I knew about Rudbeck's Atlantica, but was nevertheless a bit taken aback when I met someone who unironically tried to sell me this as historical fact, around 2008 in Norway.

Proud of Nils Grünefeld, who got one of this year's prestigious PhD fellowships from the Danish Data Science Academy! Nils will work with me and @jesfrellsen.bsky.social on new methods to quantify the confidence of LLMs by exploiting the structure of language.

I'm very proud of my student Marija, who successfully defended her PhD thesis on cross-lingual phonetic vowel representations today!

The "AI" framing of large language models is currently widespread. But what do we even mean by "intelligence" - and what role does it really play in the research agenda in CogSci, NLP, and other fields?

We made a survey. Could you help us pin this down?

Apart from being totally ungrammatical, this doesn't seem to have any of the expected (formal, stylistic) properties of Old Norse verse, like alliteration or use of metaphors. Perhaps it proves that an LLM can output Icelandic/Old Norse word salad if prompted to do so?

add me please?

I'd like to be added if there's still space...

I'm very happy to announce that my PhD student Marija Stepanovic will defend her thesis on Phonetic Vowel Representations for Cross-Lingual Automatic Speech
Recognition on the 17 December 2024. Public defence at the IT University of Copenhagen at 13:00!
