It's the new classical thing that I repeat in almost every IR class. Example: "Consider an inverted index ... what may it be good for in modern LLM?" - I'm literally asking students to ask Bing Chat to find out :-)

Hi all the 1st issue of the new TGDK journal is out. The list of papers is exciting. Starting, non-surprisingly, with LLMs and KGs. There is also a survey on graph embeddings, graph evolution (=temporal graphs), and summarization. dblp.org/db/journals/tg… Check it out!

Does GPT-4 run queries against KGs & integrate the response in the answer? Appears so, based on a seq. of prompts ``do you have access to DBpedia'', ``how do you access DBpedia'', ``please give me an example where you access DBpedia in response'' ran Jan. 22. See screenshots.

Wishes ... but still not complete: how about asking future postdocs to have good writing skills? Reminds me on the tweet asking if we seriously now request PhD students to have already written papers. Hard bar, but not impossible/unrealistic.

Scientific publishing etiquette: 1. Scientists should be allowed to publish their research. 2. Publications should include the names of all contributors in the author list. 3. Junior contributors who actually did the work should be placed at the beginning of the author list. 4.

In the realm of combining LLMs with logical approaches from the semantic web, you may also want to check our latest article on the Past, Present, and Future of the Semantic Web, see drops.dagstuhl.de/storage/08tgdk…

One cannot stress enough: ignoring basic (scientific) facts and arguing for making cheap political profit is the new norm, the culprit of eroding trust

Are we expecting PhD students to have written papers before they start their thesis? No. Is it an advantage for a future PhD student ... ? YES! So let's teach them write papers in the BSc & MSc. "Does not work" and to give up is not accepted as an answer. github.com/data-science-a…

'Do not do bugfixes on a Friday', the freshmens' knowledge got forgotten? Every student knows that, unless you want to screw up the weekend for all IT teams, worldwide. #fail

I sooo much agree with this. Academic jobs require juggling too many balls with barely any support (grant writing, teaching, managing a research group, supervising students and … research). Take two hrs everyday before you look at email and social media. search.app/nnTKNba5Dqv8Eu…
