Test of time honorable mention and award at #ICWSM 2025 🏆

Super surprised and honored to receive the single Best Paper award 🏆 at #ICWSM this year (out of 138 papers) for my work with Leon Leibmann, Amy Zhang, and Tim Althoff on Reddit Rules! 🎊

I’m stoked to have received two honorable mention awards at ICWSM! With work led by Giuseppe (Peppe) Russo, thorsten and Maciej! Sad I couldn’t attend this year but looking very much forward to catching up with this community next year!!!

Are AI scientists already better than human researchers? We recruited 43 PhD students to spend 3 months executing research ideas proposed by an LLM agent vs human experts. Main finding: LLM ideas result in worse projects than human ideas.

Very cool

A good chunk of the AI-generated content we see right now is paid for by VC money. E.g., Leonardo.ai, a popular image/video creator, offers Veo3 **cheaper than Google**! It is like early-day Uber.

July 4th break in our #AI4Science seminar series. Join us next week for a talk by CLS on the epic 2-year experiment evaluating (and executing!) AI-generated scientific ideas. lu.ma/9qq72ebt
