Semantic Decomposition of Question and SQL for Text-to-SQL Parsing (#EMNLP2023 Findings) arxiv.org/abs/2310.13575 Text-to-SQL still struggles on complex SQL queries (54-63% acc. really not great :-( ) This paper addresses this lack of compositionality.

@MarkMBissell Blue shirt genes

got my whole genome sequenced and uploaded it to our research cluster where we've got a bunch of bioinformatics tools for claude code also gave claude access to the nano banana API "tell me what I look like based on my genome" left: high school me right: claude + NB output

@meniadler אגב התפללתי בבית כנסת ביפו שדומה לתיאור בול - עם חכם סמכותי וקהל מדהים ביכולתו להרוס כל הרמוניה

ה'חכם' [Le Cacaum], או הכוהן, קרא בתורה ונשא קולו במזמורים ובתהילים, והקהל ענה אחריו בלי סדר ובלי קצב אלא בערבוביית קולות גבוהים ונמוכים ובצרימה שהלמה יותר מתקוטטים מאשר מתפללים. אני נוטה לחשוב כי מחמת השאון הזה כינו הצרפתים בשם 'שבת' את המולת החתולים והחתולות על הגגות ביחומם [!]

הלכתי מתוך סקרנות בשבת, בלוויית היהודי שאודותיו דיברתי, לראות את עבודת האלוהים שלהם בבית הכנסת של רמה [רמלה]. לא היו בו, כברוב בתי הכנסת שראיתי במקומות אחרים, לא מעשי-ארדיכל ולא מעשי-צייר, אך הוא דמה מאד לכנסיות העדות הפורשות באנגליה, להוציא מין במה המקבילה לדוכן הכנסיות הקתוליות

@meniadler @mubutu המילה sabbat בצרפתית קיבלה משמעות של ״מפגש מכשפות״ במהלך המאה ה-XII - ובהרחבה כל אירוע שגורם לרעש צורם lalanguefrancaise.com/dictionnaire/d…

You have your token vocabulary, now you have to use the same tokenization inference mechanism for pre-training and using an LLM as was used in building the vocab, right? WRONG. If you're at #acl24nlp, come listen to @uzanomri talk about our work w/@kensho arxiv.org/abs/2403.01289

@YairAdato Good to read you Yair

I am new to X. Over the last 4 years, I’ve been building an Generative AI startup that’s a little different from the rest… I’m Yair Adato, the CEO and co-founder of Bria AI, and we’re pioneering responsible generative visual AI by allowing companies access generative ai while respecting copyright and privacy. I believe that artist, data owners and tech companies can create sustainable commercial ecosystem with win-win environment and avoiding a zero sum game. Married to Shuli, father to 2 amazing twin girls and owned by a cat and a dog. I also have a PhD in computer vision. As a father of two teenage girls, I am also a big advocate for women in technology. On LinkedIn, I've been sharing insights into what the future of generative AI will look like and what it takes to run a startup. I’d love it if you gave me a follow.

@cohenrap Yes you must convert to usd yourself

מישהו פה מבין בinteractive brokers? כשמעבירים לשם כסף צריך להמיר שם לדולרים? (זה מראה לי מינוס דולרי כי קניתי משהו ופלוס בשקלים)

@yuvalpi They are building datasets on fake news

cool

📢Tue 4/16 4pm ET Reddit AMA! @ColumbiaOBGYN Helai Hesham, NextGen Jane's @reeds_t and I will answer all your questions about #endometriosis and #menstrualhealth.

@ori_goldberg @zehavoc Another perspective: Hamas has demonstrated, certainly on Oct 7, that it gives more priority to armed attacks than to the prosperity of the Gaza population. Given this priority - we can infer that any logistic effort will give priority to supporting armed militia over civilians

1/ Over the last several days, Israel has carried out assasinations ("targeted killings") of Hamas personnel in Rafah and killed a senior Hamas police commander during a raid on Shifa hospital in Gaza. We can learn something about Israeli reasoning from these killings. --->

@OrenTsur @OrenTsur and Jure Leskovec - congratulations 🎉

@yanaiela Congratulations !

As of today I'm officially a doctor ☺️ It's a good time to announce I was the runner-up for the Israeli AI best thesis award. But please don't read my thesis (which is just a concatenation of my papers), read the papers!
