What a banger is skrub @skrub-data.bsky.social ! Big thumbs up for the sklearn team & the maintainer of this package

I don't know what to say. You dream about it for so long and then when it finally happens you're in shock. I'm so proud of you Larry. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It looks like a date frame, but Skrub stores the whole transformation pipeline in the magic skb attribute!

The right to be forgotten is a biggie, so deletes has to be ✅ But I'm having a hard time coming up with a defensible reason for updates/upserts .. Curious to hear @sap1ens.com's thoughts..

Proud advisor moment: Today, my first PhD student @arnabphani.bsky.social successfully defended his PhD thesis in front of a great committee of Ana Klimovic, Tilmann Rabl, me, and @mersault.bsky.social (w/ summa cum laude - very good with distinction). Arnab is on the job market, so don't miss out.

Happy to share this paper, which was in the making for a while (@arnabphani.bsky.social‬ showed great perseverance and continuously improved the prototype, experiments, and paper presentation).

First post here! I'm currently researching how LLMs can be grounded in tables, bc they're a goldmine for fresh domain data. We've now introduced the 🎯TARGET benchmark for evaluating table retrieval in RAG pipelines, e.g. QA/factver/text2sql: target-benchmark.github.io Thinking BM25? Think twice..🧵

Debugging date-related code was already horrible, but debugging generated date-related code through prompt engineering is a whole new level of madness…

ICE has 20,000 agents. The only way they'll deport millions of people is with the help of software. If you work for a company that's selling their tools to help ICE do this work, you should leak to reporters what's going on.
