@spaikin @TheAgenda @tvo Thank you so much and congratulations on an amazing run! I don't even live in 🇨🇦 but I've listened to the Agenda for years. 😄 You're top notch, @spaikin -- can't wait to see what you're up to next.
Another fairly grim night for our polling technologies.
The magnitude of the polling miss is not the point--all the mistakes are made in the same (partisan) direction.
📢 Looking for annotators! 📢
Any Finnish speakers who would like to assist in a #NLProc project about LLMs? We have about 300 data points that we need a human annotator for. Please get in touch via DMs / by replying below.
Thanks in advance!
"Nobel committee wanted to jump on the hype train." How much of this is on us as researchers though? Ultra-hyped results and sweeping claims of superintelligence based on a very narrow sets of benchmarks over years seem like a good way to get to a situation we're in...
Today seemed like a good day to read up on Hopfield nets, so I pulled out the #1 ML book I know: https://t.co/8FHPSO1Ate
Thanks @srush_nlp for using it as your course text at Harvard back in the day! found it by stalking the CS281 site after taking 181 :).
Yes! If you want to know more about Hopfield networks and Boltzmann machines (Hinton's extension of Hopfield), and how they relate to Ising models, PGMs, and EBMs, see sec 4.3 of my book (https://t.co/yWK8zMbMRA)
One aspect of the ML community that I have always treasured is our openness to borrowing ideas from other fields. It's great that the physicists are happy with this, too!
