboration with @awscloud, which is contributing advanced graphical causal model algorithms: https://t.co/oEXiX5TQFU

✨I’m on the academic job market!✨

I'm a CS Postdoc at Stanford in the @stanfordnlp. I develop AI and causal inference to tackle societal issues like online civility, racial justice, sustainability, and more.

Check out the thread for details!

What happens when LLMs encounter information that contradicts their static knowledge? 🤔

Discover our findings, including a new dataset and interpretability method, in our ACL 2024 paper! 🧵👇

very well-deserved, @kous2v! Congratulations!

[Koustuv Saha @kous2v]

Thank you for the award, @sigchi! I actually had my 1st full-paper in-person presentation at CHI after four years of remote attendance and presentations! #CHI2024 💕

Thanks for the click, @DrSanchariDas. Thanks again to my coauthors @Pranshu258 @GloriaMark_PhD @emrek @munmun10

[Koustuv Saha @kous2v]

Happy that our #CHI2024 paper on the observer effect received an honorable mention award! 🏆 One of my favorite papers, and it was a joyful journey to do this work ❤️

Thanks again to my amazing coauthors @Pranshu258 @GloriaMark_PhD @emrek @munmun10

Excited to release the AI Controller Interface, making it easier to tightly integrate and experiment with new strategies for controlling #LLM generation with custom logic, data, constrained decoding, parallel generations, ... cc: @m_moskal

[Madan Musuvathi @madanMus]

Folks, give this new tool from RiSE a spin: https://t.co/GTx6L2zOzh. Prompts are WASM programs and gives you a flexible/programmable way to control the output of an LLM. Semantics matter :)

[tobi lutke @tobi]

This is actually brilliant work by microsoft: https://t.co/X3StwYxXr6.

Sending mini WASM programs instead of prompts to LLM providers would be incredibly powerful. Multiturn, , Grammar, COT, RAG, function calling, etc could all massively benefit from this

[Aniket Vashishtha @AniketVashisht8]

Had a great time presenting our work on causal inference! Thanks for the opportunity to interact with other researchers producing such interesting work on utilising LLMs for causal reasoning! #AAAI24
Work done at @MSFTResearch

[Emre Kıcıman @emrek]

Had a great conversation with @AleksanderMolak today and am looking forward to the causality and LLMs AAAI workshop on Tuesday!

Prompts are the new programming language, #LLMs are the new hardware architecture, and AICI is the new LLM ISA that guides the LLM to generate correct content. #ArtificialIntelligence #LargeLanguageModels

The AI Controller Interface helps researchers and developers to efficiently implement existing strategies for controlling LLMs and invent new ones, enhancing LLM generation through improved accuracy, privacy, and compliance with formatting standards. https://t.co/hbY3arAgw7
