US to spend $5 billion on health, construction research powered by AI https://t.co/fPk9ARJjcG
interesting part
"longer-lasting building materials" why this?

One primary reason for me to volunteer as a PC for AISTATS 2025 was that I wanted to bring it to Asia and hopefully to a location where visa is easy for most folks. Thailand is really an ideal place because visa policies are the most relaxed. I hope more conferences will follow.

This month in 1980: a Japanese computer scientist published a paper proposing the “Neocognitron,” the neural net that directly inspired CNNs.

As an empathy researcher, I have been frustrated for a long time by the jumble of definitions we use, which is preventing progress. Grateful to the authors for taking this important step, and will GLADLY go with these definitions moving forward.

Today we’ve lost a giant and a visionary: Prof. Daniel Kahneman has passed at the age of 90. The Princeton SPIA community shares our condolences with his family and all who knew him, learned from him, and loved him. https://t.co/JbTXQSuzlw

I am fortunate to have an advisor in David Forsyth @IllinoisCS, who has a history of mentoring students with diverse backgrounds, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 4/5

No surprise that demand for information science degrees in the US (and likely worldwide) increased dramatically in the last decade https://t.co/oVlGNB82vb And is expected to continue to grow. #informationscience #datascience

i understand people busy doing NLP research don't feel the urge to be involved in the orgnizational aspects, i am guilty too.

but we really took a wrong turn getting to a state where the naacl chair and future acl president together have ~25 papers in major nlp venues.

I heard that Ian Witten passed away over the weekend. He was a titan of algorithms, ML, and of digital libraries. With Alistair Moffat and Tim Bell, he co-wrote Managing Gigabytes, which was hugely influential on the early architectures of Google. He was such a generous soul.

ICYMI: 4 corporate publishers (Hachette, Penguin Random House, Wiley and HarperCollins) are suing us to stop us from lending digitized books. That is literally what @OpenLibrary does, so our site is 100% at stake.

Exciting news: The AP Stylebook has now been updated, calling for the use of “incarceration” over “internment” when referring to Japanese American history!

So one of our #CHI2022 submissions was rejected because we'd already previewed our findings in the form of an LBR that was 1/3 the length? What's the point of sharing late breaking work as LBRs if you can't extend them into conference papers???

Attending a virtual workshop while taking care of kids was a delightful new experience with the help of wireless earbuds. I was not participating but just spotting words and phrases though.

I don't think I've used "landmark" to describe something before but Donna Harman's "Information Retrieval: The Early Years" is exactly that. An amazing review of the history leading up to modern search and recommendation. Free until 15 October 2019.

Hi, I'm the NTCIR Dialogue Evaluation Task. I have been accepted for #ntcir15 .
My mother is @ntcirstc . I have two subtasks: Dialogue Quality (DQ) and ND (Nugget Detection). These subtasks are the same as the #ntcir14 STC-3 DQ and ND subtasks.

Impressive increase but possibly NLP had not received enough attention compared with image and audio?

[ACL2019 @ACL2019_Italy]

Excited to announce that we received a record breaking 2820 submissions, an increase of c. 75% over ACL 2018! (after removing withdrawn submissions but before desk rejects). Thank you to everyone who submitted and to everyone who will help us with the huge reviewing effort!
