Your friendly neighbourhood (data & neuro-) scientist. Interested in healthcare, big data, social interaction, tea, and cats. 🇫🇮 living in 🇸🇪https://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3mfmytltcks2xWhy do so many academics keep saying "let's try to submit this next week" when everyone can clearly see that the manuscript is not ready? I see many PhD students so stressed out about this when no one tells them "next week" deadline is aspirational, and not actually a real deadline. #AcademicSky24 Feb 2026 20:26 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfmytltcks2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3m3rf5wy2ns25Great talk by @hollycummins.com at Lindholmen developer day. As a data person and as someone who used to work with healthcare this resonated a lot: "don't make human tell computer things the computer already knows". It is so key but so often neglected in practice (&definitely a thief of joy) #databs22 Oct 2025 08:05 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3rf5wy2ns25https://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3m2olcrkxes24Thank you everyone for your suggestions! This is how I ended up plotting my LLM system output vs human annotation vs LLM-as-a-judge evals. Extra thanks to @libbyheeren.bsky.social for boosting my original question. #databs #dataviz [contains quote post or other embedded content]08 Oct 2025 11:52 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2olcrkxes24https://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3lzy6u6ovdc2iAny references for good visualizations of LLM evals? We have orig system output (yes/no), a human annotator's y/n and a number of different y/n evaluations. The aim is to see how good our original system is and how much of the issues do the diff LLM evals catch. How would you visualize this? #databs29 Sep 2025 14:10 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzy6u6ovdc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3lqv4cgp6ys27Academics, get thee some fuck off skills. Marketable skills that can help you fuck off from academia and get employed elsewhere. I see folx do multiple postdocs because they don't know what else they could do. Don't let that be you - make sure you have the ability to fuck off #academia #AcademicSky05 Jun 2025 20:00 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqv4cgp6ys27https://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3loxpdzw7fk2bI seem to re-learn this truth at regular intervals: if you're looking for an explanation of how something slightly niche works, find a master's thesis related to the topic. Students (at least in the nordics) are expected to explain the whole thing and not leave steps out (unlike academic articles).12 May 2025 09:56 +0000at://did:plc:o7pwq77io66e34l5vrs6mdue/app.bsky.feed.post/3loxpdzw7fk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/juulia.bsky.social/post/3lmdfhnm7g22wI was studying at the uni and we had programming courses where you could get support from the TAs on the course's own IRC channel. I used Google reader to keep up with my favorite blogs.
