what software do you use? Sometimes when getting started writing, I'll open up a GDoc, turn on voice dictation, and pretend I'm talking to a friend. It's fine for small-stakes stuff, but i'm interested in something better designed

Excited to give a spotlight talk on transferrable student models @EDMConf2021 tomorrow! My first time attending, but I already recognize many names/papers/topics that have influenced my thesis research samspaulding.com/resources/S…

A new paper, largely based on my thesis proposal, is out today in @FrontRoboticsAI! In it, we discuss ways that educational agents can personalize to human students across task contexts and over time, combining transfer and continual learning techniques frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Come join me and a fantastic group of speaker, panelists, and presenters for a half-day workshop at #HRI2021 tomorrow! Details in thread and at leap-hri.github.io

certainly a similar flavor around the OpenAI/GPT-3 discourse re: "the scaling hypothesis" and "the bitter lesson". Manhattan Project budget would be ~30billion today, so perhaps we're still only at the Fermi/Szilard Pile-1 stage (~$50mm today)

2 great keynotes + many interesting lightning talks already! Though we're not in Corvallis together, I'm still really enjoying this workshop #RSSpioneers

It was such a treat to participate in this fantastic, important initiative. I had a ton of fun getting involved and I'm glad to see it launched! If you like it, consider donating a set of materials iamascientist.info/donate-a-… #IAmAScientist @theplenary

all the more reason to make sure the decision is a wise one

Discussion is great, but what about the "discussion" around opening Memorial Drive / Riverbend Park, which remains even more locked down compared to pre-pandemic protocol! How about holding the City Manager accountable for turning discussion into action?

Let's start immediately! If the City Manager continues to stonewall action towards this human-centered transit future, how can you offer him another 3-year contract in the fall? @PattyNolan1 @VoteJivan @MayorSiddiqui @qzondervan @DennisCarlone @CambMA @cambbikesafety

sigh...so disappointing! Its been great having space to properly distance and exercise on some of the other stretches of road DCR has closed. CM's contract is up for renewal soon, no?

boooooo @VoteJivan give us an explanation for this madness!

.@kaliouby has been such an inspirational scientist, mentor, entrepreneur, and leader to me. Her new book, #girldecoded, is out soon and I will absolutely be reading it as soon as it releases!

This #GivingTuesday, I donated to TransitMatters, an incredibly smart, passionate, and effective org helping MA fix infrastructure, reduce traffic, and make our cities and states better places to live! action.transitmatters.info/j…

I just donated to help @CalforNC win in my home state! NC has been horribly gerrymandered for years, but a pair of recent court rulings will force maps to be redrawn for the next election, the best opp. for change in years! Help move NC forward in 2020!
