If I had papers accepted but didn't write about them here did I truly have papers accepted,

I mean it's fun to show cases where LLMs hallucinated stuff as a sort of auto da fe to the human rationale but honestly we can do a bigger demonstration of places where ppl of power and authority (at all levels) have been tear-inducingly stupid whereas LLMs gave reasonably balanced answers,

Do you have a research question or a challenge that could benefit from expert analysis, access to advanced resources, or additional funding?

Consider partnering with an MSc project at The University of Edinburgh.

Interesting visual artifact I just (think I) created: Which do you think is the wider image?

*Both exactly 533 pixels wide

Instead of preparing our IPAB workshop(=seminar) about any of my recent research topics, I decided to give a lecture about Linear Least Squares and all its subtleties (the four subspaces, weak solutions, pseudoinverse etc.). I feel this is something we never quite learn upfront,

"Want to access advanced AI features"? ok there's a "no" option but where's the "NO" option,

Haha it's helpful, but not looking for a solution, looking for a specific type of collaborator,

Natural language is an important one yes, but also through demonstrating what data you have, what you would like to be done on it with some simple visual aids, providing constraints from white papers, etc. the way one would have a conversation with a specialist that should tailor a solution to you.

This sounds like something between HCI and explainable AI. Also not looking for "ask the LLM" but rather more "generate and customize a solution for users which is intuitive, controllable, and meets their requirements",

Is there any (preferably UK-based) scientist (University or company, doesn't matter) who researches AI methods to mediate between high-skill and steep-learning-curve technology and users who might need it, but do not possess the skill, the understanding, or even the idea of what to look for?

I often find chatGPT to be more reliable than wikipedia. Especially for non-mathematical topics. History and politics Wikipedia should be avoided as they are 100% hallucinations and forced agenda,

I don't want to publicly "shame" authors. Recent papers from 2024/25 about automatically learned rigging from videos with geometry priors. There are several of these,
