Amazing talk by @VitoOstuni and Christoph Kofler on Personalized Recommendations on Netflix. #NetflixResearch #TheWebConf2023 #WWW2023

@Rio It was ridiculously undervalued. I just wish I bought more when it was sub $100 in November. It was literally a free money situation.

@edchi Can’t wait to check it out! I got an invite email this morning to try it today, but it led to a waitlist 🙃 Probably I wasn’t fast enough.

@JackK The invite to try today led to a waitlist 🙃

Probably I wasn’t fast enough. Looking forward to checking it out once I’m in!

@badshah79 Yes it looks like this but the realtor swears it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to customize it yourself for only 800M 😂

[Erik Schmidt @erikmschmidt]

@dawen_liang It lies with such confidence 😂

[Erik Schmidt @erikmschmidt]

@dawen_liang Yea I don’t think it’s ready to discuss bleeding edge research, but it’s ability to discuss existing methodology is so promising. It’s ready for stuff in textbooks. Just the ability to ask clarifying questions is so promising (vs reading the thing that wasn‘t clear 5 more times)

[Erik Schmidt @erikmschmidt]

@dawen_liang This is my thought as well. Communication is already not so great in ML…perhaps we can communicate more effectively without actually getting better at it (maybe worse) 😂

[Erik Schmidt @erikmschmidt]

@keunwoochoi I’m actually more excited about it reading for me than writing. It could make learning so much more efficient. Even great ML papers are often poorly written or purposefully cryptic. The idea of just being able to ask ChatGPT clarifying questions is amazing.

@KirkwoodMtnCoop That’s just Jerry on his way to get his first ski lesson. He prefers to do it when there’s 3 feet of fresh pow 😂

Joking aside, the problem seems to be a lack of accountability. If negligence is involved the tow should cost $1000 and come with a careless driving ticket.

Looking for an audio embedding benchmark for music? Working on a music ML task and need a good audio model to start? Supporting code for our @ISMIRConf paper is now available including the MULE model: https://t.co/YJFETjwRuv

@affige_yang Congratulations!!

Happy to announce we're accepting applications from currently enrolled PhD students in Machine Learning (or related areas) who are graduating before summer 2023 for multiple full-time Research Scientist positions at Netflix that would begin then. https://t.co/FSuGtJ6xvI

[James McInerney @mcinerneyj]

Now open for applications for ML research internships at @NetflixResearch next summer, a variety of topics on offer & a great way to spend 3 months in a cool environment, interns in our team often end up with a publication as a result https://t.co/dXSsGGk7I6
