Absence

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. There is a lot of truth in that saying. I’ve been away at a conference for most of this week, and I’m definitely looking forward to be…

Managing Conference Presentation Stage Fright - Ideas on Fire

Conference presentation stage fright is very common. Here are some techniques to help you manage your nerves and deliver a great presentation.

Ideas on Fire

#AI #ComputerScience #CompSci #PeerReview #AcademicConferences #LLMs: "AI is upending peer review, the time-honored tradition in which academics help judge which research should be elevated to publication — and which should go in the reject pile. Under the specter of ChatGPT, no one can be sure anymore that their intellectual labor is being read and judged by humans. Scientists, even those who think generative AI can be a helpful tool, say it’s demoralizing to be on the receiving end of an evaluation blatantly outsourced to a robot. And in an ironic twist, this blow to the ego appears to be hitting the AI field most of all: Up to 17 percent of reviews submitted to prestigious AI conferences in the last year were substantially written by large language models (LLMs), a recent study estimated.

Already, there are signs that AI evaluations could be corrupting the integrity of knowledge production. Computer-generated feedback may slightly boost a manuscript’s chance of approval, and uploading someone’s unpublished data into a chatbot in order to produce a review could amount to a breach of confidentiality policies. These are problems without easy solutions, ones that organizers of computer-science conferences — the main venues for publishing research in that field — are just beginning to acknowledge.

Unfortunately, AI researchers have only themselves to blame."

Academic associations: when you are looking for graduate students to do work for a conference, perhaps don't offer an honorarium equivalent to less than minimum wage in 12 out of 13 provinces and territories.

That's not even counting the unknown (uncompensated?) time for the mandatory orientation session.
