1/ Okay, one thing that has been revealed to me from the replies to this is that many people don't know (or refuse to recognize) the following fact:

The unts in ANN are actually not a terrible approximation of how real neurons work!

A tiny 🧵.

Why does anyone have any issue with this?

I've seen people suggesting it's problematic, that neuroscientists won't like it, and so on.

But, I literally don't see why this is problematic...
This would be funny if it weren't sad...
Coming from the "giants" of AI.
Or maybe this was posted out of context? Please clarify.
I can't process this...

The slides for my lectures on (Bayesian) Active Learning, Information Theory, and Uncertainty are online now 🥳 They cover quite a bit from basic information theory to some recent papers:

and I'll try to add proper course notes over time 🤗

NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. 1/3

tractability has a precise definition taken from computer science!

So in probabilistic inference, it means solving exactly in polytime a certain query class of interest. In this case compute all possible probabilities for joint assignments.

Shameless plug from a tutorial here 👇👇👇

Excited to share that our paper "Self-Calibrating Conformal Prediction" with Ahmed Alaa is accepted at #NeurIPS2024! 🚀

We combine model calibration and prediction intervals by integrating Venn-Abers into conformal prediction. #conformal #calibration

You can create your own rule-based feed with @skyfeed.app, or run a completely self-hosted feed server if you want to go fully custom.

For instance, @serge.belongie.com and I just set up an ML Internship feed that collects posts by a keywords-regex and hashtag-MLinternship
