Hiring a 2-year #postdoc position funded by @cities_nyuad. Join @EtienneWasmer and me to work on an exciting project related to Knowledge Graphs, Machine Learning, Crowdsourcing, and Spatial Data Analysis. apply.interfolio.com/111551 RT, please

Here it is: 6 years of work, 6 authors, almost 6k years of human history, 2.10^6 famous individuals in a ready-to-use geolocalized database. The article is available online here doi.org/10.1038/s41597… PDF here nature.com/articles/s4159…. @JbEymeoud @gergaud_econ @palaashbhargava

@sleepinyourhat Congrats!

I just got tenure! Wheee! Predictable-but-heartfelt gratitude thread:

@jeffbigham I use this term when the “human” in the loop isn’t the end user.

i have a visceral reaction to "human in the loop", which i'm trying to get over. i think the reason is that it means something very specific to me, but I see it used mostly by ML people to mean ~"HCI"… but, in the general case humans are always in the loop… somewhere…

We’re excited to announce that the Fall 2022 MS & PhD applications are now open! We're ready for the next cohort of future Data Scientists! To apply/find more information, please visit our MS & PhD Applications landing page: cds.nyu.edu/phd-ms-apps/

We're excited to announce ***HCI+NLP***: the first workshop on Bridging Human-Computer Interaction and Natural Language Processing, virtual at EACL this April! Website: sites.google.com/view/hciandnlp/

ICML 2020: 2,030 machine learning presentations from mid-July slideslive.com/icml-2020#!fee… better than Netflix :)

The real difference between industry and academia is that in one you make six figures, and the other you make tikz figures.

Seriously impressive work on image compression using GANs. Replacing high-frequency components with slight but believable variations, eg see the 3rd example on the prj page hific.github.io (h/t to @sedielem).

Stratos and @MarkCallaghanDB will be presenting a tutorial on state-of-the-art solutions and open problems for the design of key-value storage engines at @SIGMOD2020 PDF available here: bit.ly/2ZkfxRN

The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed on Wednesday, May 20, at 9:30 AM PDT/16:30 UTC. This month we will learn about machine learning systems that rely on human supervision for their learning and optimization. Tune in via the YouTube stream: youtube.com/watch?v=8nDiu2…

@BarackObama Qwer

During this crisis, our grocery store clerks, delivery drivers, transit and utility workers—along with so many others—have been selflessly getting up every day to make sure we have the things we need. And for that, we say thank you. wsj.com/articles/unexp…

@sscdotopen @UvA_Amsterdam @AholdDelhaize @AIforRetail This is great news! Congrats :)

1/7 Do word embeddings really say that man is to doctor as woman is to nurse? Apparently not. Check out this thread for a description of a short paper I co-wrote with Malvina Nissim and Rob van der Goot, available here: arxiv.org/abs/1905.09866 #NLProc #bias

Funny how this rebranding relates to a chat project called Kwak w/ @_vhf

To remain the world leader in artificial intelligence, China relies on young “data labelers” who work eight hours a day processing massive amounts of data. bit.ly/2EE5EUl

So I was slightly involved with this story: twitter.com/Werner/status/… TLDR: I've read the internal Amazon document in the CNBC story. @Werner is correct. When I told the reporter that it wasn't a big deal he called me on the phone and flipped out.

Papers with Code: A searchable site that links machine learning papers on ArXiv with code on GitHub. They also tag any framework libraries used, along with other info like GitHub stars. I think such a feature would be a nice addition to ArXiv-Sanity. paperswithcode.com
