Looking forward to hanging out with James Barry and the crew at the The ADAPT Centre at DCU, Dublin to chat about how to iterate on your research faster with Weights & Biases If you're in town, feel free to join us 👇 x.com/jamesarbarry/s…

Great to have Morgan McGuire drop by today to host an event with Weights & Biases! Super fun and informative event. Thanks to everyone who came along!

Want to help out with BigScience Research Workshop? Jessica Zosa Forde mentions a few ways to get involved! Also lots of cool work on prompting and parameter efficient tuning with the T0 and new T-Few models as presented by Victor Sanh @colinraffel

I was messing around with some #dallemini prompts and got this pretty cool aesthetic 😁

Just arrived in the post today 😀. Learning #Lisp

I'm going through Michael Collins' 2013 Columbia NLP course that was on Coursera. Here is an implementation of a trigram UD POS tagger using the Viterbi Algorithm as described in the Chapter 2 notes: github.com/jbrry/HMM-Tagg…

If anyone is interested in learning about the Common Lisp Object System (classes and object-oriented programing in #Lisp), I wrote a blog post about it here, using the example of scoring a game of bowling: jbrry.github.io/2022/09/22/bow…

Circulating to anyone interested in working with Celtic Languages!

With #Nvidia stock rallying, competitors are no doubt trying to capture back some of that market share. Realistically how big are Nvidia's hardware/software moats - how likely is wider spread adoption of: - AMD/ROCm - Intel/Habana - Apple/MLX - Tesla/Dojo?

IBM Research Europe (UK) are looking for interns in generative AI in sustainability: reasoning over multimodal data, foundations models in the climate/materials domain, and exploring agentic systems. Please consider applying here: careers.ibm.com/job/21206334/r…

If any Irish speakers are interested in helping annotate some of the BLEnD examples to Irish, please let me know (can be as little as a few examples). We aim to have Irish included in the next release. huggingface.co/datasets/nayeo…
