The Large Language Model (#LLM) Lifecycle from #SANER2025 keynote by Dr. Bang Liu, University of Montreal

➡️ Pre-Training (e.g. data synthesis, model architecture)
➡️ Post-Training (e.g. instruction tuning, bias mitigation)
➡️ Serving (e.g. cloud deployment)
➡️ Utilization(e.g. prompt engineering, RAG)

A great keynote by Foutse Khomh (@swatlab.bsky.social) on “Navigating Fairness Challenges in Intelligent Software Systems” at #FAIRNESS2025. I appreciated the emphasis on #AI model transparency, auditing and governance as essential to the development of fair systems that mitigate bias.

The latest episode of the Front Burner podcast is worth a listen for anyone with a connection to Canadian #highered. 👇
Featuring an interview with @alexusherhesa.bsky.social on the current financial crisis facing Canadian universities & colleges. bit.ly/3B1FjiW
The crisis facing Canada's colleges and universities | Front Burner | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen
At the beginning of this year, immigration minister Marc Miller said the government was looking to rein in the number of international study permits it would be granting, in a bid to take pressure off the strained housing market. But that's been bad news for the post-secondary institutions for which a significant part of their operating budgets come from tuition fees from international students. Colleges in southern Ontario have been particularly hard hit, with many announcing cuts and consolidations — and there could be more to come. But it's only part of the problem. Alex Usher, the president of Higher Education Strategy Associates, explains the crisis Canadian universities and colleges are now dealing with: the result of years of cuts and a refusal to spend more on our post-secondary institutions.

Dear Google Labs -- notebookLLM creates nice, sunny podcasts on STEM papers---but...

Science, 4real, is -ve & adversarial. Please train another model, with data from actual grad students or faculty, so it creates more grumpy pods, which also criticize scope, methods, results etc of papers? 🔭🐡🧪
