@gansbags Thanks Ganesh for making the journey fun at Dept.

Proud to have a friend and a IIIT-Delhi colleague along the Shanti Swarup Bhatanagar (Vigyan Shri) Award Winners. @lab_sengupta Super happy to see the rise of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi, one of the most unique academic set up in the Indian context.

The reason LLMs and Agents are so baffling is that they compete human cognition by the simple act of predicting next likely word. 🤔

Our latest research, "On responsible machine learning datasets emphasizing fairness, privacy, and regulatory norms with examples in biometrics and healthcare," has been published in Nature Machine Intelligence (Impact Factor 18.8)! We conducted a large-scale audit of biometric and healthcare datasets, spotlighting the critical need for improved curation practices that prioritize fairness, privacy, and regulatory compliance. We've also introduced a responsible rubric for evaluating data quality, providing essential insights for the ethical advancement of AI technologies.
