In other news, I’ll be joining @UChicagoCS and @DSI_UChicago in 2024 as an assistant professor and doing a postdoc @Meta in the meantime!
I’m at ACL in person and recruiting students who want to find fresh approaches to working with generative models so if that’s you let’s chat!

Getting labeled data for clinical NLP can be prohibitively difficult. In work at #emnlp2022, we find that GPT-3 models perform very well at clinical tasks in the few-shot setting, indicating a new paradigm for transforming EHR notes into actionable data news.mit.edu/2022/large-lang…

This forum will stimulate ideas and investigation into the implications and future directions of ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI). Free and open to all who develop AI methods, are current or future users of AI, or are simply curious about how AI will shape research and our society. Tuesday May 16th, Johnson Rooms at the Lurie Engineering Center, U-M North campus.

Under international humanitarian law, the effects of hostilities on civilians and civilian infrastructure must be factored into all military operations.
All possible measures must be taken to protect and spare civilian life and essential infrastructure. icrc.org/en/document/ukraine…

As I've said in the past:
Many of the best ideas in AI/ML come from academia.
Flashy demos and large-scale applications of these ideas often come from industry research labs.
The tech press tends to focus on the flashy demos and often forgets to highlight their origin.
For all the talk about how industry and "big" academic institutions dominate AI (which I benefit from, to be clear), @pess_r @robrombach Björn Ommer at @UniHeidelberg then @LMU_Muenchen have had as large an impact over the past year as anyone: VQGAN, then Stable Diffusion work.
