@TheCinesthetic It's good that Bradley Cooper was there.

Instead of interpreting the black box @UsmanMahmood27 inserted a transparent glass window into hist model. Meet "Through the looking glass: deep interpretable dynamic directed connectivity in resting fMRI" #fMRI #Neurosciences

The hackathon and intermissions yesterday were quite insightful! Looking forward to more discussions today at @mcgovernmit with the whole team @satra_ @UsmanMahmood27 @HodaRajaei @WillAshbee888 @MMasoud2021 and everyone

I’m back in Europe.
This time it’s for #IJCNN2022 (part of #WCCI2022) in Padua, Italy. I’m here to represent the work of my #students - @UsmanMahmood27, @yaorong368, and @WillAshbee888.
Feel free to drop me a line if you’re around and would like to catch up.

@Christopher456 How does it matter what the church says? It's not that the USA is a religious country where all laws are made in accordance with what the church says. For example, what does the church say about same-sex marriage?

@alihaider907 @TheHustle Isn't that true for all kinds of investments?

[Usman Mahmood @UsmanMahmood27]

I had a great time presenting my 'glass-box' DL model at the @GSUBnB annual retreat. Thank you everyone for the excellent, thought-provoking questions and discussions.
Stay tuned for the journal paper on the work.

@RanaAakanksha Exactly, arxiv and other such services should not show authors and their affiliation. The names can be revealed upon request if there is a conflict regarding who came up with the idea first.

[Usman Mahmood @UsmanMahmood27]

@PlisSergey @RanaAakanksha But people/reviewers do.

@wcci2022 Can we find some stats on the submissions? The number of submissions, acceptance rate, demographics, etc? Usually, some are provided with a decision notification.

[Usman Mahmood @UsmanMahmood27]

@wcci2022 If the primary author (first-author) presents the paper remotely because of traveling restrictions (visa issues) then the paper will be published in the IEEE Interactive Electronic Library (IEL) as part of IEEE Xplore?

[Usman Mahmood @UsmanMahmood27]

@wcci2022 Is it mandatory to physically attend and present the paper at the conference? Or it is possible to do it remotely/virtually?

I see that some people aren't happy with Elon Musk buying Twitter (putting it lightly) but I am not sure why. Does anyone know why?

@Flora_Cohen @davidawinkler You don't have a good advisor.

[Usman Mahmood @UsmanMahmood27]

@sasha_zabelski @kafedjiska Never happened to me. Now I am not sure if I should be happy or sad!!

@fieldarchisolab @AcademicChatter We all felt that at some point. 1) Ask people from your field (peer, supervisor) to read your paper to make sure it has novelty. 2) Take a break. 3) Read more papers to improve writing. Take a writing course. 4) Remember that academic writing is tough. 5) Keep writing.

@FantonSilvia @g0neill @rastko_ciric @oesteban NetPlotBrain is good but BrainNet Viewer is better but sadly only available for MATLAB.

@science_latte Why did you do a Ph.D. in the first place?
