@adinamwilliams Are there similar positions for MSc students or any chance graduates of an MSc program will be considered?

Our responsible AI team is hiring 3 research scientist interns this cycle (2 in Montreal, one in NYC). We're seeking enrolled PhD students who are excited to spend their summer figuring out how to ensure vision and/or language models work for everyone! metacareers.com/jobs/532549086…

Now out in @Behavsci_MDPI: "Young Children’s Directed Question Asking in Preschool Classrooms" 🤔❔🙋 doi.org/10.3390/bs1409… Even in less structured settings like free play, children are strategic in their question-asking behavior... (1/3)

I'm happy to announce AI research internship opportunities at @Dataminr! Topics range from LLMs, #NLProc , CV, HCI, to #aiforgood , and more. Prior internships have resulted in papers at conferences such as @RealAAAI, @aclmeeting and @CVPRConf. dataminr.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/Dataminr/job/U…

@wkvong So cool! Congrats!

1/ Today in Science, we train a neural net from scratch through the eyes and ears of one child. The model learns to map words to visual referents, showing how grounded language learning from just one child's perspective is possible with today's AI tools. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@yoavgo Compare to info from ACL registration, how many past participants from URG (gender, color, region...) voted and how did they vote

committee will publish more breakdowns of the results soon-ish. which breakdowns would you like to see?

Sad to miss #cogsci2023! Check out our virtual poster "Modeling substitution errors in Spanish morphology learning" led by new Prof Libby Barak, with Nathalie Fernandez, and the amazing Naomi Feldman! Full paper: escholarship.org/uc/item/740374…
