Podcasts about karger

Welcome to Mad In America Radio. My name is Bob Whitaker, and today my guest is Italian psychiatrist, Giovanni Fava. From 1992 to 2022, Dr. Fava edited the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. We will be talking about the importance of that journal and what may be lost now that the publisher, Karger, may be taking it in a new direction. Here's why this journal, under Dr. Fava's leadership, was so important to us all. When psychiatry talks about how its drug treatments are evidence-based, it points to RCTs and meta-analyses of those RCTs as proof that its drugs are more effective than placebo. However, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics under Dr. Fava's guidance presented a very different evidence base to its readers. First, his journal told of how clinical experiences should govern our understanding of the impact of psychiatric treatments, particularly over longer periods of time. Second, his journal told of how RCTs and meta-analyses when used to direct clinical practices can lead to harm. Third, his journal told of the corrupting influence of pharmaceutical money on the creation of psychiatric diagnoses and drug trials. When Dr. Fava became editor of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics in 1992, it had a low impact factor. When he resigned as editor in 2022, it had an impact factor that made it one of the most influential journals in psychiatry and psychology. He left the journal in good hands in 2022 and he remained involved as an honorary editor. However, in December, Karger fired one of the two editors in chief, Dr. Fava then resigned as honorary editor, and most of the editorial board resigned as well. The future of this journal, which had been so essential to our understanding of the impact of psychiatric treatments is now unclear. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

On this installment, Chris and Bob speak with Beth Bayley from Karger Publishing. Beth joins us from Switzerland to talk about public access to information, Creative Commons Licensing, how librarians can assist in supporting open access, misconceptions about open access and the role artificial intelligence has in open access. Beth was such a good sport […]

Beth Bayley is the Open Science Manager at Karger Publishers, a health sciences publisher based in Switzerland. She co-leads Karger's Open Science Task Force as well as the Karger Ambassadors Program. Specializing in Open Access since 2010, Beth is engaged with strategy, policy, and communications to support Karger's “open for Open“ drive toward a sustainable transition to Open Access that will serve all stakeholders, from libraries to authors to research funders and the broader public.In this episode, Beth shares her journey into scholarly publishing and her role in promoting Open Science. She started with a background in journalism before joining Karger. Beth discusses how Karger embraced Open Access publishing early, launching its first Open Access journal in 2017. Over time, her role expanded to Open Science, which includes supporting researchers with best practices beyond Open Access, such as open data, FAIR data principles, and open peer review. Jo and Beth further highlight the importance of making research data more accessible while considering ethical concerns, especially in medical and clinical research. The conversation also touches on open methodology—ensuring that research methods, tools, and software are transparently shared to enhance reproducibility.

"It's very hard to find examples where people say, 'I'm starting from this point. I'm starting from this belief.' So we wanted to make that very legible to people. We wanted to say, 'Experts think this; accurate forecasters think this.' They might both be wrong, but we can at least start from here and figure out where we're coming into a discussion and say, 'I am much less concerned than the people in this report; or I am much more concerned, and I think people in this report were missing major things.' But if you don't have a reference set of probabilities, I think it becomes much harder to talk about disagreement in policy debates in a space that's so complicated like this." —Ezra KargerIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Ezra Karger — research director at the Forecasting Research Institute — about FRI's recent Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament to come up with estimates of a range of catastrophic risks.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:How forecasting can improve our understanding of long-term catastrophic risks from things like AI, nuclear war, pandemics, and climate change.What the Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT) is, how it was set up, and the results.The challenges of predicting low-probability, high-impact events.Why superforecasters' estimates of catastrophic risks seem so much lower than experts', and which group Ezra puts the most weight on.The specific underlying disagreements that superforecasters and experts had about how likely catastrophic risks from AI are.Why Ezra thinks forecasting tournaments can help build consensus on complex topics, and what he wants to do differently in future tournaments and studies.Recent advances in the science of forecasting and the areas Ezra is most excited about exploring next.Whether large language models could help or outperform human forecasters.How people can improve their calibration and start making better forecasts personally.Why Ezra thinks high-quality forecasts are relevant to policymakers, and whether they can really improve decision-making.And plenty more.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:01:07)The interview begins (00:02:54)The Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (00:05:13)Why is this project important?

„Gerade für Kreative ist ein AfD-geprägtes Umfeld extrem unattraktiv. Wir sehen, wie Fachkräfte abwandern, und das bedroht nicht nur unsere Agentur, sondern die gesamte Kreativszene in Ostdeutschland.“ In dieser Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Ulrike Lerchl, CEO der ältesten inhabergeführten Agentur Sachsens, Oberüber Karger, über die Herausforderungen, die die bevorstehende Landtagswahl am 1. September für die Kreativbranche in Ostdeutschland mit sich bringt. Die politische Landschaft in Sachsen, in der jeder Dritte AfD wählt, stellt nicht nur die Gesellschaft, sondern auch die Agenturwelt vor große Aufgaben. Ulrike Lerchl berichtet über die Kampagne #stabilbleiben, die ihre Agentur ins Leben gerufen hat, um dem wachsenden Einfluss der AfD entgegenzuwirken und den Stolz auf das seit der Wende 1990 Erreichte zu betonen. Gerade in Zeiten, in denen die politische Stimmung rauer wird, ist es für sie und ihr Team wichtiger denn je, Haltung zu zeigen und für eine stabile und demokratische Zukunft zu kämpfen. Ziel der Kampagne ist es, junge Menschen und Nichtwähler*innen zu mobilisieren, ihr Kreuz bewusst zu setzen und so zur Stabilität in Sachsen beizutragen. Ulrike teilt auch ihre Gedanken über die Zukunft der Agenturen in Ostdeutschland, die Herausforderungen, Kund*innen außerhalb der Region zu gewinnen und wie wichtig es ist, den spezifischen regionalen Kontext zu verstehen und zu nutzen. Sie spricht über die Initiative „Ideenplanet Ost“, die den kreativen Austausch und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen ostdeutschen Agenturen fördert und wie diese Initiative dazu beiträgt, das Image des Ostens als kreativer Hotspot zu stärken.

Der schwedische Lyriker und Literaturnobelpreisträger Harry Martinson dichtet über Siebensterne, ein zähes, krautiges Primelgewächs. Macht vielleicht nicht viel her, aber hält viel aus. "Die Entschiedenheit der Schmächtigen", so endet das Gedicht "Siebensterne", "ist nicht geringer als die der Eichen". Großartig! Dazu stellen Lyrikpodcast-Gastgeber Susanne Garsoffky und Friedemann Magaard das Gedicht "Stimmungen" des Wurzeners Joachim Ringelnatz: Manchmal fühlt sich Leben an wie ein machtloser Grashalm, manchmal wie ein alle Kleinlichkeiten majestätisch überblickender Eichenbaum. Zwei Gedichte, die Natur beschreiben und menschlichen Leben deuten. Seelenfeinkost wieder einmal. Dazu gibt es Bibelworte aus den Psalmen.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Rationale-Shaped Hole At The Heart Of Forecasting, published by dschwarz on April 2, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Thanks to Eli Lifland, Molly Hickman, Değer Turan, and Evan Miyazono for reviewing drafts of this post. The opinions expressed here are my own. Summary: Forecasters produce reasons and models that are often more valuable than the final forecasts Most of this value is being lost due to the historical practice & incentives of forecasting, and the difficulty of crowds to "adversarially collaborate" FutureSearch is a forecasting system with legible reasons and models at its core (examples at the end) The Curious Case of the Missing Reasoning Ben Landau-Taylor of Bismarck Analysis wrote a piece on March 6 called " Probability Is Not A Substitute For Reasoning", citing a piece where he writes: There has been a great deal of research on what criteria must be met for forecasting aggregations to be useful, and as Karger, Atanasov, and Tetlock argue, predictions of events such as the arrival of AGI are a very long way from fulfilling them. Last summer, Tyler Cowen wrote on AGI ruin forecasts: Publish, publish, not on blogs, not long stacked arguments or six hour podcasts or tweet storms, no, rather peer review, peer review, peer review, and yes with models too... if you wish to convince your audience of one of the most radical conclusions of all time…well, more is needed than just a lot of vertically stacked arguments. Widely divergent views and forecasts on AGI persist, leading to FRI's excellent adversarial collaboration on forecasting AI risk this month. Reading it, I saw… a lot of vertically stacked arguments. There have been other big advances in judgmental forecasting recently, on non-AGI AI, Covid19 origins and scientific progress. How well justified are the forecasts? Feb 28: Steinhardt's lab's impressive paper on "Approaching Human-Level Forecasting with Language Models" ( press). The pipeline rephrases the question, lists arguments, ranks them, adjusts for biases, and then guesses the forecast. They note "The model can potentially generate weak arguments", and the appendix shows some good ones (decision trees) and some bad ones. March 11: Good Judgment's 50-superforecast analysis of Covid-19 origins ( substack). Reports that the forecasters used base rates, scientific evidence, geopolitical context, and views from intelligence communities, but not what these were. (Conversely, the RootClaim debate gives so much info that even Scott Alexander's summary is a dozen pages.) 10 of the 50 superforecasters ended with a dissenting belief. March 18: Metaculus and Federation of American Scientists' pilot of forecasting expected value of scientific projects. "[T]he research proposals lacked details about their research plans, what methods and experimental protocols would be used, and what preliminary research the author(s) had done so far. This hindered their ability to properly assess the technical feasibility of the proposals and their probability of success." March 20: DeepMind's "Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities", featuring Swift Centre forecasts ( X). Reports forecaster themes: "Across all hypotheticals, there was substantial disagreement between individual forecasters." Lists a few cruxes but doesn't provide any complete arguments or models. In these cases and the FRI collaboration, the forecasts are from top practitioners with great track records of accuracy (or "approaching" this, in the case of AI crowds). The questions are of the utmost importance. Yet what can we learn from these? Dylan Matthews wrote last month in Vox about "the tight connection between forecasting and building a model of the world." Where is this model of the world? FRI's adversarial collaboration did the best here. They list several "cruxes", and measu...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Results from an Adversarial Collaboration on AI Risk (FRI), published by Forecasting Research Institute on March 11, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Authors of linked report: Josh Rosenberg, Ezra Karger, Avital Morris, Molly Hickman, Rose Hadshar, Zachary Jacobs, Philip Tetlock[1] Today, the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) released "Roots of Disagreement on AI Risk: Exploring the Potential and Pitfalls of Adversarial Collaboration," which discusses the results of an adversarial collaboration focused on forecasting risks from AI. In this post, we provide a brief overview of the methods, findings, and directions for further research. For much more analysis and discussion, see the full report: https://forecastingresearch.org/s/AIcollaboration.pdf Abstract We brought together generalist forecasters and domain experts (n=22) who disagreed about the risk AI poses to humanity in the next century. The "concerned" participants (all of whom were domain experts) predicted a 20% chance of an AI-caused existential catastrophe by 2100, while the "skeptical" group (mainly "superforecasters") predicted a 0.12% chance. Participants worked together to find the strongest near-term cruxes: forecasting questions resolving by 2030 that would lead to the largest change in their beliefs (in expectation) about the risk of existential catastrophe by 2100. Neither the concerned nor the skeptics substantially updated toward the other's views during our study, though one of the top short-term cruxes we identified is expected to close the gap in beliefs about AI existential catastrophe by about 5%: approximately 1 percentage point out of the roughly 20 percentage point gap in existential catastrophe forecasts. We find greater agreement about a broader set of risks from AI over the next thousand years: the two groups gave median forecasts of 30% (skeptics) and 40% (concerned) that AI will have severe negative effects on humanity by causing major declines in population, very low self-reported well-being, or extinction. Extended Executive Summary In July 2023, we released our Existential Risk Persuasion Tournament (XPT) report, which identified large disagreements between domain experts and generalist forecasters about key risks to humanity (Karger et al. 2023). This new project - a structured adversarial collaboration run in April and May 2023 - is a follow-up to the XPT focused on better understanding the drivers of disagreement about AI risk. Methods We recruited participants to join "AI skeptic" (n=11) and "AI concerned" (n=11) groups that disagree strongly about the probability that AI will cause an existential catastrophe by 2100.[2] The skeptic group included nine superforecasters and two domain experts. The concerned group consisted of domain experts referred to us by staff members at Open Philanthropy (the funder of this project) and the broader Effective Altruism community. Participants spent 8 weeks (skeptic median: 80 hours of work on the project; concerned median: 31 hours) reading background materials, developing forecasts, and engaging in online discussion and video calls. We asked participants to work toward a better understanding of their sources of agreement and disagreement, and to propose and investigate "cruxes": short-term indicators, usually resolving by 2030, that would cause the largest updates in expectation to each group's view on the probability of existential catastrophe due to AI by 2100. Results: What drives (and doesn't drive) disagreement over AI risk At the beginning of the project, the median "skeptic" forecasted a 0.10% chance of existential catastrophe due to AI by 2100, and the median "concerned" participant forecasted a 25% chance. By the end, these numbers were 0.12% and 20% respectively, though many participants did not attribute their updates to a...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Self-Resolving Prediction Markets, published by PeterMcCluskey on March 4, 2024 on LessWrong. Back in 2008, I criticized the book Predictocracy for proposing prediction markets whose contracts would be resolved without reference to ground truth. Recently, Srinivasan, Karger, and Chen (SKC) published more scholarly paper titled Self-Resolving Prediction Markets for Unverifiable Outcomes. Manipulation In the naive version of self-resolving markets that I think Predictocracy intended, the market price at some point is used to pay off participants. That means a manipulator can enter the market as a trader, and trade so as to drive the market price in whatever direction they want. Unlike markets that are resolved by a ground truth, there's no reliable reward for other traders to offset this distortion. It seems likely that manipulators will sometimes be able to set the price wherever they want, because there are no incentives that offset the manipulation. SKC replace the standard prediction market approach with a sequential peer prediction mechanism, where the system elicits predictions rather than prices, and a separate step aggregates the individual predictions (as in Metaculus). SKC propose that instead of ground truth or market prices, the market can be closed at a random time, and the prediction of whichever trader traded last is used to determine the rewards to most of the other traders. (Much of the paper involves fancy math to quantify the rewards. I don't want to dive into that.) That suggests that in a market with N traders, M of whom are manipulating the price in a particular direction, the chance of the final rewards being distorted by manipulation is M/N. That's grounds for some concern, but it's an important improvement over the naive self-resolving market. The cost of manipulation can be made fairly high if the market can attract many truthful traders. The paper assumes the availability of truthful traders. This seems appropriate for markets where there's some (possibly very small) chance of the market being resolved by ground truth. It's a more shaky assumption if there's a certainty that the market will be resolved based on the final prediction. When is this useful? Self-resolving markets are intended to be of some value for eliciting prices for contracts that have a low probability of achieving the kind of evidence that will enable them to be conclusively resolved. At one extreme, traders will have no expectation of future traders being better informed (e.g. how many angels can fit on the head of a pin). I expect prediction markets to be pointless here. At the more familiar extreme, we have contracts where we expect new evidence to generate widespread agreement on the resolution by some predictable time (e.g. will Biden be president on a certain date). Here prediction markets work well enough that adding a self-resolving mechanism would be, at best, pointless complexity. I imagine SKC's approach being more appropriate to a hypothetical contract in the spring of 2020 that asks whether a social media site should suppress as misinformation claims about COVID originating in a lab leak. We have higher quality evidence and analysis today than we did in 2020, but not enough to fully resolve the question. A random trader today will likely report a wiser probability than one in 2020, so I would have wanted the traders in 2020 to have incentives to predict today's probability estimates. I can imagine social media sites using standardized prediction markets (mostly automated, with mostly AI traders?) to decide what to classify as misinformation. I don't consider that approach to be as good as getting social media sites out of the business of suppressing alleged misinformation, but I expect it to be an improvement over the current mess, and I don't expect those site...

In this week's episode of "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio, we delve into the gripping world of "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" with the thrilling installment, "The Dancing Hands," originally aired on March 19th, 1949. Set against the backdrop of 1940s Los Angeles, private detective Philip Marlowe finds himself embroiled in a perplexing case involving a renowned pianist, a missing manuscript, and a trail of deceit. As Marlowe navigates the seedy underbelly of the city, he encounters a cast of characters including the enigmatic pianist, a seductive femme fatale, and a ruthless gangster, each with their own hidden agendas. With his quick wit and keen instincts, Marlowe races against time to unravel the mystery before it's too late.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI Forecasting: Two Years In, published by jsteinhardt on August 20, 2023 on LessWrong. Two years ago, I commissioned forecasts for state-of-the-art performance on several popular ML benchmarks. Forecasters were asked to predict state-of-the-art performance on June 30th of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. While there were four benchmarks total, the two most notable were MATH (a dataset of free-response math contest problems) and MMLU (a dataset of multiple-choice exams from the high school to post-graduate level). One year ago, I evaluated the first set of forecasts. Forecasters did poorly and underestimated progress, with the true performance lying in the far right tail of their predicted distributions. Anecdotally, experts I talked to (including myself) also underestimated progress. As a result of this, I decided to join the fray and registered my own forecasts for MATH and MMLU last July. June 30, 2023 has now passed, so we can resolve the forecasts and evaluate my own performance as well as that of other forecasters, including both AI experts and generalist "superforecasters". I'll evaluate the original forecasters that I commissioned through Hypermind, the crowd forecasting platform Metaculus, and participants in the XPT forecasting competition organized by Karger et al. (2023), which was stratified into AI experts and superforecasters. Overall, here is how I would summarize the results: Metaculus and I did the best and were both well-calibrated, with the Metaculus crowd forecast doing slightly better than me. The AI experts from Karger et al. did the next best. They had similar medians to me but were (probably) overconfident in the tails. The superforecasters from Karger et al. did the next best. They (probably) systematically underpredicted progress. The forecasters from Hypermind did the worst. They underpredicted progress significantly on MMLU. Interestingly, this is a reverse of my impressions from last year, where even though forecasters underpredicted progress, I thought of experts as underpredicting progress even more. In this case, it seems the experts did pretty well and better than generalist forecasters. What accounts for the difference? Some may be selection effects (experts who try to register forecasts are more likely to be correct). But I'd guess some is also effort: the expert "forecasts" I had in mind last year were from informal hallway conversations, while this year they were formal quantitative predictions with some (small) monetary incentive to be correct. In general, I think we should trust expert predictions more in this setting (relative to their informal statements), and I'm now somewhat more optimistic that experts can give accurate forecasts given a bit of training and the correct incentives. In the rest of the post, I'll first dive into everyone's forecasts and evaluate each in turn. Then, I'll consider my own forecast in detail, evaluating not just the final answer but the reasoning I used (which was preregistered and can be found here). My forecasts, and others As a reminder, forecasts are specified as probability distributions over some (hopefully unambiguously) resolvable future outcome. In this case the outcome was the highest credibly claimed benchmark accuracy by any ML system on the MATH and MMLU benchmarks as of June 30, 2023. My forecasts from July 17, 2022 are displayed below as probability density functions, as well as cumulative distribution functions and the actual result: MATHMMLUResult: 69.6% (Lightman et al., 2023)Result: 86.4% (GPT-4) Orange is my own forecast, while green is the crowd forecast of Metaculus on the same date. For MATH, the true result was at my 41st percentile, while for MMLU it was at my 66th percentile. I slightly overestimated progress on MATH and underestimated MMLU, but both were within my range of e...

This episode of the Live Better Sell Better Podcast features Christoph Karger, the VP of Sales of Sparrks, a Sales Coach at Hyrise Academy, and a Pavillion member. Here's a statistic for you: 91% of buyers would give referrals but only 11% of salespeople actually ask for them.Christoph advises salespeople to be in the moment so they can recognize opportunities to ask for a referral. He breaks down what a referral is and why it is NOT a scary thing to ask your customers. Christoph gets tactical and gives tips on using customer feedback to keep the relationship going and coursing referrals through this very same relationship. HIGHLIGHT QUOTESReferrals aren't about business, they are introductions - Christoph: "Referrals and social work best together because I got so many leads and introductions from LinkedIn that are not my customers just because I was present. I was helping people and asking for their support in return. I think that's something we should also think about, and if not, opening it up a bit more, again, we often think about business when we speak about referrals. What we want is actually introductions and introductions can basically come from anybody who's willing to support us."Communicate with customers after the sale for referrals - KD: "It's this singular road mentality of like, well, I already closed it so now it's in CS's world and I don't get to do those things, I do think it is really, really foolish because we should be staying in touch with our customers because that allows for the referrals to come through regularly."  You can find out more about Christoph in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophkarger/Website: https://sparrks.io/en/Live Better.
