You can hire me! 🤓 I'm finishing my PhD soon.

Fantastic #sydNYE 9pm fireworks display by re-right collective and Nadeena Dixon Art with soundscapes by salllvage, blowing the midnight ones out of the water in terms of choreography, creativity, non-pyro effects and, last not least, music one wants to listen to. Loved it 😍

Yepp, replication studies def a necessity here.

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

The next installment of our (Jörg Cassens @AKofodPetersen) workshop series on Modelling and Representing Context (MRC) is at ECAI 2023, the 26th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence -interdisciplinary workshop focused on context modelling: mrc.kriwi.de/2023/

The article mentions 'unskilled' but in a lot of cases this is not true - many clients in the sector stipulate masters level in linguistics with multiple languages for annotation work and they still want to pay minimum wage

Paper submission to MRC 2023, the 14th Workshop Modelling and Representing Context at #ECAI2023, is open. Deadline for regular/short papers July 14. See mrc.kriwi.de/2023/ for details, instructions and author kit. Co-chairing with Rebekah Wegener & @AKofodPetersen
