The ASSETS 2025 Doctoral Consortium has extended its submission deadline until June 29, Sunday AOE.

I'm putting my tenure materials together. If you've used any of my work for teaching or in other impactful ways (beyond referencing me in a paper!), please let me know. It's probably helpful if I can point to something that is public (e.g., an online syllabus).

Still recruiting. Any ideas on where I should post to reach this type of audience. Had to clear out a lot of scam entries...

My IP address has been blocked by the ACM so I can’t access the digital library… I wasn’t even doing anything different to usual. Has this happened to anybody else?

I always tell this to my research assistants: if you use AI to summarize and write for you, you don't need to be my assistant. You don't need to do research at all. Research should be selfish: *you* (not a machine) learn how to read, write, innovate, and dream. Otherwise, what is the point?

Rua M. Williams@fractalecho.bsky.social · 2y ago

Also, writing your own summaries is an essential part of internalizing the contents of a paper and generating your own insights about how that paper is important to your own work.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.
