Today marks the start of presentations of the “Data Science for Business” (@UGent) projects. This particular project is for #FlandersMake using #RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) #LLM technology to build a #chatbot. Www.mma.ugent.be #orms #DataScience
For the @UGent community: v1.0 of the #LaTeX #beamer #theme is out. A simple input option sets your faculty logo and colors. The #template closely follows the UGent styleguide. More info + template here: github.com/driesbenoit/ugent… #LaTeXbeamer @ResearchUGent @WiNAgent @VTKGent

A special guest in #Lecture4 of #SMWA22: @_3s_ gave a special #MachineLearning cup to the winners of the in-class @kaggle competition. Big congratz! NB Pretty jealous about the #randomforest cup
Thanks for the feedback. Now also available as #Overleaf template: overleaf.com/latex/templates… #LaTeX

Very few people can have two or three big ideas per year, but you need to publish two or three papers a year to keep an academic job. Ergo, lots of uninteresting papers.
I know I published journal articles I wouldn’t want to read.
Evergreen indeed...
An evergreen blog post I wrote in 2009:
Three reasons expert predictions are often wrong

Spijtig dat @destandaard podcast nav 30 jaar #Linux compleet voorbij gaat aan de (hoofd)rol van #GNU, #Stallman, #FSF en veel van hun ideeën/contributies ten onrechte toeschrijft aan Thorvalds: standaard.be/cnt/dmf20210714… @ddeckmyn
En uiteraard zijn heel velen erg rijk geworden door #Linux en het ecosysteem errond, waaronder niet in het minst Torvalds zelf: therichest.com/celebnetworth…
Almost 6y ago, I did a small speed comparison of #Julialang, #Fortran and #Rstats on Bayesian probit model. Recently, I picked up #julialang again and replicated the benchmark. Amazed by the performance of Julia. Writeup + code: github.com/driesbenoit/bench…
Eén jaar geleden intussen, ik viel van mn stoel... Ook experten kunnen en mogen zich vergissen. Maar net daarom moeten hun aanbevelingen ook kritisch bekeken worden. Dat doen we te weinig.
Wordt hier prevalentie (verspreiding) niet door elkaar gehaald met 'dodelijkheid'? 56 doden op 2000 besmettingen: de kans op overlijden gegeven besmetting ligt ruim 20x hoger dan pakweg bij de griep. #killervirus #coronavirus

Ook @UGentDA studenten met sterke programmeer ervaring en interesse (git, unit tests, R, ...) kunnen appliceren. @UGentFEB
Gezocht: informaticastudenten die als jobstudent willen meewerken om statistisch en data science onderwijs online aan te bieden in Dodona (zomer 2020). Samenwerking tussen @ugent_fwe, @Economics_UGent en @DodonaEdu. Belangrijkste skill: softwareontwikkeling. DM indien interesse.
