Thanks to everyone who participated in #bnaic2020 last week! Me and Little Ada (https://t.co/TKfe2r2CuJ) thoroughly enjoyed the conference, even though we had to socially distance ourselves from anyone not made out of #lego 🤷‍♀️

See you next year in Luxembourg! 🤓😃🤓

Oh! I almost forgot to shamelessly self-promote!

Said extra special video call is a panel discussion on the "AI rat race" at the industry & society afternoon of @BNAIC_conf, for which I was somehow invited to share my views as an early-career researcher.

"Attending two conferences at the same time is totally doable", said me a little bit after midnight, while pressing
▶️ in yet another #EMNLP2020 🎥 forgotten in my 26 tabs, thinking about the workshop schedule tomorrow and #BNAIC2020 industry & society sessions...

We end today with the second #keynote lecture by Tom Schaul. Very interesting talk about #reinforcementlearning and the challenges that remain when using it to solve tomorrow's problems. #BNAIC2020

[anna @aldlatour]

The theme of tonight's quiz is "stories from abroad". Unfortunately we cannot physically travel these days, but at least we can hang out together and do a quiz about different countries and cultures! 🤓

See you tonight at 20h? 😄
