I just moved and Toast discovered a love for rolling in bathtubs; she had never seen one before now. She also figured out how to open new types of doors, and so my cat-proofing battle continues.

New @ai2.bsky.social paper accepted to #NAACL2025! We worked with Teaching Lab and ASSISTments to create a new dataset for evaluating VLMs. DrawEduMath includes 2,030 teacher-annotated images of students’ handwritten responses to math problems.

I tried this "accent guesser" by a service which claims to be "the fastest way to sound like a native English speaker." start.boldvoice.com/accent-guesser
