Prompt: “Animated scene features a close-up of a short fluffy monster kneeling beside a melting red candle. the art style is 3d and realistic, with a focus on lighting and texture. the mood of the painting is one of wonder and curiosity, as the monster gazes at the flame with wide eyes and open mouth. its pose and expression convey a sense of innocence and playfulness, as if it is exploring the world around it for the first time. the use of warm colors and dramatic lighting further enhances the cozy atmosphere of the image.”

Thanks ontotext, it was fun to participate!

We also explored KG trends & applications in Life Science & discussed the #FAIRdata principles, synergies b/n KGs & #LLMs as well as the interpretability & explainability of #AI & #ML w/ KGs thanks to @hdeus from EPAM Systems & @TPlasterer from AstraZeneca.

In 2015, an article in @nature estimated that 800,000,000 USD is wasted annually on nonspecific antibodies. It also suggested standardization, which has not happened. I wonder how much we will spend in 2023 on low specificity antibodies.

We've been using @AnthropicAI's new language model, Claude, to build an in-editor coding assistant called Cody that helps you understand code and reduces day-to-day sources of programmer toil. Here's a sneak peek 👇

If only medical care would move forward and consider the health of all human beings, imagine what we could accomplish as a species!
From now on everyone has to pass their kidney stone naturally even if it might kill them because there were no lasers when God started the universe.

Yup. It's hard and uncomfortable to get out of the world of math and theory but an effort worth making.
Data scientist should probably spend less time learning: • Model architectures • Postprocessing • Ensembling and spend more time learning: • Model evaluation • Model evaluation • Model evaluation Everything you try is a waste of time if your model is poorly evaluated.

Backpropagation was invented by a psychologist trying to understand how children learn language. Who knows where the next world-sweeping ML algorithm will come from?

Hi Twitter followers - on the 7th May I am going to climb a lot of stairs to raise funds for Leukemia in honor of those that I have lost. Will you help me fund them? pages.lls.org/bigclimb/home/…

Very important message from a very successful scientist. Long thread but very worthy of reading to the end
Last week I was invited to sign a letter offering support for David Sabatini, organized by current & former lab members. Universities considering hiring him have asked for this. I will not sign. There was no option to provide a more nuanced response, so I will elaborate here 🧵

Clear evidence for #bias in #AI . Hard to tell how many engineers use DistilBERT but it has 60K stars and 14K forks in github, a sign that it is used in decision making by probably > 100K developers.
I noticed that DistilBERT loves movies filmed in India, but not in Iraq, so I plotted the result for each country: the resulting map is scary. #aibias
