When I first started reading papers in ~2007 we would wait for someone who attended the conference to bring back the conference booklet and tell us what to read. We’d read them. And then spend the next three months reading old papers or working cuz 🤷 It was a great way to grow up.

This article really spoke to me; all the science I've enjoyed and that I thought came out well has been done with a colleague that I was talking to every day and almost every couple of hours

#EMNLP2024 1. Tools Fail: Detecting Silent Errors in Faulty Tools Are you using tools with your LLMs? Are you assuming your tools are perfect? Assuming the LLM can just handle any errors for you? 😬 Danger… 🚨 Models trust tools over their own “knowledge” even for simple and well trained cases.
