From #NLI - ‘Have a "Coke" = Céad Míle Fáilte (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes)... or how Americans make friends in Ireland’.

Finally some positive response from getting a #voiceassistant in a #car: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/02/voice-assistants-in-cars-are-finally-getting-good-enough-to-rely-on/
There are clear use cases for hands-free interaction in #cars, but so far it has been limited by technical problems around #nlu, #nlp, and the overall design of the #nli (Natural Language Interaction) - or in poorly chosen words, the design of the #ai.
For me there is an opportunity deploy them in the wild. Let me know if you want to work on that.

Most #NLI datasets label full sentences. Instead, #PropSegmEnt focuses on fine-grained proposition-level textual entailment in the wild!
For example, we identify the specific hallucinated spans out of a generated summary! #NLProc

I am in the National Library of Ireland a row in front of someone who has to be the heaviest breather ever. It's like being in front of a human French bulldog.
Just felt I needed to share that with you.

Bernárd Lynch, what a wonderful man, living and supporting so many - including friends - through the horrors of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York in the 1980s.
Today, in the presence of Tonie Walsh and other activists from here in Ireland, his papers were formally handed over to the National Library of Ireland, to preserve so much history and so many histories.
