Happy to have presented our work on a cross-platform smartphone auscultation SDK and optimized filters for severe aortic stenosis detection at this year's #HICSS58. Check out the full paper at hdl.handle.net/10125/109271

Leaving #NeurIPS after two workshops on tabular and time series models, plus short visits to Lynn Canyon and the Vancouver Christmas Market. Shout-out to the @neuripsconf.bsky.social organizers for such a wonderful conference! Who knows, maybe I'll see some of you again in San Diego next year.

In other news: the test of time award went to two papers this year, "Generative Adversarial Nets" and "Sequence to Sequence Learning with Neural Networks." Both of them well deserved 🥳 That's a wrap for the main conference. Now looking forward to some engaging workshops.

At #NeurIPS yesterday we had an invited talk by Danica Kragic illustrating the progress we have made in robotics. And Rosalind Picard reminded us to keep focusing on the human element of our research - in more than one way.

Yes, neural networks can encode information! Since seeing NeRF for the first time I'm always on the lookout for creative ways to use this capability. Here, a #NeurIPS paper using MLPs as signed distance fields for rigid-body collisions: sites.google.com/view/sdf-sim. What else could we use this for?

Yesterday's #NeurIPS invited talk by Lidong Zhou perfectly illustrated how hardware/software co-design has evolved in the age of AI to enable both more efficient and more powerful models. This was followed by a detailed technical review of diffusion models and beyond by Arnaud Doucet.

Stop by East Exhibit Hall A-C #2109 if you're interested in certified robustness at #NeurIPS. I'll be stuck there for three hours so I'm always happy to chat, whether about my work or otherwise 😉

Besides some oral talks and gazillions of posters, yesterday's schedule at #NeurIPS also included invited talks by Sepp Hochreiter, who developed LSTM in his diploma, and Fei-Fei Li, who established the influential ImageNet. Last item on the agenda was the "After Dark" event.

Impressively smooth convergence achieved by Defazio et al. in their paper "The Road Less Scheduled" at #NeurIPS. And since the code is available at github.com/facebookrese... it's easy to try it out on your own machine learning tasks. Time to get rid of the cosine scheduler?

What better way to meet new friends at #NeurIPS than a hike in the surrounding mountains of Vancouver! Joined a few other conference attendees to see a magnificent waterfall, imposing mountain scenery and a lovely sunset to top it all off.

Flew into Vancouver just in time for a beautiful sunset 🌅 Now looking forward to some sleep and a week of engaging discussions at #NeurIPS

Hard to believe that #NeurIPS is just around the corner. Time to post a sneak peek of my poster. If you're interested in the scalability of certified robustness when adding more and more data, stop by for a quick chat on Thu, Dec 12 @ 11 am - 2 pm in East Exhibit Hall A-C #2109

Looks like Friday to Saturday was the best night for the #NorthernLights. Here's a few photos. Not the best, but all I got. It's very rare to see them this far south @erlangen_de and, while faint, it was an amazing experience 🤩

Last Saturday, 200+ students at 8 Bavarian locations competed in #TheTensorTournament hackathon organized by @FAU_MaD_Lab. Congrats to the winners Neural Ninjas, IDEK (both @UniFAU), and Drone Drivers (@TU_Muenchen). Thanks to all organizers and sponsors🎉 https://t.co/vOWOj2V3Tb

Here's a little known @github feature I just learned about that's great for #scientists. If you add a CITATION file to your repo there will be a quick shortcut to cite your paper in the sidebar. To add your own head to https://t.co/5SagvIbywO

With #NeurIPS2023 rebuttals in full swing, who else would like to see @openreviewnet adopt reviewer names similar to @MLflow or @weights_biases run names? I'd very much prefer thanking reviewer industrious-sloth-911 for their thoughtful comments compared to a reviewer GaU7 😅

Super Frying Pan in the Lower Geyser Basin of @YellowstoneNPS is totally underrated. Basically grew up with it and remember when it still was sizzling from some cracks. Now it’s a major feature that commonly splashes the boardwalk, to the delight of many. #Yellowstone150

Second burst of Grand geyser in @YellowstoneNPS yesterday, the world’s tallest predictable geyser at 200 feet. Most only have one burst, though up to four bursts have been reported as recently as 2021. One in 1983 had eleven! #Yellowstone150
