Out of curiosity, how many apps do you get approximately? (Feel free to dm instead) 2021-05-20 04:08:32 @jacobeisenstein @ani_nenkova Agreed these other parts are incredibly important! Our process this year was focused on accounting for these issues as well. The gre removal and fee waiver improved the composition of applications we got but the decision making step requires a lot of care and is as important. 2021-05-20 04:03:50 @jacobeisenstein @ani_nenkova Unfortunately that's just one issue. There's inequitable access to prep material or good testing conditions (many have to travel very far to take it and some have to go to other countries). We also simply don't have enough evidence that it measures potential as a researcher 2021-05-20 01:13:34 @chizit7 @jamespweichert I'm grateful to work alongside you all! I know there is a lot of urgent work to be done at the undergrad level. I'm new and still getting used to what opportunities exist at the uni, but you all are on my mind and I'm looking forward to supporting your work! 2021-05-20 01:08:49 @dhillon_p @jacobeisenstein @manaalfar Good idea about running this. Will share if we can. From quickly looking at the list, I expect the result to differ in large part because there are students we admitted from countries where I don't believe we have had many/any grad students in the past 5 years, but worth checking 2021-05-20 00:43:18 @jacobeisenstein @ani_nenkova Re: write ups, Black in AI will be sharing one from a study and we will post what we can publicly and will work with universities as well. Berkeley may choose to share write ups as well. 2021-05-20 00:41:13 @jacobeisenstein @dhillon_p @manaalfar Not sure how things work out other places, but that hasn't been the case at Cal. The incoming cohort is one of the most internationally diverse ones. GRE is even more expensive outside of the US (additional fees+relative cost). Happy to hear what adverse effects we may be missing 2021-05-20 00:37:22 @ChrisGPotts @jacobeisenstein Agreed. It's important to consider who bears the brunt of the burden for flaws in our admissions processes. 2021-05-20 00:33:11 @jacobeisenstein @ani_nenkova ... but it is a lever that significantly hampers what else you can do. Good for departments to be mindful about other barriers like app fee waivers (regardless of citizenship status) and other proxies that might become a stand in and watch out for long-term dynamics. 2021-05-20 00:31:44 @jacobeisenstein @ani_nenkova This is what happened at Berkeley. Main issue here is that the cost of the GRE is a barrier to students from marginalized groups, so many can't even apply. Berkeley had 100+ Black applicants this year -- a massive increase from prev years. Removing the GRE is not the only lever.. 2021-05-19 18:40:16 @moarbugs We picked up where you all left off :) Thanks for the work you all did -- it really helped! 2021-05-19 17:43:32 RT @REthinkNL: How can #economists apply #ai for good?

And troublemaking for social good is a positive thing :) 2021-02-24 20:35:20 @trashcanmagic I feel you on this and sorry about these barriers. If I had literally any other interest outside of academia, I am sure I would have made the same decision. 2021-02-24 20:33:36 @joe_hellerstein Yes we definitely have it easier than other fields on average. (Partially because our avg is rigged...) I do think tho cross department comparisons can at times be a trap. No one should be this underpaid regardless of what they did before and what they can do after. 2021-02-24 20:30:35 @joe_hellerstein We wrote the same thing at the same time -- absolutely! Cross department organizing is the way to go! 2021-02-24 20:30:02 @joe_hellerstein In any case, CS departments tend to have more power within universities. This isn't always a good thing, but in cases like this I think we may be able to push to improve things for all departments and I hope we will! 2021-02-24 20:27:40 @joe_hellerstein Depends on which students, honestly. "Borrowing from the future" is not really an option for many people. A lot of people end up forgoing CS grad school b/c they can't afford to be so underpaid for so long. Even things like when the 1st month check arrives makes a big difference. 2021-02-24 20:22:30 Grad students and contingent academics are severely underpaid. Our current system only works for people with few/no financial responsibilities and safety nets. It's only this year that I didn't need to be constantly worrying about how to make ends meet and let me tell you... 2021-02-24 19:33:22 @sethvneel @ben_golub right! and some manage to get to grad school without starting in math 55 :) 2021-02-24 19:30:36 @sethvneel @ben_golub To be fair, this was in part because I managed to navigate the department by avoiding professors who told students who started math in college that "the world does not need more mediocre mathematicians." 2021-02-24 19:28:57 @sethvneel @ben_golub This isn't entirely true. I started in Math 23 and didn't do grad classes until my junior year and got competitive math PhD offers. Some managed this starting grad classes later than I did. I worry that there's a self-fulfilling prophecy in how we're discussing this issue. 2021-02-24 14:59:46 @itsafronomics @femme_economics @drlisadcook I forgot the best part -- I sent him an email after saying that I'd recommend not going around asking about parental occupation at academic events since it may other 1st gen students.

For me and many others, an app with experience in other sectors would stand out over the literally thousands of apps we'll be reviewing with the same tech internships. It'd signal independence and resourcefulness.

Right now, I'm functioning as a single matchmaker which is clearly not scaleable and I'd love to have partners in this! 2020-12-03 23:07:16 As academics, I hope we also reflect more critically on what doors we open for our students. In grad school, I tried hard to do internships in the public sector, but neither I nor my faculty mentors had good connections, while there were many pathways to big tech internships. 5/6 2020-12-03 23:07:15 Later, once I hit my stride as a researcher, I got another recruiting note to which I responded with a "please remove me from all your recruiting lists."

And kudos to you for sticking with it! 2020-12-01 01:53:37 @SiddNambiar I'm sorry to hear this. Giving timely honest and constructive feedback is also part of the job. They could have been upfront with you about the strength of the letter or their evaluation so you can make an informed decision 2020-12-01 00:28:44 @loyd_andre 2020-11-30 18:25:56 @2ayasalama I feel you! 2020-11-30 18:18:43 @DanykaKByrnes Same! I really do think it helps that students know recommendations are not a favor. It's very hard to know this without someone telling you or if one didn't grow up with professor parents/family. 2020-11-30 17:59:43 As a student, I had a hard time asking for letters of rec. I feared being a burden and that I can't ask unless I did everything _perfectly_ while working with my mentors. I now proactively tell my mentees that I'd be happy to write them strong letters & 2020-11-30 02:56:59 @ben_golub Jerry is the best! 2020-11-29 23:48:36 @TaliaRinger @EliSennesh @samth @roopshasamanta @HerrDreyer @HilaCodes @natefoster There is a disheartening number of mechanisms through which this discrimination persists. Another example: https://t.co/MhPjY8Mh9k 2020-11-29 03:06:54 @_memunat_ @3AInstitute @e_salvaggio @choisheungkay @jade_mikaela Congratulations, @_memunat_ -- It's really incredible to see you thriving and making us proud! 2020-11-28 04:24:22 @geomblog @sarielhp @OfficialTanvi @plin25 Huh, my impression was that there's some bar for # of papers but beyond that people focus on how excited they are about your best work (possibly second best work), broader research vision, how you communicate it, and a whole host of other factors unrelated to the candidate. 2020-11-28 01:52:52 @OfficialTanvi @plin25 Anytime! I'm sorry you have to deal with this unreasonable pressure. There are a lot of important questions in recommender systems and inequity/diversity. You'll do great work on this and I'm sure many other things! 2020-11-28 01:49:55 @OfficialTanvi @plin25 I don't know anyone will let me be on search committees after this :) 2020-11-28 01:47:42 @OfficialTanvi @alpha_convert @plin25 My favorite theory projects are when you spend like 18 months trying to prove something and you learn that it's false or your model is unhelpful/wrong and you have to start over. Fun times. 2020-11-28 01:45:02 @OfficialTanvi @plin25 This is a very interesting metaphor! I really don't think that people are getting jobs because they have some large number of papers though. (Maybe I'll retract after being on search committees.) I'm confused about where this advice is coming from and why it's so prevalent. 2020-11-28 01:40:41 @carlcolglazier @jeffbigham @josephseering @landay @ProfJayFo Agreed it's good to think ahead and have professional development goals (esp if considering non-academic jobs). There's not much funding in the humanities (even to finish one's PhD), so an n-year plan there makes more sense to me. Not sure how well it transports to CS 2020-11-28 01:29:55 @OfficialTanvi @plin25 everyone should be screaming internally at that number... I don't know a single area where this is a realistic expectation or even a 2-approximation of one honestly 2020-11-28 01:26:17 @jeffbigham @josephseering @landay @ProfJayFo @jeffbigham there are just so many problems with the suggestion from this person, and this is absolutely one, not to mention quantity over quality, the suggested volume, lack of differentiation between types of papers, & 2020-11-28 01:22:15 @jeffbigham @josephseering @landay @ProfJayFo OP here! Completely agree it's unrealistic to assume you can plan our your PhD your first year. I approached mine as a 1 year commitment at a time (and told my advisor). Everyone I knew in grad school pivoted areas/goals, so I don't understand how you can plan further out. 2020-11-28 01:19:24 @rajiinio @geomblog sounds like you're living in this person's head rent-free 2020-11-27 22:48:24 RT @_alialkhatib: i met people who told me that they were embarrassed or sick of the thing they were presenting someplace, and didn't want… 2020-11-27 22:29:06 @natefoster @samth @lambda_calculus @roopshasamanta @HerrDreyer @HilaCodes Also I think these papers should be written & 2020-11-27 22:25:25 @natefoster @samth @lambda_calculus @roopshasamanta @HerrDreyer @HilaCodes I completely agree about primarily focusing on 1-2 papers. Honestly, from my search process, it felt to me like that was closer to what we were doing in practice anyway, despite all the advice about over-publishing, but I have yet to sit on job search committees. 2020-11-27 22:18:48 @HerrDreyer @JAldrichCMU @HilaCodes @natefoster I believe they did similar studies with NeurIPS as well as WSDM with consistent findings. 2020-11-27 22:16:42 @saisrivatsan07 What I can offer for now is that as a grad student I would have preferred to work with faculty who didn't have this expectation before I even got to grad school since it indicates that I might find their expectations to be unreasonable/unhealthy once in grad school. 2020-11-27 22:13:48 @saisrivatsan07 Yes some faculty/admissions committees do this and it's totally unreasonable. There are faculty and committees that categorically reject this (hello!), but it takes time. 2020-11-27 22:10:51 @avt_im @priyald17 This is another real issue: not only can multi-disciplinary work take longer to do, it is also harder to publish in more-established venues. Things are changing (e.g., AAAI and EC created new tracks in the past few years), but there's still a lot to fix! 2020-11-27 22:08:32 @lhochstein I don't know many people PhDs with 15 papers. For the few exceptions that I know, the # only comes up as a negative... this may say more about the people I talk to regularly than broader perspective shifts on over-publishing, but it is not nothing. 2020-11-27 22:06:41 @geomblog @rajiinio Hilarious and sad is exactly right, especially given all the evidence about randomness of the review process. 2020-11-27 22:06:02 @paulwgoldberg Maybe some corners of CS (e.g. econCS?) have a more reasonable publication culture, but things really feel like they are at a breaking point in AI/ML (and I'm sure some other areas of CS too). 2020-11-27 17:57:54 RT @randi_c1: Love this video on Python basics by the most #savage lady in EECS: https://t.co/794rSirj16 Check it out and give her a follow… 2020-11-26 20:56:42 @machanavajjhala @vj_chidambaram @geomblog Rolling deadlines seem like a wonderful idea.

I do think tho the internal pressure could be a response to external incentives and unspoken pressures from the field. 2020-11-26 18:47:09 @isbellHFh @landay @ProfJayFo Surely there are solid strategies for evaluating faculty without prioritizing # of papers. @beenwrekt has a lot of interesting thoughts 2020-11-26 18:43:26 @kheimerl @landay @ProfJayFo :( I know of super senior faculty who feel this pressure and anxiety. Why are we doing this to ourselves and research communities? 2020-11-26 18:40:07 @hadyelsahar @vnfrombucharest Thank you for calling this out! This is a massive threat to our field -- lots of disengaged and shallow work fueled by the overpublishing mania. We all lose as a result. 2020-11-26 18:35:22 @vnfrombucharest @ani_nenkova I am a fan of long term projects + communicating intermediary results. When we set number of paper as the metric, that's all people will remember and I think it fundamentally distorts the type and quality of questions we ask, not to mention the mental health burden and inequity 2020-11-26 18:30:07 @MsalemUBC It will not. This is bad advice we should actively push back on. 2020-11-26 18:28:27 @houseofdyer Setting aside problems with this metric, I don't know that it's even a good strategy. I haven't seen anyone impress and get jobs/awards etc due to number of papers. I know some cases where too many low quality papers were a red flag. I don't know why this advise out there 2020-11-26 18:22:45 @vj_chidambaram @geomblog Faculty can change this! I was shielded as a grad student primarily thanks to my advisor who himself doesn't publish to publish and feel reasonably shielded from it now thanks to some senior colleagues (& 2020-11-26 18:16:59 @Sarahdez76 This was in AI but I don't know a field where this is a reasonable expectation 2020-11-26 18:16:06 @geomblog This wasn't a Berkeley student but pretty much every uni I know has this problem to some extent (although maybe not as bad as what you mention which sounds very stressful... Yikes) 2020-11-26 18:13:42 @drdrtsai This absolutely contributes to distress and anxiety. Definitely worth highlighting! 2020-11-26 06:22:09 @landay Yes in AI :( I can't imagine how anxiety-inducing I would have found this advice as a first year... 2020-11-26 04:20:52 @BikalpaN I completely agree -- change needs to come from faculty not just in words but also in action! 2020-11-26 02:47:58 @roeschinc Exactly. I can't imagine saying more than work hard on things that are important to you. As much as we want to control everything, we know that there's a ton of randomness in this whole process. yeeesh 2020-11-26 02:37:26 @roeschinc and especially to say to a first year PhD student... 2020-11-26 02:29:21 @ShlomoArgamon I don't actually know if this is even a good strategy for getting jobs.
