1. Jobs in tech, manufacturing, and engineering are more exposed to AI; HR, public service, and legal sectors are less exposed
2. Exposure to AI shows distinct association patterns regarding offered salary depending on the industry sectors (4/5)

We query based on extracted tasks and retrieve the most similar AI-related patents in terms of semantic similarities.

Weighted AI Index is calculated as the sum of the product between the task weight and the similarity of the task and the retrieved patent.

To track this, we developed the Weighted AI Index (wAII), a scalable method to measure how closely a jobโ€™s tasks align with recent AI innovations.
We extract key job tasks from postings; compare them to AI-related patents; compute an โ€œAI exposureโ€ score. (3/5)

AI doesn't affect all jobs equally. Some industries and roles are far more exposed to disruption from technological innovation than others. (2/5)

"Limited effectiveness of LLM-based data augmentation for COVID-19 misinformation stance detection" by @euncheolchoi.bsky.social @emilioferrara.bsky.social et al, presented by the awesome Chur at The Web Conference 2025

Hot takes:
- The benefits of easily accessible social media data usually outweigh the potential harms.
- Some uses of (public) social media data are unethical/should be illegal, and we should target that.
- We're better off having clear boundaries between public and private online spaces.

Book outline

Book outline

Over the past decade, embeddings โ€” numerical representations of
machine learning features used as input to deep learning models โ€” have
become a foundational data structure in industrial machine learning
systems. TF-IDF, PCA, and one-hot encoding have always been key tools
in machine learning systems as ways to compress and make sense of
large amounts of textual data. However, traditional approaches were
limited in the amount of context they could reason about with increasing
amounts of data. As the volume, velocity, and variety of data captured
by modern applications has exploded, creating approaches specifically
tailored to scale has become increasingly important.
Googleโ€™s Word2Vec paper made an important step in moving from
simple statistical representations to semantic meaning of words. The
subsequent rise of the Transformer architecture and transfer learning, as
well as the latest surge in generative methods has enabled the growth
of embeddings as a foundational machine learning data structure. This
survey paper aims to provide a deep dive into what embeddings are,
their history, and usage patterns in industry.

Just realized BlueSky allows sharing valuable stuff cause it doesn't punish links. ๐Ÿคฉ

Let's start with "What are embeddings" by @vickiboykis.com

The book is a great summary of embeddings, from history to modern approaches.

The best part: it's free.

If you're keen to learn content verification for fact-checking and open source investigations, this is a step-by-step guide on how to verify images and videos that I posted a while ago.

Once you familiarise yourself with reverse search, you'll become much better at spotting online misinformation.
