@kchonyc @ChatGPTapp So you weren’t also upset with the repeated numbers on the calculator or the missing digits?

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

I'm thrilled to share that I was named to the inaugural FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. I'm looking forward to working with these amazing folks!

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

@laurenfklein Thanks! That’s more encouraging than my kids who asked why I would agree to such a thing! 🤣

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

I'm excited (and maybe more nervous) to share that I am the Director of Graduate Studies for the Emory CS Master of Science Program.

my inbox is a mess. has anybody tried an ai assistant for reading/responding to unread emails that they're happy with?

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

@weisshelter Thanks for the vote of confidence!

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

I submitted 2 grants this week - one that had some assistance from a GenAI assistant and one that didn't use any assistance. I wonder which one will get reviewed better...

[Joyce Ho @joycehoUT]

I loved this talk (as well as all the others @CHILconference). Now if only I could raise money to train these from scratch…

[Kyunghyun Cho @kchonyc]

we all want to and need to be prepared to train our own large-scale language models from scratch.

why?

1. transparency or lack thereof
2. maintainability or lack thereof
3. compliance or lack thereof

and because we can, thanks to amazing open-source and open-platform ecosystem.

This recently happened to us with 3 reviewers advocating for acceptance and the associate chair rejecting it. It's so timely yet hurts so much.

[Oh the irony @IronyPhD]

Reviewer 1: Accept!
Reviewer 2: Accept.
Associate Editor: I didn’t like it.
Editor: Reject.
