The push alerts of the first 100 days of the Trump administration
We downloaded all push alerts sent to the Associated Press' mobile app between noon on Jan. 20 and will be updating through 11:59 p.m. on April 29. We ran the text of these alerts through a model called BAAI general embedding to vectorize it. We then ran a similarity search over the vectors, using a FAISS index, and boosted the specific terms 'Trump' and 'U.S. government.' This project includes push alerts with a similar score of at least 0.4. We checked results against the complete list of push alerts, manually adding 35 whose similarity scores were narrowly under the threshold but that were relevant to Trump's actions. Finally, we manually sorted the alerts into two sets of categories, the first defining whether it was an action or reaction and from where and the second related to the topic. Any statements made by Donald Trump that took effect, such as delaying tariffs, were classified as 'administrative action.'

Meta's head of AI research to depart in May
(Reuters) - Meta Platforms' head of artificial intelligence research, Joelle Pineau, plans to leave the company, at a time when the tech giant is aggressively investing and competing in the AI space. Pineau, who has been with the company for eight years and has led Meta's Fundamental AI Research group (FAIR) since 2023, will depart on May 30, she announced in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday. Over the years, she has worked on projects that are now being used by dozens of teams to build products, including PyTorch, FAISS, Roberta, Dino, Llama, SAM, Codegen and Audiobox, among others. "Today, as the world undergoes significant change, as the race for AI accelerates, and as Meta prepares for its next chapter, it is time to create space for others to pursue the work," she wrote in the post. Last year, the company restructured its artificial intelligence division to unify its AI research portfolio, integrate advanced AI into its products and services, and streamline the development of new technologies.
