NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly.
NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.
Happy to share that our paper on heuristics for the target set selection problem was nominated for the best paper award of the ECOM track at @GeccoConf. Congratulations Martin Krejca and Nguyen Vu!

Happy to share that our paper on heuristics for the target set selection problem will appear at @GeccoConf 2024. Main take-away: Random parameters and simple greedy steps beat costly parameter tuning.

@JosepBorrellF On Tuesday? If my students need a reference letter, I react the same day if needed. If the middle-east explodes, you wait till Tuesday? Enjoy the Sunday roast.
New on the arxiv https://t.co/DXnNLX49kP: Noisy optimization via evolutionary algorithms. Already logarithmic population sizes can essentially remove the negative effect of noisy function evaluations. Appears at @GeccoConf 2024. From @LIX_lab@Polytechnique@IP_Paris_ with love.
