My PhD thesis on "Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning" is now online!

If you are interested in how uncertainty propagates in sequential decision-making and how we can use it for training policies, then my thesis might be of interest!

@oxinabox_frames There's a setup for a niche joke there: "how many physicists does it take to..."

Not sure about the punchline. Could we workshop it with the same 50-100?

I will be "available for new opportunities" for employment/contract as of mid-July.
I am frankly very good at what I do
Which is anything around the intersection of mathematics and programming.
Machine learning, optimization, simulations, data science etc

New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C. https://t.co/8RJ605RaN3

A call to all #julialang package authors to add Downgrade CI with scripts to copy-paste! This is an article about how to improve testing of package version compatibility and new systems I would like to see throughout the rest of the ecosystem.

#julialang v1.10 is released! Major "time to first X" and loading time improvements! With this one, I tend to not even do any system image shenanigans anymore: standard Julia is fast enough to start for me for anything I tend to use. Great work all!

[Takuya @TakuyaIwanaga]

@ChrisRackauckas I was trying v1.10.rc3 the other day and I must say it felt very snappy. v1.9 had a slight, barely perceptible, lag when working in the REPL compared to Python, but that's gone in v1.10

[Takuya @TakuyaIwanaga]

@mdneuzerling Maybe? Is it everything that was promised?

[Takuya @TakuyaIwanaga]

Whelp...

New preprint on value-of-information (VoI) analysis:

We introduce uncertainty and risk metrics, and mathematically connect VoI to optimal design!

@martinmbauer MAUP? It's not quite ecological fallacy. In any case insinuating release will have no effect vs not releasing seems like a bad faith argument. To be clear, I'm not for or against.
