The IMC 2025 CFP is out! IMC is moving to a two-deadline model: November and May. So the next deadline is 3 months away instead of 8 months away!!. Hope to see many of your papers (PS: please note that papers rejected from IMC 2024 cannot be submitted to the November deadline)

I am really proud of @PrernaKhanna97 on her second paper on accessibility. Accessibility research is new to our lab and she is single handedly moving this research agenda forward.
Prerna Khanna@PrernaKhanna9714 May 2024
Super excited to present our work on 3D hand gesture recognition for blind users at @acm_chi! We look at why existing hand gesture recognition systems don't scale for blind users and design an algorithm that works on a 3D representation of a gesture for blind users.

Submit to the Rising Stars Forum at MobiSys. Deadline is March 26th. This is the second time MobiSys is hosting this forum and is meant to bring together the next generation researchers and provide them with feedback on their thesis/research.

I know many people have noticed this already, but the Iceland Cricket twitter account is an absolute riot.

@icelandcricket19 Nov 2023
The Cricket World Cup is over and what a wonderful experience it has been. We gave it everything off the field and nothing on it, but it's fair to say a couple of the ten teams in the actual event can say the same. The land of fire and ice will one day play in a CWC.

1 million hours = 400 statisticians working full time for 1 year. R likely represents the work of 1000s of statisticians, many having contributed to R for their entire career. I'm not even factoring in millions of hours of field testing by the community.

Awesome students doing awesome things. Do check out this paper on how to make smartphone interactions accessible. I am very excited for this line of research.
Prerna Khanna@PrernaKhanna971 Oct 2023
Are smartphone interactions truly accessible to blind users? Check out our work "AccessWear: Making Smartphone Applications Accessible to Blind Users". I will be talking about this at @ACMMobiCom 2023 in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 today afternoon!

Will reviewers now ask "where's GPT4?" We propose a #BenderRule-like rule: That which is not open & reproducible* can't be a requisite baseline hackingsemantics.xyz/2023/cl… w @b_niranjan @LeonDerczynski @JesseDodge @alkoller @SashaMTL @MaartenSap @royschwartzNLP @nlpnoah @strubell

Closed AI Models Make Bad Baselines

Will GPT-4 become a universally expected baseline in NLP research, like BERT in its time? Basic scientific methodology demands otherwise.

There are many ways to contribute to advances in AI. It is useful to recognize the ways in which using closed AI systems doesn't help reasonably reproducible research. These are important considerations for both individual researchers and the community as a whole.

Efficient NLP methods - an up-to-date survey, to appear in TACL. We cover efficiency wrt: * Data * Model design * Pre-training * Fine-tuning * Inference & compression * Hardware utilization * Evaluation * Model selection This was a blast to co-produce! arxiv.org/abs/2209.00099

Efficient Methods for Natural Language Processing: A Survey

Recent work in natural language processing (NLP) has yielded appealing results from scaling model parameters and training data; however, using only scale to improve performance means that resource...

We @sbucompsc started a comprehensive TA training program for our 300 TAs (across undergraduate, masters, and PhD TAs). This took a year in planning and executing but we pulled it off. The key to scaling was in engaging some fantastic PhD students (our inclusivity fellows)
Stony Brook University Dept. of Computer Science@sbucompsc14 Nov 2022
Our TA training initiative in @sbucompsc is already seeing great results! Kudos to all involved especially our six Inclusive Computing Fellows. @stonybrooku @ArunaBalasubra9 @pfodorcs bit.ly/3AecY5l

If you are interesting in scaling your TA training efforts and want ideas, reach out to me

We've also learnt a lot in the process in terms of what not to do (e.g., move our pedagogy session a couple of weeks up). The TAs and the fellows, as expected, have the best suggestions because they are the closest to the problems.
