@LeonDerczynski @_TobiasLee I'm building a follow-up skill for reviewers. Then we can completely automate the process 😀

@aroraakhilcs Having EMNLP and NeurIPS over-lapping quite a bit in the review schedule is also not helping.

[Traian Rebedea @trebedea]

@prof_kamilov @jxmnop @nvidia is also a great place for research and open AI/ML.

@elonmusk & Putin are the actual people undermining democracy in Romania. At least Putin knows where Romania is on the map, Musk is just promoting far right movements without actual caring about the history and facts in our country.

@yoavgo For anyone familiar with wooden language (https://t.co/8yJ0ALVAfG), especially if you lived in the Central& Eastern European states that were under communism for half of century, first interactions with GPTs resembled a bit that "wooden" language. Now they are a bit better.

Point 2 there is so not obvious even to very techy people.

2. Accelerated computing is mostly not hardware. I’m surprised people still see NVIDIA’s business as hardware, after all these years.

[Bryan Catanzaro @ctnzr]

1. NVIDIA believes the competition is strong and getting stronger - as it should, since AI is the largest computational problem in history.

Great to be part of HuggingFace Daily Papers.
In this work, we show that topic-following is an essential part of LLM alignment and can improve both TODS systems, but also safety alignment. Our CantTalkAboutThis dataset will be on HF soon, together with topic-aligned models.

Aligning Language Models to Stay on Topic in Dialogues

Recent advancements in instruction-tuning datasets have predominantly focused on specific tasks like mathematical or logical reasoning. There has been a notable gap in data designed for aligning

@nlopitz @LrecColing Congratulations!

How did you contact the PC Chairs? Not sure they have time to respond to all emails from authors.

I hope that the reviewer is not invited anymore to CL venues.

[Traian Rebedea @trebedea]

@dmort27 I think quality of the meta-reviews was pretty bad in some cases. As a reviewer, I've also seen a 2/2/3 accepted (not maybe accept) by the AC.
This makes the entire review process feel kind of weird.

[Traian Rebedea @trebedea]

@upura0 @LrecColing also rejected with 4/4/3 :)

[Traian Rebedea @trebedea]

@prajdabre1 Agreed! Especially when you have a rejected 4/4/3 paper with no real weaknesses from the reviewers.

And when as a reviewer you see metareviewers recommending "accept" for papers with 2/2/3 :(

[Traian Rebedea @trebedea]

@fchollet Are we a mixture of agents? Each of them specialized on handling a mix of specific situations and emotions?

[Jakob Foerster @j_foerst]

LLMs are finally catching up to deep RL - we have been training on test from long before it was cool.

If you're seeking an advisor in NLP, consider exploring options with recently appointed faculty. While established senior folks are well-known, junior folks shine as rising stars. In fact, many successful PhDs are the first few students of their advisor. Don't miss the chance!
