I think today I set the new record for the longest time span between two consecutive papers at #KDD: 31 years between KDD-0 (an AAAI workshop in Seattle) and KDD-31 (thousands participants in Toronto). Both papers about rule learning, attendance was higher in 1994 (whatever that means...) 🤔

Just checked in for #KDD-25 in Toronto. They handed me my badge reminding me that I better not lose it because it costs 200$ to print one. At least I now know where 1/5th of my registration fee went to...

The GOAT of comedic song writing (and performing)! May his memory be a blessing and a reminder of the joy of brilliant silliness (e.g., my personal favorite: "Lobachevsky" www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL4v...)

I've never done a paper video before, but now we had to do one for our KDD paper on more efficient data structures for our inductive rule learner LORD. I like the result, thanks Phuong! (you may want to turn off the sound though 😀). dl.acm.org/doi/suppl/10...

This concerns so many of us international scientists. The US leadership in science has always relied on bringing excellent scholars to excellent American universities. Fulbright has recognized this has to start at the lowest academic levels, with incoming students as multipliers. #StandForFulbright

Just declined, I think for the first time ever, a reviewing invitation to a major ML conference. IMHO the expected amount of interaction in OpenReview (replying as reviewer to author rebuttals and vice versa) is getting way out of hand, reviewing becomes negotiation. Feels surprisingly relaxing. 😎
