@n_keriven baby steps

@_onionesque Thanks a lot, that’s super helpful!

[Aude Genevay @a_gnv]

Naive question: why are people excited about normalizing flows/neural ODEs? Aren't they essentially a rehash of GANs that's even harder to train? I've been looking at many papers and still can't figure out what justifies their popularity, so would love some enlightened input!

[Aude Genevay @a_gnv]

@_onionesque Haha I like that explanation! I guess rehash is not well chosen, but I what I meant is I have seen people use it mostly for generative models and was wondering what their specific advantage was in that case.

@linty_nlp I know it’s trendy to be mean on Twitter but that was a genuine question 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Aude Genevay @a_gnv]

@vernadec it's about time :)

@n_keriven @JuddLegum @fchollet 'left leaning' doesn't have the same meaning in France and in the US... just the basic fact of being pro healthcare or for free education makes you a dangerous socialist here 😬

Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Vote out Donald Trump.

Trying to convince myself that I don't care about #NeurIPS2020 decisions but I have already checked CMT at least 5 times today 'just in case' so I guess I'll stop lying to myself.

I was having a great saturday morning watching the magnificent Pyrénées on #TourdeFrance until Thibaut Pinot started falling behind in Port de Balès. So I'm going back to bed in total denial.

@JustinMSolomon Teaching from your 🚽is the future of teaching?

New paper with my colleagues at MIT, kudos to PhD student Lingxiao Li for an impressive first paper in computational OT!

[Justin Solomon @JustinMSolomon]

Wasserstein barycenters are useful in stats/ML but typical algorithms discretize the domain, leading to low-dimensional/coarse approximations. With PhD student Lingxiao Li, postdoc Aude Genevay @a_gnv, and @MITIBMLab's Misha Yurochkin we construct a continuous barycenter!🔥🎊🎈🎉

@JustinMSolomon absolutely disliked the review form for neurips this year... I felt like I had to repeat the same thing in different entries and couldn't structure my review properly

[Aude Genevay @a_gnv]

@BachFrancis @Col_Iseran I thought of your blog post when I went down La Croix de fer last week :)

[Justin Solomon @JustinMSolomon]

Positions confirmed! Still hoping to hear from more great candidates at the intersection of ML and geometric data. Please send me a quick email if you’re interested or have questions! And, share with any interested colleagues or students.

[Aude Genevay @a_gnv]

@n_keriven And here I thought lack of statistical significance was a big deal... this is revolting — how are people like him still allowed to lead research teams?

@FranceAustralia D’autres vols sont ils prévus dans les semaines à venir svp?
