Interesting thread about good old sota NLP technologies in 2009 that was also hallucinating stuff thought that Jews were causing aids. Look at the comment section in the blog post! Nice sharing this Jason Baldridge !

For a new blog article, I investigated 20 years of publications about BLEU and identified 12 critical flaws that are often discussed in the scientific literature. medium.com/@bnjmn_marie/1…

Before all the festivities tonight, I was getting annoyed with Duolingo so tried out if #ChatGPT could be a more natural conversational french practice partner. Ce n'est pas mal!

Twitter has announced that it is cutting off free access to its API. This is a dramatic restriction that will disrupt critical public interest research projects on everything from disasters and child safety to health and disinformation. independenttechresearch.org/letter-twitter…

One of our key sources of human data is no longer fully “human"! We estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers on MTurk used large language models (LLMs) in a text production task - which may increase as ChatGPT and the like become more popular and powerful. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07899

A new online platform has been launched today by Cilter and its various partners which requests anonymous submissions from parents/guardians of examples of harmful online language experience by children.   Further details: kidsonlinesafetyresearch.ie #kidsonlinesafetyresearch

Generative AI news! We detect #AI generated text, including #chatgpt, by leveraging emotion. arxiv.org/abs/2310.15904 Research funded by @scienceirel CRT ML-Labs at DCU Computing Dublin City University #ScienceWeek With Jennifer Foster and Yvette Graham.

LLMs are now trained >1000x as much language data as a child, so what happens when you train a "BabyLM" on just 100M words? The proceedings of the BabyLM Challenge are now out along with our summary of key findings from 31 submissions: aclanthology.org/volumes/2023.c… Some highlights 🧵

Newly disabled 20-somethings never properly informed by their governments about #LongCovid are confused and angry. "All I was warned about is that I could die if I had comorbidities & [was] old. Had I known it could destroy my life I would have taken more precautions." #COVID19

NeurIPS Conference must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MIT Media Lab to retract and
