New software package by our lab that can boost record linkage performance using language models - in one line of code, for free - all possible within a colab notebook! Do share any feedback! #Econtwitter
Introducing LinkTransformer: LT brings the advantages of AI to standard data frame manipulation tasks like merges, deduplication, and clustering, making it easy to use large language models in a standard data wrangling workflow. #EconTwitter (1/10)

I hate golf.
17th century garden in the Golconda fort has been torched under ASI’s consent to make room for a golf course. Heartbreaking and shameful ! Plugging this piece on gardens in Indian history by @KapadiaAparna for @scroll_in

@akshaygn01 Surely, ride-hailing cos. must have considered it and shot it down already? They must have a comparative advantage in these logistics and a consumer base ready for them? I don't see why quick commerce firms have any advantage here

Outrage over a marketting gimmick (that's all i can see it as with the recent negative press on quick commerce) wouldn't really make a difference. What we need is investment in healthcare - but we haven't been able to do that since forever.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was a key inspiration behind my career choices. For my relatives who wouldn't be bothered to know what I actually do - it was enough to know that I am doing what once MMS did in his youth. May he rest in peace. 🙏

#WATCH | Villagers in Chakwal, #Pakistan, where former Indian PM #ManmohanSingh ancestral home stands, came together after his passing. They shared memories of his childhood in #Gah, where he studied until 4th grade, and expressed a deep wish to attend his funeral across the border. (courtesy: @ghulamabbasshah)

@SiddharthKG7 He was not even 16 when the "loss" of the empire and the diamond happened... so not really. The empire was lost as many do - lack of a fitting successor to a giant like Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Cannot agree with this take. Leaving this here without further comment for now.
"the One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) scheme reflects a failure of informed science policymaking in India. Yielding to for-profit foreign publishers and calling it a game-changer and ‘atmanirbahar’ (self-reliant) is a major irony."

@itihaasnaama @YaleSouthAsia This sounds like a cool workshop! If you publish proceedings, or a list of readings - that would be great!
