I'm a bit of an eclectic mess πŸ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

"Name Your Colour For the Task: Artificially Discover Colour Naming via Colour Quantisation Transformer. (arXiv:2212.03434v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)" β€” An exploration as to whether machine learning could evolve and discover a colour-naming system similar to humans via optimising the communication efficiency represented by high-level recognition performance.

"Don't Blame the Annotator: Bias Already Starts in the Annotation Instructions. (arXiv:2205.00415v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)" β€” A hypothesis that annotators pick up on patterns in the crowdsourcing instructions, which bias them to write many similar examples that are then over-represented in the collected data and a study of this bias in 14 recent Natural Language Understanding (NLU) benchmarks.

"Auditing Gender Presentation Differences in Text-to-Image Models. (arXiv:2302.03675v1 [cs.CV])" β€” A method using fine-grained self-presentation attributes to study how gender is presented differently in text-to-image models to quantify the frequency differences of presentation-centric attributes (e.g., "a shirt" and "a dress").

@at I had a similar issue with tech news. I love it here but most of the tech news accounts I used to follow on Twitter are not on here and there didn’t appear to be any replacements. Somebody pointed me to this site yesterdday:

It allows you to follow a given Twitter account accessible via ActivityPub. I set up following Engadget yesterday and it works pretty well so far πŸ™‚

Hello , if you know a Black woman student (HS/College/Grad School) or early career, I am going need you to lend me your ears.

The Sadie Collective, a nonprofit for Black women in quant and social science fields, is hosting their first in-person conference since 2020 from February 16 - 19, 2023.

Sponsor a student you know to go: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2023-sadie-tm-alexander-conference-for-economics-and-related-fields-tickets-445153565297?aff=Website.

Please share widely!

I am looking for software engineers who are not white males and would be willing to volunteer to record a short (30-seconds) video about why ethics is important in their professional practice. It's for our first-year Computer Science students. I have the white male videos sorted, and would like a more diverse group. If you would like to help, get in touch with me here. Thank you! :)

For today's , I have a very special tree.

This is an ancient hornbeam tree that is about 700 yrs old.

It looks like two trees, but it's actually a single tree that has begun to compartmentalise in the latter part of its life. I explain more about this below.

I'd love to go back to shoot this again in the fog. Here's hoping things align the next time I have an opportunity to get up to this remarkable forest.

Hello, I am a friendly person who enjoys coffee, photography, and cat pictures a lot. I am obsessed with stationery items, especially with fountain pens. I am also an assistant professor of computing science but I am planning to share more of personal stuff here (and occasionally a bit of work updates perhaps) when I have time. This is my belated
