Research Scientist @DbrxMosaicAI. PhD @upennnlp. NLP, Linguistics, Explainable AI.
I'm at ICML 🇨🇦 and I'm hiring at @databricks. Visit our booth if you're interested. My scientific focus: It's 1972 in AI, there's an AI crisis, Dijkstra isn't here to save us, and maybe RL can. Why Databricks? The long road to AGI is being paved here and we have the real evals 🧵
Introducing Muscle v0 -- infinite degrees of freedom, from @DaxoRobotics. A different mountain to climb - with a far more beautiful peak. We built this from the ground up: - Ultra-dexterous - Built for machine learning - Durable and robust More below (1/n)
Excited to share what we've been working on for the past few months at @DbrxMosaicAI!
Excited to launch Agent Bricks, a new way to build auto-optimized agents on your tasks. Agent Bricks uniquely takes a *declarative* approach to agent development: you tell us what you want, and we auto-generate evals and optimize the agent. databricks.com/blog/introduci…
Having co-authored >50% of my papers, Harry is definitely my favorite collaborator during my PhD. Come work with him! (I'd love to if I were applying this year lol)
I'm excited to join @DrexelUniv @DrexelCCI as an assistant professor in Dec 2024! I'm actively looking for a couple of PhD students, so don't hesitate to introduce yourself or anyone you know. See my work and interests at zharry.com.
So glad to have done this together with you all! Thanks to everyone who pulled it off together with me despite the technical issues😆 (Lesson learned: Don't use Google Slides presenter mode🙅)
Thanks to everyone who participated in our tutorial & asked great questions! If you missed it, the recording is now available: tinyurl.com/explanation-tu… Slides: explanation-llm.github.io
See you in Mexico City in 3 days!
Our NAACL 24 tutorial "Explanation in the Era of Large Language Models" will be presented on June 16 morning at Don Alberto 3! The tutorial website is at explanation-llm.github.io w/ @hanjie_chen @xiye_nlp @ChenhaoTan @anmarasovic @sarahwiegreffe @VeronicaLyu
I was lucky to be TA'd by John in my first NLP class. He's awesome -- go work with him!
I’m joining the Columbia Computer Science faculty as an assistant professor in fall 2025, and hiring my first students this upcoming cycle!! There’s so much to understand and improve in neural systems that learn from language — come tackle this with me!
Excellent job!
Cancelling my plans to quit Twitter because Having A Platform To Share Things is useful actually! Check out this talk I gave recently about our work on concept bottleneck models for text: youtu.be/d5tbkist59E
We are pleased to announce that the first Conference on Language Modeling will be held at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia at the Zellerbach Theatre. Thanks so much to UPenn CS as well as Mark Yatskar and Zachary Ives for facilitating the amazing venue.
