It's out! My introductory book on AI 🤖 is now published by @editionsrl. If you wish to go beyond the hype and discover a thing or two about AI (and we'll, if you can read French), simply order the book online - or if you live in a France/Belgium, buy it at your local bookstore.

Sammen med Stipendiatorganisasjonene i Norge (SiN) og Schjødt har vi utlevert en offisiell klage til EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) om det nye norskkravet for utenlandske stipendiater og postdoktorer, som vi mener bryter EØS-regelverket. https://t.co/CzOs2RxSXq

"The people who watched Trump’s television ads... had not been harmed by a transgender person, or by an immigrant, or by a woman of color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming conspiracy."

Jeg skriver i @DN_no om hvordan det er mulig å vannmerke KI-genererte tekster, basert på nye forskningsfunn fra Google. På sikt vil slike metoder kunne hjelpe skolelærere avdekke om en skoleoppgave faktisk ble skrevet av eleven eller av ChatGPT. https://t.co/MgBfwZZEpC

@kifinfo @UhrNo @sprakradet @Fpolitikk

[Pierre Lison @plison2]

Helt vanvittig at @Regjeringen velger å innføre norskopplæringskrav for stipendiater og postdoktorer på tross av innvendingene fra hele forsknings-Norge. Det er svært dårlig nyhet for norsk forskning. https://t.co/obPXBdBZ8P

[Pierre Lison @plison2]

Selv @Kunnskapsdep egen etat, @hkdir_no, anbefalte i sitt revidert forslag å droppe kravet, som er dårlig gjennomtenkt og utgjør en stor juridisk risiko (trolig i strid med EØS). Trist å se @oddmundh foretrekke å drive symbolpolitikk i stedet for å styrke språkopplæringstilbudet.

[Pierre Lison @plison2]

@torewig Ikke minst at regjeringen trosset de faglige anbefalingene fra egen etat: @hkdir_no sendte nylig et revidert forslag til forskrift hvor de anbefalte regjeringen om å droppe nettopp dette kravet. Hoel driver her med ren symbolpolitikk...

@asayeed Researchers like ourselves ? I don't know about the 20 %, but I sure can be subtly wrong from time to time 😀

My brilliant PhD student Anthi Papadopoulou (co-supervised with @IldikoPilan and @LiljaOvrelid), is defending her thesis "Automated Text Sanitization Beyond Named Entities: Resources, Methods, Evaluation" on Tuesday. Do come to IFI if you are interested!

@anderssv The main moving parts here will be the LLM itself and the retrieval method (often using some similarity metric), + some other params, such as the decoding temperature. For testing, there are some benchmarks for retrieval QA, but it depends a lot on the intended application :-)

[Pierre Lison @plison2]

Denne saken er helt sinnsykt, og fremstår som mer alvorlig enn NTNU-saken fra tidligere i år. Slike angrep på akademisk friheter er helt uakseptable, og både @HiInnlandet
og @N2Applied bør beklage til Thomas Cottis og gjeninnsette ham som prosjektleder. https://t.co/5X60PETlvw

Really cool to see one of my favourite authors come to Norway this summer😉
