By Gemini, one could create a high-quality survey paper on any subject at any time. This is fascinating news for researchers, virtually in any domain. @pacslab
Mor Harchol-Balter (CMU) has a very nice new book: Introduction to Probability for Computing. Free PDF on the website: https://t.co/m0aTya3whp.
As opposed to some other (excellent) books in this space, this book focuses on reaching an *undergrad* audience. Check it out!
There is at least one industry research lab where the leadership believes that (super)human-level AI:
- is attainable
- is a scientific research question, not just a question of more compute and more data.
- is not "just around the corner". It will take a while.
- is not an existential risk.
- requires contributions from the entire research community, because no one has a monopoly on good ideas.
- hence requires open source platforms and open research, because no one has a monopoly on good ideas.
- is going to change human condition for the better.
Congratulations to our LURA UG researcher, Prabjot Dhaliwal, for winning the best Poster/Demo Paper award at IEEE ACSOS23.
