🧪 Announcing Lapis Labs
🎵 Make it make sense, 'Cause y'all hit me out 'cause I make it make dollars 🎵
Hello everyone! Hope y’all are having a great start to the semester 🫡.
We are kicking things off with a pretty big announcement…..
What?
Our research team is moving under the alias of Lapis Labs.
Check out our new website here: https://lapis.rocks/
Why?
We have made this change for a couple of reasons:
Most importantly, in our published and future work, having ‘AI @ UIUC’ as the accreditation of our authors can be a bit confusing to readers.
The subjects look like ‘UIUC, AI @ UIUC’.
Many people simply confuse us for the AI group at UIUC/NCSA. (https://ai.ncsa.illinois.edu/)
We want to make sure that at conferences and in published work, we stand out as the independent organization that we are!
We have started working with more students and faculty outside our university, and hope to continue to extend our mission to other industry institutions and academic student bodies.
Where?
Check out our newsletter to keep up to date with Lapis Labs.
