I was thinking, why should a good computer scientist wait around for an industry partner to run a field experiment? If I can build something people actually want to use, I can take my work out of the lab myself.
Ahead of Halloween, I launched a web app that lets users explore haunted spots near them via AI-generated 3D experiences. It’s doubling as the live field experiment for my TextBO paper.
"I've been really enjoying your podcast, Best AI papers explained, for the last few months. Great choice of papers, and it is interesting how AI boosts researchers' productivity and helps us digest information."
- From a computer science professor/researcher in a tech firm research lab
“Best AI Paper Explained” began as my personal daily effort to stay on top of cutting-edge AI research. It has since grown into a bi-daily podcast with over 1000 subscribers and more than 250 daily listeners. I curate the newest and most important research papers you shouldn’t miss.
I built and deployed an AI chatbot, hosted on my personal website, that answers questions about my research grounded in my actual papers and CV.
I also created a complete, openly licensed, step-by-step tutorial that walks researchers through building the same system from scratch.
Here are my presentation slides on AI/ML studies.
