[Emtiyaz Khan @EmtiyazKhan]

Tomorrow, I will give a tutorial on "ML from a Bayesian Perspective" at ACML 2021.
https://t.co/pyRhcB8hAz

I also wrote a summary for the slides, explaining why a Bayesian perspective is essential for machine learners https://t.co/xN4JxTSaD8

Slides: https://t.co/3Ht6wRJqtn

[Emtiyaz Khan @EmtiyazKhan]

Excited to announce new positions in Tokyo for @BayesDuality, focusing on adaptive, robust, and lifelong deep learning. Get in touch if interested (URMs highly encouraged).

Also available PhD positions @OISTedu (I think due soon).

RTs appreciated. Help us spread the word
