Should I use Macro F1 or Accuracy? Why not Kappa? Why do some use this, and others that? What's actually evaluated here? 😵‍💫

Happy to share the final version of this paper on multi-class classification evaluation:

It’s really incredible the absolute AI GARBAGE that people are comfortable sending to their coworkers and bosses

There’s a good chance productivity will actually *decrease* as AI adoption increases because everyone is busy wading through AI slop

[juri @nlopitz]

@kmulungu @jennfrey Why can't the AI verify itself then? It seems funny to say AI can provide novel and substantial research but can't verify itself.

[juri @nlopitz]

@kmulungu @jennfrey Of course AI can write paper, but can it provide novel research. I don't think so. I can name you many seminal papers written by humans only (e.g., Attention is all you need, BERT, and so on). Can you show me just one paper with similar impact/novelty written mostly/only by AI?

@AndreasSobottka Inwiefern würde die "Durchklick Qualität" zu nehmen, wenn sie dies im Büro machen würden? Das Problem ist doch ein anders..

[Gautam Kamath @thegautamkamath]

It's so cringe when real people I otherwise know and respect post obvious AI slop on social media, particularly when they're (supposedly) expressing their feelings. Authenticity is so rare and valuable these days, and it's sad to see people just cede it from the get-go

[juri @nlopitz]

@deliprao well, gotta appreciate the honesty. I think that it's actually better than doing a rushed read, misunderstanding everything, and then hitting the reject recommendation with a confidence of 4.

Re LLMs as reviewers to cope with submission load.

LLMs and AI models have essentially been trained on a snapshot of the past, afaik with a gap of up to 2-3 years or even more until now.

How can they be good reviewers in peer-review, and on what metric?

[Michael Merrifield @AstroMikeMerri]

Wow, so much whining about arXiv’s steps to reduce AI slop. So easy to deal with for authors who actually read their own papers before submitting them.

[juri @nlopitz]

@predict_addict yeah, it's really hard to understand how anyone could defend this. and also not everyone has to be in science.

[Christopher D. Long 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🌹 @octonion]

The backlash against arXiv is a bit odd. All they're asking is that you read your papers before submitting them.

[juri @nlopitz]

@yoavgo Who do you mean with "we"? Has someone claimed this authority.

[juri @nlopitz]

@zehavoc @aclmeeting IDK, just compare the amount of sponsors, e.g., from 2022 to 2026.

Maybe this is simply the reason? Less money, more people = higher prices. Not saying that's good (I don't think so), but maybe that's the reason.

One of the biggest problems with using LLMs as a google replacement for programming, is that getting zero relevant results on google used to be a signal that you had the wrong idea about the root cause. Whereas LLMs will happily indulge any terrible idea you suggest.

📢 Postdoc Position in NLP @ UTN in Nuremberg, Germany I am looking for a full-time postdoctoral researcher (A13/E13, initial contract for 3 yrs) starting July 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. Focus on implicit & underspecified language, background knowledge and/or biases.

[Alexi Gladstone @AlexiGlad]

looks like there's gonna be around 40k neurips submissions?

the biggest exponential in ai right now is slop

[juri @nlopitz]

@AlexiGlad Imagine the amount of wasted electricity and money that's been dumped into that. Any benefit for science? At least it doesn't show yet, I would say.

[juri @nlopitz]

@zehavoc I see, maybe you could try writing in the abstract smth like "In this short paper, we..." Perhaps it can help a little with this issue?

[juri @nlopitz]

@yashYRS Hi, the link in the paper and on arxiv to your github repo is not working. Would be great if you could fix that 🙂
