Quick reminder to get in touch if you are interested in working at the intersection of rugby and AI. These two projects are still available, but perhaps not for long. No time to waste! Grab these scholarships now.

Final round for SRP! While we know the top six, the exact lineup for the qualifying finals is still unknown.
I’ve written a tool that lets you simulate and visualise the ladder permutations. Click for details (and link to the browser-based tool).

Super Rugby is about to start, and the schedule can hide team strength early on, so here is a quick guide about how not to get too excited (or too worried)

New season about to start, and just like the players tuning up in today’s pre-season game, we are also preparing some exciting things on the data front.
If you want to be part of it, get in touch!

Just arrived in Sydney for the ADSN conference (@AustralianData). If you’re here too, let’s catch up during the breaks.
Our Centre is represented on all 3 days. Today, you’ll hear from our members during the “fast-forward” presentations and the poster session.

I have updated my simulation tool to include the two results from the weekend. Great win for the Wallabies, but consistency will be key to get a top-6 seeding for the World Cup draw. It is still far from certain: open.substack.com/pub/dimitr…

First post on substack. I’ve had a look at World Rugby rankings, and what they might look like by the time they really matter (when the RWC draw is made). open.substack.com/pub/dimitr…

It was a pleasure to talk to Paul Cully a few days ago about my analysis of the Super Rugby Pacific season. His article is now up on the Sydney Morning Herald website: smh.com.au/sport/the-numbers…

Everyone is excited about the Super Rugby Pacific season, but why has it been so good? I have crunched some numbers to find out, and you can read about it on RugbyPass here: rugbypass.com/news/the-raw-d…

Giving a talk this afternoon on what advances in AI mean for healthcare, for the Annual Scientific Meeting of @AOA_ortho. The theme for the plenary session is “making data the solution”. My take is “don’t make it the problem”; start from clinical needs rather than the technology.

Interesting quantitative data on the use of LLMs in publishing being presented by @james_y_zou at #ISMB2024. It looks like 16–17% of text in both the manuscripts AND the peer reviews are written by LLMs!

Our latest work exploring ultra rare CRISPR systems with new big data algorithms has been published by @ScienceMagazine! @zhangf @soumya_kannan12. This thread will unwrap how we found needles in a haystack of metagenomes. Let's dive in! (1/8) doi.org/10.1126/science.adi1…

This time of year, students are applying for PhD programmes in the US, but can I also suggest you consider Australia🦘?
