@ashvanth_s1 Everything is on GitHub, e.g. github.com/embeddings-ben… ; github.com/embeddings-ben… :)

MTEB is the most common text embedding benchmark with 190K installs/mon & 120K leaderboard visits/mon. We're extending it to be massively multilingual. Anyone is invited to contribute & co-author an upcoming publication📜 Details: github.com/embeddings-ben…

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵 I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data. I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works. Here's what I found 👇

8/10 Join the Revolution The dataset is freely available for researchers to: - Benchmark AI models. - Improve generalizability across low-resource healthcare settings. 🔗 Dataset Link: huggingface.co/datasets/intro…

3/10 Why is it needed? Global South healthcare systems face acute physician shortages and resource gaps. Current LLMs like GPT-4 excel in U.S.-based benchmarks but struggle with linguistic and cultural contexts unique to Africa. AfriMed-QA aims to build inclusive AI benchmarks for African healthcare needs.

2/10 Key Highlights of AfriMed-QA - Dataset Scale: 15,275 medical questions across 32 specialties. - Types: Multiple Choice (MCQs), Short Answer (SAQs), and Consumer Queries (CQs). - Pan-African Scope: Data sourced from 60+ medical schools across 16 countries. - First-of-its-kind benchmark focusing on the African healthcare context.

🚨 Pan-African Medical AI Research Alert! 🚨 How can we bridge the gap in healthcare through AI for underserved regions like Africa? Introducing AfriMed-QA: The first large-scale Pan-African, multi-specialty medical Question-Answering dataset. Developed by an incredible team across @IntronHealth, @GeorgiaTech, BioRAMP, and @GoogleAI led by @tobiolatunji_ and collaborators from 16 African nations. Now you can watch and listen to the latest Medical AI papers daily on our YouTube and Spotify channels!

Day 8. It was about time to add the temporal dimension. Big thanks to Hazel Doughty (@doughty_hazel) for her exciting lecture on video understanding, covering methods from optical flow to transformers for video. #ACVSS

It's the first full day of our campaign, so I'm heading up to Wilmington, DE later to say "hello" to our staff in HQ. One day down. 105 to go. Together, we're going to win this.
