Hot day and our local echidna has had to take a dip to cool down on Kangaroo Island!
In case you missed it, last October our paper "ELLIPS: An Ethics-Centered Approach to Research on LLM-Based Inference of Psychiatric Conditions" was accepted at AIES 2024. Let's dive into its details.
![A bar graph titled "Daily #rstats Bluesky Posts (without CRAN update bot)" showing post frequency from September 1, 2024 to December 1, 2024. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 150 posts per day. The graph shows relatively low activity (around 10-20 posts daily) from September through October, followed by a significant increase starting in November, with peaks reaching nearly 150 posts per day. The most recent data in December shows consistent activity between 80-120 posts daily.
