When people ask me about good intro audiobooks, I've always recommended The Martian, which is one of my personal sci-fi favorites accompanied with a voice performance that truly brought the story to life.

#NLProc is hard. I read this trending topic on Twitter, and it took me a full minute before I think I got the correct parse. Is this what #LLMs feel when they read technical stuff they outside of their training data?

Reflection: Building intelligent #AIAgents has a lot in common with developing an exciting professional career (or maybe even personal life), where the tasks you are exposed to today matter a lot to your growth and your ability to take on more challenging tasks in the future.

As the Greater #Seattle Area enters its fourth day of massive electrical/utilities #outages from the #BombCyclone that's still affecting 100ks of people, taking a moment to reflect on the engineering marvels that are the modern infrastructure we have come to rely on day-to-day without thinking.

A core challenge in developing a reliable #AIAgent is the ability to simulate potential outcomes of agent actions, especially at inference time, to guide robust planning and search.

#EMNLP2024 was a fun time to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones! Reflecting on the conference program and in-person discussions, I believe we're seeing the "Google Moment" to #IR research play out in #NLProc.
