9.6 million seconds = 1 PhD 🔥

Finally analyzed my PhD time tracking data so you can plan your own research journey more effectively: mxij.me/x/phd-learning-dynamics

For current students: I hope this helps put your journey into perspective. Wishing you all the best!

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?

Bertram Højer @brtrm.bsky.social · Dec 4

What do YOU mean by "intelligence", and does ChatGPT fit your definition?
We collected the major criteria used in CogSci and other fields, and designed a survey to find out!

Code: 4S7V-SN4M-S536
Time: 5-10 mins

Perspectives on Intelligence: Community Survey

Research survey exploring how NLP/ML/CogSci researchers define and use the concept of intelligence.
