I’ve shared my thoughts about taking photos of slides at conferences, and while I generally think that this isn’t very useful, I admitted that it’s something I’ve sometimes felt compelled to do. But then I usually leave those photos in the ‘I’ll get around to it someday’ folder, which basically means I’ll never look at…

We wanted to introduce…

Firstly, I’ll note that I’ve been guilty of taking photos of other people’s slides. Secondly, a lot of what I’m going to say here is based on those experiences. Your mileage may vary, depending on your own information processing system. Stop taking photos of slides (and posters) at conferences I understand the impulse; there’s information…

In this presentation I describe the concept of “universal ‘anything’ machines,” which leverage large language models (LLMs) capable of producing human-like text across various domains.

My presentation at the SAAHE conference is a more in-depth look at the same project that I presented at the conference in 2010.

I’ve been doing a lot of writing this year, trying to catch for lost time at the end of last year, with the result that I’ve been thinking about writing a lot. At times, it had become more like getting through a list of tasks than the expression of meaningful ideas, which is why I…
