I made a tiny tool for quickly sharing small datasets (< ~1000 rows) without uploading any data to a server.

It compresses the data into the link itself, so there’s no account, hosting, or storage layer involved.

Here's Florence Nightingale's famous 📊 data:

this is sweet! seems like once you have a doc decomposed like this, one could rearrange the parts in other useful ways

@bingbingw.bsky.social is presenting two of our papers on Wednesday in the 9a LM session and 11a poster session

I’m also giving a talk at the #SDProc workshop on Thursday on translational science communication

Come say hi!

Congratulations!!

Even better when it’s logistic regression 🙃

Now out in Nature: we analyzed 19,000 computer vision papers and the 20,000+ patents citing them and found that most CV papers are used in surveillance enabling CV patents. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ohhhh Molly Crockett‘s @mjcrockett.bsky.social keynote talk at #FAccT2025 was soo good 🔥🔥🔥

She talked about how techno-optimism is really human pessimism, how DEAD benchmarks don’t capture full human capacities and feed the hype cycle, how we need to avoid monoculture & imagine new worlds together

NLP 4 Democracy - COLM 2025

📣 Super excited to organize the first workshop on ✨NLP for Democracy✨ at COLM @colmweb.org!!

Check out our website: sites.google.com/andrew.cmu.e...

Call for submissions (extended abstracts) due June 19, 11:59pm AoE

#COLM2025 #LLMs #NLP #NLProc #ComputationalSocialScience

A bit of a mess around the conflict of COLM with the ARR (and to lesser degree ICML) reviews release. We feel this is creating a lot of pressure and uncertainty. So, we are pushing our deadlines:

Abstracts due March 22 AoE (+48hr)
Full papers due March 28 AoE (+24hr)

Plz RT 🙏

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03784-6

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

When DEOHS faculty Dr. Gary Franklin asked a chatbot for info on outcomes of a specific medical procedure, the bot gave an answer that cited two medical studies, neither of which existed.

this is great! thank you both!

All the ACL chapters are here now: @aaclmeeting.bsky.social @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social @eaclmeeting.bsky.social @naaclmeeting.bsky.social #NLProc

Taking a stand that we aren’t doing the #nlproc tag here. It’s #nlp. We used #nlproc because a decade ago the #nlp tag was full of sleazy scammers selling guides for hypnotizing women into sleeping with you.

But guess what? We won. All the sleazy scammers are doing natural language processing now.

Love the influx of academics to Bluesky. Will this be our new 🏠? To help grow the community, I just created an HCI+Accessibility "starter pack". Help me grow the list! Many are missing! go.bsky.app/PZxHNqP

I appreciated the callout that half the community is based in China and travel to places like the US can be quite difficult. Now, the other half gets to experience the annoyance of visas :’)
