Fascinating keynote on fallacies in benchmarking by Adina Williams (ai.meta.com/people/adina...). Short version: in our excitement about LLMs we shouldn’t forget scientific principles of evaluation (I’m definitely going to check out the stack of EMNLP papers Dr Williams is an author of!)
Computer Science at Sydney is hiring! (deadline Nov 30) We get excellent students, have fantastic quality of life, and you get to be my colleague (hopefully that's a positive weight feature...). If you aren't on the job market, please think about if you know someone who is and share the ad :)
