If you sign up, and you review any papers I assigned to you, and later we see each other in person (at a conference or whatever), I will pay for one beer per paper I assigned to you.
As Transactions on Machine Learning Research (TMLR) grows in number of submissions, we are looking for more reviewers and action editors. Please sign up!
Only one paper to review at a time and <= 6 per year, reviewers report greater satisfaction than reviewing for conferences!

Next: Christof Seiler: Prediction Intervals at the Tour de France
Using AI to predict calorie consumption, to plan meals for cyclists. Used variables such as race type, BMI, weather etc.
We also can calculate and correct for spillover in flow cytometry data.
