In my first year of my PhD, I measured progress by papers. The count was zero. I felt like an imposter with no sense of progress. That was an illusion - I was measuring the wrong thing. I see this happening frequently, so I wrote a post with what a learned. URL below.

It was written my Google RS’s with PhDs and peer reviewed for NeurIPS, what on earth are you talking about Nate??? I’m also not sure what someone not in the field would get from reading that paper. It’s written for a specific technical audience.
Nate Silver@NateSilver538

The most important research paper of the past 10 years is the Google transformer paper ("Attention Is All You Need") and it was written by non-academics and published in an open-access journal.

Remember this study about how LLM generated research ideas were rated to be more novel than expert-written ones? We find a large fraction of such LLM generated proposals (≥ 24%) to be skillfully plagiarized, bypassing inbuilt plagiarism checks and unsuspecting experts. A 🧵

Automating AI research is exciting! But can LLMs actually produce novel, expert-level research ideas? After a year-long study, we obtained the first statistically significant conclusion: LLM-generated ideas are more novel than ideas written by expert human researchers.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Dear researchers and grad school applicants, I compiled a (incomplete) list of professors working in multi-agent learning. If you want to do research in multi-agent learning, I hope you find this helpful! :) rupalibhati.github.io/MAL-profs/

got the mother of all nasty reviewer 2 feedback this week 🫠🫠🫠 happy to take the critique but also feel like there have gotta be more checks so the peer review process isn't an opportunity to just lash out at junior researchers because you're having a tough day
