Worth repeating. If the only positive things you can say about a researcher is that they have many papers or citations, then either:
a) you don't know their work very well
b) they haven't done much interesting work
I always push for justification of quality beyond metrics.

Elon’s Twitter overhaul shows change despite ongoing chaos
By
–
Elon Twitter feels like a constant dumpster fire, but it's undeniable that *something* is happening. The old Twitter felt stagnant and like nothing got done (…except NFT profile pics). Remember when they said academics would get verification "later in 2021"?

ICML2023 LLM Detection Policy False Positives Analysis
By

Bringing it back to our community, I wonder how many false positives (and false negatives!) there will be for #ICML2023's ban on LLM-generated text

AI Art Ban Mistakenly Deletes Human-Made Artwork on Reddit
By
–
The r/Art subreddit recently banned AI-generated art. Ben Moran (
@benmoran_artist
) posted his (impressive and human-made) art there, which was deleted for… looking too AI-like? -
Security Paper Review Process Demands Increased Burden Reviewers
By
–
Besides the fact Im getting older, some reasons last year was more tiring:
– security papers are long! 13 two-column pages (vs 8 in ML)
– also, their revision process requires more commitment from reviewers
– more generally, labour expected from reviewers per paper is on the rise -
LLM Plagiarism: Transparency and Ethical Decision-Making
By
–
My issue is lack of transparency. If this interpretation is right, it wouldn't be hard to add a line like: "Whether LLMs plagiarize is an emerging topic of discussion, we deliberated and chose to be conservative, we look forward to how things unfold, etc."

Do Large Language Models Constitute Plagiarism?
By
–
I think it is super debatable whether large language models (and more generally, powerful ML models) count as plagiarism. This seems like a big question that we will have to grapple with as a community and society.

Major ML Conferences Need More Transparency in Policy Changes
By
–
I feel like, in the last couple of years, NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR have made a number of changes, often drastic. Change can be good. But I wish these changes were made with a bit more transparency, rationale, and potentially input from the community.

Submissions vs Papers: Research Collaboration and Student Impact
By
–
To be clear, 14 submissions neq 14 papers, since some are resubmissions. I of course can't know absolutely everything about every paper, e.g., I don't read every line of code. It's hard to say whether great students or collaborators are more important, I'm blessed w both.

Paper Review Practices at Major AI Conferences
By
–
Yes, that is probably true. I put out my numbers publicly to give at least n = 1 data point. I would be curious to know how many papers are reviewed by those who submit 30+ papers to a single conference. Though maybe their large group would make up any deficit.
