the only thing stopping you from beginning a drawing practice is fear.
fear that you'll discover the artist within

[Suchir Salhan @suchirsalhan]

I'm in Vancouver for TokShop @tokshop2025 at ICML @icmlconf to present joint work with my labmates, @tweetByZeb, @pietro_lesci and @julius_gulius, and Paula Buttery. Our work, ByteSpan, is an information-driven subword tokenisation method inspired by human word segmentation.

Very much enjoyed directing and animating Jace's launch video!

[Viktor @viktor_com]

Today, we’re introducing Jace, your AI Email Agent.

Jace uses your past responses, checks your calendar, and pulls in context from attachments or the web to draft replies in your voice and schedule your meetings.

Imagine an executive assistant that knows exactly what to reply, matches your writing style, and works tirelessly for you 24/7.

Before you even open an email, the perfect draft reply is ready and waiting for you to hit send.

That’s Jace.

Language Models tend to perform poorly on rare words - this is a big problem for niche domains!

Our Syntactic Smoothing paper (#EMNLP2024) provides a solution 👀

This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)
