I've had enough.
Colleagues posting their successes here, discussing cool findings, blogging events: thank you so much!
I'll miss your thoughts and reading suggestions dearly.
But, it's been too long that I supported this platform. There was no real alternative, but...

This has changed!
Maybe I can convince more of you to start social presence on Mastodon, e.g. on my own idf.social instance (IR), at sigmoid.social (ML/AI) or akademienl.social (Dutch researchers), or any other instance. If so, drop me a note!
2/3
If not: see you in real life, somewhere, some time.
Staying to participate here would legitimise the platform, keep it sustained - I no longer want to do that.
I'll end my presence here with a small experiment.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!!

We finally finished writing the description of ClueWeb22, the corpus with 10 billion web pages + rich visual information: arxiv.org/abs/2211.15848. I hope you all find the description in the paper informative.
@bcs_irsg Did you know how bad the advertisements are that feature on your website? Here's a screenshot. I'd recommend going without ads!
BTW, that was triggered by looking at the winners of the Search Awards, congrats to all of you!

RT for the thread
Overall, itโs clear that Transformers can be trained to encode far-from-trivial learning algorithms, but *how* they encode such algorithms is still a wide open question.
See our paper for additional experiments and many more open questions [arxiv.org/abs/2208.01066]!
PS: see next RT for thread
LLMs can do in-context learning, but are they "learning" new tasks or just retrieving ones seen during training? w/ @shivamg_13, @percyliang, & Greg Valiant we study a simpler Q:
Can we train Transformers to learn simple function classes in-context? ๐งต

Science Twitter is valuable, but Twitter is going through an uncertain phase at the moment. Let's archive the Science Twitter follow graph using scientists' ORCIDs just in case. We built a tool for this -- it takes just one minute to contribute! opencheck.is/scitwitter

I will work on real-world challenges to the safety of artificial intelligence and, in particular, safe reinforcement learning. The overall goal of my project is to advance the real-world deployment of reinforcement learning.

I'm excited to announce that I received a Starting Grant from @ERC_Research for my project "DEUCE: Data-Driven Verification and Learning Under Uncertainty."
I will soon be opening multiple PhD and Postdoc positions.
