Hello everyone! This is David de Hilster and welcome to my new website. After working 40 years in industry, I am now “semi-retired” and entering a new stage of my life. This website reflects that change. Today, I am concentrating my creative efforts in three major areas: AI and NLP, my art, and my dissident science channel.
AI and NLP
Twenty-five years ago, Amnon and I co-authored our “dream programming language” called NLP++ for natural language processing (NLP), an area in computer science that concentrates on computers reading and understanding written text. With the severe limitations of today’s large language models like ChatGPT, industry and universities are now seriously taking a look at this computer programming language as way of creating trustworthy NLP. As a result, I have started a part-time job as an adjunct professor at Northeastern University in computer science, am co-authoring a book on NLP++, and leading a new project called the “NLP Blockchain” through the university. Exciting times ahead!
Art
For many years, I promised myself I would get back into art and this website reflects that objective. I have created a gallery of my past works that I have for sale and plan to start doing new art in near future. One of the great coincidences of my professorship at Northeastern University Miami is that it located in the heart of the world-famous Wynwood Art District. This has been very inspiring to me as an artist. I would love to have an art show at the university sometime in the coming years.
I will be adding more art as I go through more of my private collection so come back often to see more works in my gallery.
Dissident Science
Another promise I made myself is to restart my “Dissident Science” YouTube channel. Besides having many people bugging me to bet back on the air, I have come to the conclusion that I have a lot of unique things to say when it comes to science given my 30 years working with brilliant minds outside the mainstream. The channel is for anyone who likes science. Here is my new “trailer” for my channel
