Does ChatGPT get this difficult case wrong too? Yes. If asked to be careful, or given hints, does ChatGPT give any indication that there's a problem? Usually not! However, careful prompting and follow-up discussion, or asking in Chinese can work: homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/imurray2/pub/2…

Come join us in Edinburgh! This thread, from one of my fantastic colleagues, advertises our machine learning faculty position. (The photo is across the core atrium of our main research building, the Informatics Forum.)

I got nerd-swiped by this nice multiple choice question by Yaroslav Bulatov. Explanations of the distractors are in a follow-up thread: x.com/yaroslavvb/sta…

The University of Edinburgh is looking for someone to direct a new generative AI lab. It's a professor role, with lots of resources. More info: aspenpeople.co.uk/uoe-gail/ For earlier-career faculty jobs (and a communications role) see: ed.ac.uk/informatics/ab…

I'm sure Gatsby don't really need the promotion, but it would be an excellent place to be ML faculty. (I did my PhD there; it's a great environment.)

Last week, I presented my thesis at GenBench #EMNLP2023 - the last step of my Masters journey at The University of Edinburgh. I feel honoured to have worked with Verna Dankers and Ivan Titov! And I am proud to have received the Howe Prize for the best student in the AI Masters. Miss u Edinburgh

Reminder about the open machine learning faculty position at the University of Edinburgh. Closing date is one week from now (Jan 15th). elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Given observations of a function with variable+unknown noise, it's hard to know if the function is wiggly or the observations are just noisy. We need multiple observations at some inputs to disambiguate. This paper uses that intuition but goes a lot further. Looks interesting!

Big congrats and thank you to the growing group of developers contributing to the SBI (simulation-based inference) package. I think SBI is one of the most compelling examples of AI for Science.

I'm really looking forward to having Slava in Edinburgh. There's an exciting opportunity to join his group as a machine learning PhD student:

Image models struggle to create Go boards. Sadly ChatGPT can't currently copy one either, it seems conditioning the model is through too small a bottleneck. "Please copy this image exactly to create a new image. Every line and stone should appear in exactly the same places."
