As a small Christmas present I have created the Image-text dataset using digitalized artworks from National Gallery of Denmark and their text descriptions in Danish/English (when available)

The dataset was collected using SMK API (www.smk.dk/article/smk-...)

“Vi har teknologien, regnekraften og ambitionerne – men vi mangler hænder og hjerner. Derfor er vores opfordring klar: Styrk STEM-uddannelserne og investér i forskning, udvikling og datadrevne løsninger”- @forperson.ida.dk og Marianne Thyrring @dmidk.bsky.social jyllands-posten.dk/debat/breve/...
Kunstig intelligens kan hjælpe med vejrudsigten. Men det kniber med at finde hænder og hjerner nok til at drive det
Kunstig intelligens kan hjælpe os med at forudsige og forebygge fremtidens ekstreme vejr. Men Danmark kan komme til at mangle 20.000 specialister, hvis ikke vi satser nok på forskning og uddannelse.

Fantastisk dagsorden 🥳 Held og lykke til Færdselsstyrelsen.
Styrelse vil være uafhængig af Microsoft
På sigt er det målet, at 15.000 IT-brugere på statslige arbejdspladser skal over på det alternative 'open source' system.

Always nice to get some level of confirmation that your questions and ideas are not totally stupid:)

It's not often that I want to share required reading material from a course but here we go.

My main takeaway is that being entrepreneurial is to be resilient by not planning too much, seek out opportunities and taking chances as they arise.

What a wonderfully approachable blog post about a deeply technical topic

the bug that taught me more about PyTorch than years of using it
a loss plateau that looked like my mistake turned out to be a PyTorch bug. tracking it down meant peeling back every layer of abstraction, from optimizer internals to GPU kernels.

As someone who learnt so much by watching @shiffman.lol's coding videos in high school, I never imagined that one day my own library would feature on his channel! 🥹

If you're interested in learning more about 🤗 Transformers.js, I highly recommend checking it out!

Really enjoyed reading kyutai.org/next/codec-e... and getting to know more about neural audio codecs
Neural audio codecs: how to get audio into LLMs
Why modeling audio is harder than text, and how to make it feasible with neural audio codecs.

correct

i’ve been saying this for a couple months. RL is driving towards specialization

my hunch is it’s temporary and something will shift again back towards generalization, but for now.. buckle up!

Testing out offline language model (SmolLM2-360M) along with in-browser database (pglite.dev with pgvector) for a completely local RAG system that runs on a phone.

Thanks @xenova.bsky.social for building so many demos and examples to build on top of! :)

I’m experimenting a bit with writing thoughts about my PhD in public. Not sure what the format will or won’t be. Just thought that an earlier (and future!) version of myself would enjoy reading along :)
What has happened in the first week?
