"Dear reviewer assigned to my batch, I know you don't give a sh*t about my polite e-mails which I'v been sending you personally because I do care about ARR - well, I have some bad news for you...."
This major release of my lab's annotation tool, Potato 2.0, was a long time in the making but I'm really excited by all the new features (and quality of life improvements). If you're doing data annotation of any kind, check it out. Need any other features? We'd love to hear from you too!
We are looking for 3 PhD students!
The @boeckler-stiftung.bsky.social is funding a research group on “Human-in-Control: Implementing employee co-determination in the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence” and we are looking for 3 students.

Sadly, PRISM makes perfect sense in a world with 28,000 NeurIPS submissions, the idea that the writing of a paper to get bullets on a cv is all that matters, and the further idea that a blog post on a corporate site is equivalent to a paper.
In yesterday's exercise, I incidentaly got this spitted out by Qwen2.5-1.7B... what the heck is that? An internal system prompt? In any case, the "when in doubt" instruction tells a lot... :)
Area-chairing January ACL Rolling Review, checkint out reviewer list of my papers, and ... oh, not sure if the very high number of full professors among reviewers should scare me or make me happy... :)
...ehm... cool... what is this dude with the laptop doing?... and... where's the paper? 🥲

🎉 What a day! The RC Trust Grand Opening brought together researchers, industry & policy to champion trustworthy, responsible AI. 🤖🔒
🙏 Thank you to the State of North Rhine-Westphalia for funding & trust, and to all partners, colleagues & friends who helped us reach this milestone. 🤝🏛️
This was one of the coolest gigs ever! Usually we play a couple of fill-ins and then get bored during the speeches... But this time James Green, a NASA chief scientist, talking an hour about his team landing on Mars and searching for life there? What can be more fascinating than that!? 🤩
Great questions - but what were the answers? (yeah, I get it, I should have just participated ... :)
An academic fact whose importance cannot—absolutely cannot—be overstated:
