Nice work led by @teknology.bsky.social where we develop a memory system to support a heterogeneous population of independently acting agents by sharing experience through retrieval/personalization, contrasting it with memory confined to a single agent or cooperative team. arxiv.org/abs/2606.19911

Sometimes it feels like some folks are losing the plot about what the goal of publishing research actually is. The goal is certainly not meant to be the productions of papers, but rather the production and communication of science.

what’s surprising here is less that these papers were written or accepted with fabricated citations, but that it’s a symptom that actually reading, understanding, and analyzing literature has deteriorated for both authors and reviews.

as AI increasingly supports shopping and ads, it’s worth remembering that retrieval often shapes who gets exposure in final generated output. in a recent paper, @teknology.bsky.social uses methods from fair ranking to assess and address exposure bias in downstream generation. 841.io/doc/fairrag....

The influence of domain knowledge is huge when it comes to applied AI. Domain expertise can prevent overengineering and/or unnecessary costs. Working in the legal industry as an AI scientist it became obvious early on how crucial it is to build the bridge towards domain experts. Every day.
