212 ermordete Umweltaktivist*innen: Einer der viele Gründe, gegen Kohleverstromung und Kapitalismus zu kämpfen! Trotz 64 Morden in Kolumbien bezieht Deutschland weiter 1/3 der Steinkohle aus dem Land. Sofortiger Importstopp & Kohleausstieg bis 2030! tagesschau.de/ausland/naturs…

Heute wurden Menschen in #Moria von einem rechten Mob mit Steinen beworfen. Jetzt hat der Mob ein Feuer gelegt, weil er offenbar die 14.000 Geflüchteten im Camp verbrennen will. Völliger Wahnsinn schon wieder und kaum jemand kriegts mit. #LeaveNoOneBehind

Das Auto ist immer noch viel zu dominant in Deutschlands Städten: taz.de/Verbot-der-Pop…

Die Lage der Geflüchteten auf Lesbos bleibt so dramatisch wie nach dem Brand von vor einem Monat. Statt Feuer ist es nun der Regen, der die ohnehin prekäre Situation der Menschen nochmal verschlimmert. Die Europäischen Staaten dürfen diese katastrophalen Zustände nicht hinnehmen!

So ein Blick in die mögliche Zukunft ist doch ein bisschen gruselig... taz.de/Ausbreitung-de… via taz

"An international effort to produce & distribute mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines worldwide" English version of a petition first proposed by Axel Kahn to coordinate an emergency effort to produce and distribute mRNA-based Covid vaccines to the entire world. change.org/p/president-jo…

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

Really interesting, well-researched (and long) article on the origin of SARS-CoV2 and the dangers of gain-of-function research on viruses. Bottomline: The lab escape theory seems to be more plausible than reported by some. thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-or…

Volksentscheid, WIR KOMMEN! 💛💜 Mit sagenhaften 343.591 Unterschriften🎉 🎈Aufgrund der Anzahl an Unterschriften (schon die vorläufige Zahl ist ein Rekord für Volksbegehren in Berlin) gehen wir davon aus, dass es zum Volksentscheid am 26.09. kommt! 💪

Great talks at #SciNLP about exciting applications of NLP research Andy Crouse 🖖 NCBI !

GPT-3 is amazing at complex tasks like creative writing and summarizing. But it's surprisingly bad at reversing words. 🤔 The reason is that GPT-3 doesn't see the world the way we humans do. 👀 If you teach it to reason, it can get around its limitations to get really good. 💡

Great tutorial by ⁦Petar Veličković⁩ at ⁦CambridgeEllisUnit⁩ ML Summer School!

Some ppl have asked why we’d expect larger language models to do worse on tasks (inverse scaling). We train LMs to imitate internet text, an objective that is often misaligned w human preferences; if the data has issues, LMs will mimic those issues (esp larger ones). Examples: 🧵

Hey Signal, why do you keep insisting that I turn on notifications? Being donation funded and tracking-less (which I support very much), signal shouldn’t need to get me hooked, right?

Are Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models just In-Context Learning? Spoiler: YES 🤯 Through a series of over 1,000 experiments, we provide compelling evidence: arxiv.org/abs/2309.01809 Our results allay safety concerns regarding latent hazardous abilities. A🧵👇 #NLProc

Pointwise V-usable information (PVI) excels in many #NLProc tasks. But fine-tuning #LLMs with it is very time-consuming 🐌 Is in-context PVI the necessary next step? Yes! 🎉Check out our empirical analysis accepted at #EMNLP2023 – and this 🧵 (1/7) 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2310.12300

Please drop by our poster tomorrow and talk to my co-authors about how IVON can directly optimize a variational objective with similar performance and cost as Adam but many things on top (uncertainty, model adaptation, diagnosis, ...) Thu. 13:30-15:00, hall c 4-9, poster #1402

📢 10 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted for publication at #EMNLP2024 in Miami! 🇺🇸 And 2 papers from CL and TACL will be presented at the conference 🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved! 💐 – be sure to check them out in this thread (1/🧵):
