From July 19–25, ~140 international Master’s and PhD students join the @ellisunitlisbon.bsky.social 🇵🇹 Machine Learning Summer School for a week of NLP-focused lectures, posters, and hands-on sessions, led by top international speakers.
Held at @istecnico.bsky.social

Fully open machine learning requires not only GPU access but a community commitment to openness. (Some nostalgic lessons from the ImageNet decade.)
Excited to be part of the Cramér Society’s virtual mini-conference next Monday (13:00–16:00), alongside @marfig.bsky.social, @mathurinmassias.bsky.social, @mansmag.bsky.social, and Ulrike Schneider! Hope you’ll join us!

The bigotry and white supremacy is right out there in the open, impossible to ignore for anyone paying attention. A lot of people are revealing a lot about themselves by supporting this.
When?
Yes!
Prompt "engineering" is sort of what we do when we talk to other people.
My beautiful cat thinking about some big idea that she learned from @seanmcarroll.bsky.social's excellent book.
"...the cognitive equivalent of high-fructose corn syrup."
Excellent piece by Neil Lawrence.
Excellent!
"... the cognitive equivalent of high-fructose corn syrup" is an excellent analogy.
There are no artificial neural networks! It's just a conceptual/formal tool to think about a certain type of programs that actually run on CPUs and GPUs.
It just happens that the tool was originally inspired by an extremely simplistic model of biological neurons.
Having nonsense views about the dollar and the trade balance: easy.
Having nonsense views that are mutually contradictory: that takes talent
