Are these the happiest PhD students in the world?
Nature - Brazil, Australia and Italy have the highest satisfaction scores in Nature’s global 2025 PhD survey — but are these nations really the best places to do a doctorate?

During the last couple of years, we have read a lot of papers on explainability and often felt that something was fundamentally missing🤔
This led us to write a position paper (accepted at #ICML2025) that attempts to identify the problem and to propose a solution.

How will your multi-view model perform if data is missing during deployment?
Usually, this translates into a considerable decline in accuracy.
However, simpler approaches in model design can make it robust to missing data. We address this in our recent paper in the Neurocomputing journal.
