Vom Autor Alex Schulmann war vor einiger Zeit die Rede. „Die Überlebenden“ habe ich mir seinerzeit auf Französisch bestellt, weil ich kein Schwedisch kann. Nun hat sich die Gelegenheit geboten, das Buch zu lesen.
Es ist kein leichtes Buch – weil es es darin nicht nur um die Beziehung von drei Söhnen zu ihren Eltern und zueinander, sondern auch auf mehreren Ebenen um den Tod geht. 1/2

I was looking for my dishwasher manual. I noticed next to the manual, a link that said "Free Open Source Software". Curious, I clicked on it, and it's a long list of licenses and copyright information that is used in the dishwasher. Ctrl-F, and sure enough - my name's on the list.

Creating speech datasets for low-resource languages is a critical yet poorly understood challenge, particularly regarding the actual cost in human labor. This paper investigates the time and complexity required to produce high-quality annotated speech data for a subset of low-resource languages, low literacy Predominately Oral Languages, focusing on Bambara, a Manding language of Mali. Through a one-month field study involving ten transcribers with native proficiency, we analyze the correction …

Are LLMs ready to help non-expert users to make charts of official statistics data?
In this time when biased information, deep fakes, and propaganda proliferate, the accessibility of reliable data sources is more important than ever. National statistical institutes provide curated data that contain quantitative information on a wide range of topics. However, that information is typically spread across many tables and the plain numbers may be arduous to process. Hence, this open data may be practically inaccessible. We ask the question "Are current Generative AI models capable …

Na pewno nie pożałujesz włażenia tak wysoko, z tymi kratowymi kładkami i siatkowym płotem, które pozwolą ci docenić, jak bardzo wysoko jesteś, i tym silnym wiatrem, który zacznie na ciebie dmuchać jak tylko wyjdziesz zza narożnika.
