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. https://t.co/my3WDYgaCR

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:

Had a great time presenting our Demo Paper, KnowledgeHub: An End-to-End Tool for Assisted Scientific Discovery at IJCAI 2024 in Jeju Island, Korea today!

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?

Circulating to anyone interested in working with Celtic Languages!

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: https://t.co/9wGWDzV7jg

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:

Just arrived in the post today 😀. Learning #Lisp

Come visit our poster on gaBERT - an Irish Language Model #LREC2022 @lrec2022 @jamesarbarry @aneihe @laurenNiChasaid

I'll still be around to defend my viva and will be at LREC next week so looking forward to catching up with people soon!

Cleaned my desk for the first and last time today as I've just submitted my thesis. Got a bit nostalgic packing things like my HDMI cable that I used to share my screen for in-person meetings before Zoom was a thing :D Gonna miss DCU a lot.

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

Want to help out with @BigscienceW? @in4dmatics 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 @SanhEstPasMoi @colinraffel

Great to have @morgymcg drop by today to host an event with @weights_biases! Super fun and informative event. Thanks to everyone who came along!

Looking forward to hanging out with @jamesarbarry and the crew at the @AdaptCentre 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 👇 https://t.co/voMQ2I5EUE

@morgymcg @AdaptCentre, @DREAL_ie, @insight_centre, @ml_labs_irl, this may be of interest to students/researchers!
