Excited to share my 1st paper as a PhD student at @uwmadphysics.bsky.social working with @uwdsi.bsky.social!

Our paper introduces a novel way to benchmark self-supervised ML models and evaluate mutual information estimators on realistic data.

Glad to have worked with this group. More to come!
New paper, with @rkhashmani.me @marielpettee.bsky.social @garrettmerz.bsky.social Hellen Qu. We introduce a framework for generating realistic, highly multimodal datasets with explicitly calculable mutual information. This is helpful for studying self-supervised learning

From my friend:
"I opted out of Dominos selling of my info. Not only did it take 4 different screens, 1 email, 1 SMS, and 6 business days, they got back to me with this message."
How can that even be legal. We will continue to sell your data if you clear your cookies?

On to the next event for today!

As a @uwmadphysics.bsky.social Outreach Fellow, I’m at Madison East High School performing a couple modern physics experiments with other Fellows.

Excited to host the UW–Madison NSF HDR ML Challenge kickoff meeting today with the WI IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center. The challenge: develop algorithms that can identify subtle differences and anomalies across three datasets. Thanks to all who participated! @uwmadscience.bsky.social

That’s Josh from A3D3 explaining the 3 challenges! I can peep @kylecranmer.bsky.social there too. 👀

@garrettmerz.bsky.social is here hiding just outside the photo.

A lot of people from UW Computer Science, Statistics, and @uwmadphysics.bsky.social! @uwdsi.bsky.social @uwmadscience.bsky.social

New to the app, as many are I'm guessing. Who are the best people to follow for #geeky stuff, #gaming, #tech, and #science?
