Tell me you work in AI without telling me you work in AI.

Would love your feedback on this: AI Systems = Code (model/algorithm) + Data. Most academic benchmarks/competitions hold the Data fixed, and let teams work on the Code. Thinking of organizing something where we hold the Code fixed, and ask teams to work on the Data. (1/2)

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

Thanks to everyone that replied to my question on what the AI community should work on. I think if we come together as a community we can make better progress. I wrote about this in The Batch today (reposted here). Would love to hear your thoughts!

I won’t lie, it took a *lot* of work to get to this point, but I’m happy to report that from today I’m on parental leave until November with my 9-month-old son while my wife returns to work. Turns out this is highly uncommon for male staff at my institution! 1/n

Nice to see one of the leaders in the AI/ML field calling for researchers to *slow down* 🐢🐢🐢 #slowscience https://t.co/Jo2YgxGSiF

I will get back to you shortly.

A Vermont team has invented an emergency ventilator.

The simple, inexpensive, innovative machine could be rolled out quickly in response to the #COVID19 pandemic—and the huge shortage of ventilators needed to treat people: https://t.co/zWb9xUdipu #UVMProud

Interesting thread.

[Geoffrey Hinton @geoffreyhinton]

Suppose you have cancer and you have to choose between a black box AI surgeon that cannot explain how it works but has a 90% cure rate and a human surgeon with an 80% cure rate. Do you want the AI surgeon to be illegal?

[Laurent Hébert-Dufresne @LHDnets]

I swear we're serious scientists.

Some of us are definitely not just cute animals in labcoats.

Apply and come see for yourself!
