Please try to look deeper than success rate for agent evaluation. Thank you. arxiv.org/abs/2606.17541
AI Weekly's analysis

- Fernando Diaz argues success-only metrics tie agent comparisons on roughly 75% of instances, gutting statistical power.
- His preference-based trajectory evaluation compares progress and time-to-return profiles, cutting ties to roughly 35%.
- The paper suggests apparent benchmark saturation may reflect the evaluation measure, not exhausted data or problems.

You might also like a recent perspective piece we have, taking a program evaluation point of view on algorithmic accountability: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.25668 it's about predictive, not GenAI; but is refocusing the role of social systems in AI evaluation

At Percepta, we've helped Summa Health automate the process of fairly scheduling nurse shifts. This is the type of work I'm really proud of, clearly using ML to make folks lives easier and better www.percepta.ai/blog/buildin...

I also keep a list of courses here: are.na/maria-antoni... I think @anamarasovic.bsky.social’s course and the Stanford course by Yejin and Diyi were the best/most helpful for me!

More broadly, the call emphasizes a range of ways AI work can have impact -- through field deployments, informing policy, changing what practitioners do, etc -- and we encourage authors to articulate a "theory of change" along any of these or other axes. aaai.org/conference/a...

Recent commentary
i don't think we should waste real expert reviewer's time reviewing mediocre AI-written papers and having real expert reviewer provide valuable feedback that, presumably, will just get sent to LLMs to complete. at that point the reviewers might as well be authoring along with the authors
need an ai agent to pm me on my multiple projects (or keep me from adding too many projects to my stack)
feeling .... extremely depressed today how llms are giant plagiarism machines, and how much work on the side of review it takes to point that out.
I think often in AI for social good research spaces, we talk about projects as just consulting projects (derogatory) But actually, I think there's a lot of worth in developing consulting capabilities: paying attention to client needs, building mental models for client goals, processes, resources
i feel like prototyping an ai product or workflow to Work Well and Add Value instead of becoming More Workslop is like cooking. you need to be tasting as you go, and even as models are getting better, you need someone to be tasting as you go along (where tasting = looking at the data)
