#SIGIR2025 notifications should be in today! #AcademicChatter
Call from the past: This week I was contacted about k-delayed tree-local MCTAGs, a formalism I proposed with David Chiang in 2008 
Sadly, both I and the field at large have moved on, but it is so nice to see that someone still gets value out of this

Taught a bonus lecture for a course on Algorithms for NP-hard Problems today. Material won't be on the exam, so technically, this lecture was "just for fun".
Quite some pressure to make coming to class on Friday morning 8:45am worth it for a gang of 20-year-olds.
Students were a hoot. They were listening actively and participating. Great to meet them. Had a blast 
Afterwards, some of them thanked me for the "really great lecture" 
Ab-so-lute-ly exhausted now.
Interesting PhD research opportunity at the Leeds School of Arts: "Queering Architecture"
"Whether it be a question of interiors, urban spaces, or architectural representations, bringing the notion of the queer to bear on architectural histories, theories, and practices provides a rich direction of research and study."

So the rumour is that Trump et al used ChatGPT (or Grok!) to calculate the tariffs. See the screenshot from a FB anti AI group. I dont know if this is true.
Oh shit.

When peer reviewing, only submit a two-sentence "accept" that provides nothing of substance in the case where the paper is better than anything you've ever read. In other words, do the damn work you agreed to do.
The editors thank you.
"On improving the sustainability of peer review" - a good editorial from #PLOSBiology https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003127 #peerreview #academicchatter #academicpublishing
doi.orgOn improving the sustainability of peer reviewThe term “reviewer fatigue” has become only too familiar in scientific publishing. This editorial discusses how we can ease the burden on reviewers to make the peer review system more sustainable, while streamlining the publication process for authors.
You can add "obeying people who believe they are gatekeepers of knowledge" and then "realising that gatekeepers of knowledge are merely self opinionated with long job titles given to them by friends".
Reviewer #1: "The publication records of the applicant do not support the ability of the PI to conduct ground-breaking research. I was not convinced that there is sufficient evidence of creative and original thinking by the applicant, and that the Pi has the required scientific expertise and capacity to successfully execute the project."
All other 4 reviewers saw that I had good enough CV for the project... what an ass.
Not a great morning as woke up to very disappointing news about a paper, that I'll now have to submit to another publisher. Considering a) the extra work involved and b) many publishers now give all their content to AI companies, this thought does not fill me with enthusiasm. Another nail in the coffin of my academic life I think.
“The attacks on Columbia, along with the assault on other universities, have an even broader purpose: They are designed to intimidate hundreds of other academic institutions in America…make every university afraid to offend the administration”

Started a new committee assignment and because the old chair stepped off, no one is sending an email to setup the next meeting for fear of becoming chair by default. #academia #academicchatter
