🥲 Proud of what we have built in only 5 years... More in the blogpost linked below!

'Humans had no natural predators, and then we created AI... it's like if salmon invented grizzly bears'

As we increasingly rely on #LLMs for product recommendations and searches, can companies game these models to enhance the visibility of their products?

Our latest work provides answers to this question & demonstrates that LLMs can be manipulated to boost product visibility!…

You want a new, fun data set for teaching? Here you go. Someone recorded the average/max/change from baseline pulses of folks watching horror movies. They used this data to rate AND rank order the film. My RA added Rotten Tomato ratings and year of release. Analyze away!

I don't know if we can or will build massively capable autonomous AI with long-term planning abilities. But I do know this: whether such AI gets built and deployed should be decided by us through governments, not markets. We make the case science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New postdoc opening in my group! If you're interested in using cutting edge methods to understand how our social networks contribute to life outcomes through analyzing with one of the most amazing datasets in the world, this is the job for you!

I asked the Devin AI agent to go on reddit and start a thread where it will take website building requests

It did that, solving numerous problems along the way. It apparently decided to charge for its work. Going to take it down before it fools anyone... reddit.com/r/forhire/comm…

Lots of people in CS are (almost surely) GPT-ing their peer reviews

It's been a privilege working with you! And what a journey indeed😅

I hope your future adventures will be as filled with brilliant insights and groundbreaking work as ours have been!

I successfully defended my PhD thesis 'Life-Trajectories as Symbolic Language,' a detailed overview of the #life2vec work. It marks the end (or a pause) in my work with transformers and large-scale registry data at Sune Lehmann lab (@DTU_Compute). What a crazy journey it's been! 😇

Our recent #AISTATS 24 accepted paper: 'Time to Cite: Modeling Citation Networks w/ Dynamic Impact Single-Event Embedding Model' is now on arXiv: arxiv.org/pdf/2403.00032…

Here, we define single-event dynamic networks, proposing the single-event Poisson Process for their analysis.

One of my most favorite projects in the past decade. I remember how we conceived this. Awesome team. Hugs to Robert Böhm Cornelia Betsch 🖖 Sune Lehmann and everyone involved.

A simple implementation of the #life2vec model is now available at github.com/carlomarxdk/li…. You can try out the workflow with dummy data, + we are planning to add more examples (including finetuning) in the near future.

There has been a lot of talk about the life2vec paper, where researchers from DTU, SODAS and elsewhere turn life event data from the Danish registry into future predictions. In this blog post, the authors explain the power and the limits of life2vec: sodas.ku.dk/research/proce…

Standing ovation for our visiting student Lasse Mohr's Dance Your Ph.D. entry on Social Forces. Best of luck in the competition!

Baldwin aimed a .45 Colt and said “Bang.” Then his life went from Maya, the illusion, to Brahman, the reality. Here’s one of my most personal essays about how this transition awaits us all.

1/ Today in Science, we train a neural net from scratch through the eyes and ears of one child. The model learns to map words to visual referents, showing how grounded language learning from just one child's perspective is possible with today's AI tools. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
