#AI4NZ poster and pizza session was a lively end to the day. Really interesting posters and discussion- and great to have a chance to meet with colleagues and collaborators from across the UK in person 💚

Great to hear more about this project, and how AI has informed the research process. #AI4NZ @Leep_Institute

Dgpsi v 2.5.0 Is released to CRAN and Conda today! Gaussian process network modelling for networks just got faster, more Scalable and more visual. #ai4nz

[ADD-TREES @ADD_TREES]

Dr Simon Gardner from @NERCscience opening address underway setting out the role of AI and Data Science within the research council portfolio including the £13m investment in the #AI4NZ programme

Welcome to Exeter and conference kick off from Professor Brett Day. “Fantastic to see so many #AI4NZ experts here and we look forward to a fabulous few days”

[ADD-TREES @ADD_TREES]

We’re off! The 1st AI for Net Zero Conference kicks off today. Amazing to see so many researchers together working on such a critical issue #AI4NZ

[DB Williamson @BayesExeter]

good luck everyone at the #AI4NZ conference today! @ADD_TREES

[ADD-TREES @ADD_TREES]

Great to have the chance to share our work today at the #AI4NetZero community of practice event - lots of fascinating talks and knowledge exchange.

Danny Williamson, @BayesExeter, our lead researcher presented the team’s #netzero2050 policy focussed work.

[ADD-TREES @ADD_TREES]

Find out more about the work of one of our research leads, @IlyaMaclean. He's researching with
@metoffice on protecting forests from pests and pathogens #IntForestDay

We're heading to #AIUK today!
Come and see us at the @QEIICentre tomorrow and find out more about how we're using #AI to Fast Track tree planting for #UKNetZero2050

Officially a published climate scientist now?

@dan_p_simpson To what extent any of those questions counts as “stat epistemology” I guess is inversely proportional to how much I agree with you.

[DB Williamson @BayesExeter]

@dan_p_simpson What you mean by your probabilities/inferences, who else should believe them and what else do they need to believe and who can make what types of decision/inference based your analysis are they key questions.

@richardosman just finished the book, having opened it yesterday evening (I’m not a slow reader but NYE errands etcetera pulled me away). I just wanted to say, bravo! I haven’t enjoyed a book as much in years (or maybe ever). Also, thank you. True escapism in 2020; remarkable!

[DB Williamson @BayesExeter]

@dan_p_simpson There is still time...

[DB Williamson @BayesExeter]

@dan_p_simpson There is coffee and lack of sleep up here

[DB Williamson @BayesExeter]

@dan_p_simpson So before you feel sorry for academics having to update their software again because Apple released another buggy OS, try to remember that the existence of the software probably funds a team of researchers and makes them some of the most highly cited researchers in their field...
