Peter Kyle wanted her out, so you know we're in trouble now.

🚨BREAKING: The Alan Turing Institute, a place where AI should flourish, can't decide if it's a tech haven or a confused identity #crisis 😂. Maybe they're too busy solving complex algorithms to notice they've lost their own plot? 🤖🔍

It's like AI is a hustle to everybody except wankers like Peter Kyle...
"The complaint, seen by the BBC, accuses the institute's leadership of misusing public funds, overseeing a "toxic internal culture", and failing to deliver on the charity's mission."
Poor Alan Turing, exploited by the state while alive, driven to suicide by that state and decades later they're using your name and dragging it through the dirt.

For this year's Pint Of Science the Turing is showcasing "AI and the big human questions" with three amazing talks on health, travel safety and (most important of all) the weather (the latter from @hut23's very own Nathan Simpson!). Plus the Big Quiz of AI.

“A drinking game based on mentions of ‘stakeholders’ or throwaway references to the need to ‘consult civil society’ would prove fatal” by @chalmermagne
My longstanding prejudice that most (all?) British “internet institutes” comprise civil society grifters seeking political influence, social control or business opportunity without technical innovation aimed towards abundance, is somewhat more refinedly put in:

🍿 In today's episode of "How to Squander £100 Million and Alienate Your Staff," we explore the comical misadventures at the Alan Turing Institute 🏢. Despite a cash infusion, they seem to have mastered the art of achieving absolutely nothing, except maybe winning an award for "Most Ironic Use of Turing’s Name." 🤖💸

#AI system called #Aardvark could deliver #weather forecasts as accurate as those from advanced weather services but run on desktops. Developed by #UK's #AlanTuringInstitute, #CambridgeUniversity, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and Microsoft, Aardvark aims to make sophisticated forecasting accessible to countries with fewer resources, particularly in #Africa.
The system has already outperformed the US Global Forecast System on many variables in testing

Each June, the #ResearchEngineering Group (#REG) at the #AlanTuringInstitute takes a break from its typical activities to participate in an internal #HackWeek.
We did a lot of fun and "productive" work! Here's our post describing all the weird and wonderful project in detail 🦎 🦖 🫣 ♣️ 🥀 🦀 ☕

It was great to hear Jeremy Yates talk about the BASE II project at #HpcDays in his talk "Blueprinting AI for Science at Exascale". It sounded like we (Research Computing at the #AlanTuringInstitute) could really benefit from the outputs of the project.

The latest Turing Data Story has just been released:
"Esports predictions: Overwatch League"
It's a great story and a lovely walkthrough of datascience techniques of broader interest beyond #Overwatch:
"Overall, we were surprised by how general our analysis turned out to be: In the end the method that we got the most mileage out of were the Elo ratings, which can be applied to almost any game or sport."

Next was an essential panel on the British public's attitudes on #AI at the #AlanTuringInstitute w/Florence Enock, Roshni Modhvadia, @helenzmargetts, @ShannonVallor, Ben Lyons, and Gina Neff. This report focuses on specific applications and moves beyond what various experts think and to what people actually want - finding attitudes much more accepting of AI than skeptics but also heavily prioritizing explainability over numerical accuracy. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUG6y_E2UD4 (7/9)

Very proud of my Public Policy Programme colleagues at #AlanTuringinstitute and their brand new publication about children's rights and AI.

Well done @janiswong and the rest of the team!

Next was a nice talk by Santtu Tikka on identifying causal effects at the #AlanTuringInstitute. This is a bit technical, but a good look at a tough problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjk8xwR-cI (3/7)

First was an excellent pair of talks by Anthony Cohn and Yarin Gal on commonsense reasoning in #LLMs and quantifying and expressing model uncertainty at the #AlanTuringInstitute. Both of these talks show the importance of understanding how models are created and trained as well as how designers should better communicate appropriate use cases. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8mYlJt9Ba0 (2/11) #AI
-
Next was an engaging pair of talks on benchmarking #LLMs by @katie_m_collins and video summarization by Mirella Lapata at the #AlanTuringInstitute. These benchmarks, while not perfect, are better than most, and the challenges of video understanding shows how far #MachineLearning has to go. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RgFz_Yzskk (5/7)

Next was an intriguing talk by Andrew Webster on causal attribution fractions in #health at the #AlanTuringInstitute. Starting with a simple premise - how much of a disease is caused by exposure - and then gets into the details of how to go about mathematical estimating that from data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xaDz6KfMb8 (6/8)

My life is in a state of flux as I move on from #Jolla in #Finland and head towards the #AlanTuringInstitute in the #UK (I'm literally writing this from the airport). I've updated my Now page to reflect the turmoil.
