I find it so wild (and cruel) that #NeurIPS would ask for location preference for presentations before announcing results. If this is for planning, more useful to ask at submission time, if not, this could wait for a ~week. We need to be kinder to the authors, especially the first time ones.

New achievement unlocked — organically came across an article I was quoted in 🥳 A couple of years ago, we were trying a human-centered way to analyze LLMs. Though LLMs continue to get better on tasks these are based on LLM-as-a-judge setting which I am not a 100% sold on.

100% true. Expertise associated with women is systematically undervalued. Knitting, weaving, and sewing each involve extensive programming, material science, and engineering design. Yet, these are not seen from these perspectives.

What puts women off from academic careers is sexism and cryptogyny. Do you as editor fight that too? olivia.science/cryptogyny/

How easy is it to tamper LLMs? Our latest work (set to appear at #KDD 2026 D&B) stress-tests 21 open-weight LLMs and against SOTA attacks and defenses, and makes it easy for the community to benchmark. TL;DR All LLMs are vulnerable. More info in this thread 🔥 1/9

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

🤖 I often talk to companies and organizations who want to use #AI/#ML in their workflows. But before they can leverage these powerful tools, they need to become #data-centric, and what I call — #AIReady

💭Okay, I have to say this. NYT (and I am sure some other news outlets) coming out NOW with articles and opinion pieces titled “How does tyranny begin?” is so jarring and infuriating. #Canadian media — I am also looking at you.

Kind of wild to see #NVIDIA’s stock plunge so much because of #DeepSeek — we will still need GPUs — at least till the time we come up with more efficient hardware alternatives. Yes, orgs will not have to be compute ultra-rich, which is very exciting!

Sirisha Rambhatla @sirisha-r.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Okay, I am excited and relieved that with #DeepSeek the focus will move towards efficiently using training and compute. Just throwing compute at a problem is a problem in itself. Also, hello, it is open source?! That is going to spur a new wave of cool insights! 👀

Weak people with power will say whatever they need to to retain power & be validated, including putting others down. Don’t waste your time on these theatrics. If you feel excluded, remember: These people are wherever they are BECAUSE of their identity & your are here DESPITE it — keep going!

Have not used my #facebook account in years, and never had an #instagram (tried it to shop once and it did poorly even at that) BUT when I used #TikTok, it was a different story — I found niche communities, learned so much, and it became my go-to for art, books, articles, recipes, and so on.
