you probably know your social feeds aren't random. but why you're suddenly getting cat memes isn’t always obvious. often, it's due to it's recommender systems. in our new MEAP, hidden influences, @lucab.phd shares his take from working with 'em at Twitter. get it half off: hubs.la/Q03XnNbz0

Heading back from NeurIPS after a very intense week. Some personal thoughts: * the conference is huge, with 29k attendees total (including virtual). It’s very overwhelming especially if you have fomo * at the same time it’s also very humbling to be surrounded by so many great minds

The Italian Data Protection Authority @gpdp.it t has requested information to DeepSeek to confirm what data is collected and used. A similar move happened with ChatGPT in 2023, just before incognito mode was introduced. www.garanteprivacy.it/home/docweb/...

In late October the @ec.europa.eu released a draft of the Delegated Act of Article 40 of the DSA, which mandates data sharing with external researchers. My thoughts on why it matters for @techpolicypress.bsky.social . Special thanks to Justin Hendrix. www.techpolicy.press/data-sharing...

embeddings are such a fundamental tool of the modern ML stack except no one takes the time to explain them in at the right depth read this great piece by @vickiboykis.com to know everything you always wanted to know about embeddings but you were too afraid to ask!
