BREAKING: OpenAI reveals that ptrblck user who answers every single question on pytorch user forum has in fact been powered by superhuman ChatGPT since 2021

Having interesting times and discussions with colleagues at ICLR 2026

I’m excited to see how this partnership empowers Africa’s leading researchers and engineers to create new solutions for the most pressing challenges facing Africa and the world.

1/2 Happy to share our accepted WiNLP, co-located EMNLP 2026 2023. We present the first explorative approach to multitask learning, for model capabilities enhancement in Natural Language Processing for the Fon language.

The Geospatial ML prac, led by @akram__zaytar , w/t Gilles Q. Hacheme Aisha Alaagib Girmaw Abebe Tadesse - "Join us at Geospatial ML practical. Learn about geospatial data primitives and explore different approaches for crop type classification. 🌍🤖"

Happy to be attending the Deep Learning Indaba conference in Accra (Ghana) next week.  I will do a poster presentation of our short paper entitled ‘Weak labeling for cropland mapping in Africa’. My team and I will also give an introductory tutorial on Geospatial Machine Learning.

Seeing the destruction in Morrocco is heartbreaking. It is crucial that the rescue teams and aid agencies have the data and resources they need to act as fast as possible. linkedin.com/posts/jlavista…

It was a real privilege to attend Deep Learning Indaba 2023 in Ghana. I met extraordinary people there, from students to researchers passionate about using AI to tackle challenges on the African continent. linkedin.com/posts/gilles-q…

3 years ago when I first published FFR w/ Chris Chinenye Emezue, Fon wasn’t known. Wikipedia in Fon will soon be a thing with several pages translated 🤙🏿Another proud moment of the impact of our research and efforts to promote our language 🇧🇯 cc: Jars IamYourClounon Gilles Q. Hacheme

Thrilled to be featured in this list of incredibly talented people!
