Hello World! This account will share the latest news and updates about what the Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence (RLAI) Lab at the University of Alberta is up to. Let’s figure out intelligence!

This is OUTSTANDING! We talk *a lot* about the importance of failure in learning but we don’t practice what we preach 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to this crew for practicing

Hello, world! ML Retrospectives is officially live!! We're a website that hosts retrospectives: blog posts where researchers talk openly about their past papers. Check it out at https://t.co/Zc7NQx8XTU. It comes with a workshop at @NeurIPSConf 2019!

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro wants to develop the Amazon. The tiny Munduruku tribe sees the end of their way of life. https://t.co/2cgQUCpVTg

[Alec MacGillis @AlecMacGillis]

"Vast fires, many of them set by loggers, are ravaging the Amazon...The number of forest fires in Brazil has soared 84% this year."

Bolsonaro's legacy to the world is well on its way to being the biggest of any other "populist."

I read more than 160 DMs, emails and texts from people who told me they didn’t have a safe space to share these stories. They were from people in red states and blue states, the united states of hating immigrants and people who just look like they might be https://t.co/mqUxcx50eA

Don’t just hug trees. Plant them. A big global surge in forest size could buy time to fight climate change. https://t.co/zSalZZvLrZ

If you work with human data and/or learning systems for humans, I highly recommend reading this book. What you build will likely be more robust & equitably performing for it. And you’ll your make your mamá proud. #momsrock #MachineLearning #AI #DataScience

[Blanca Miller @blancamiller_]

@aharutyu And mine! This was my first time attending and I loved it because there were lots of friendly people, lots of research taking place at different levels of the RL problem in very diverse domains, and great fundamental questions posed. Can’t wait for the next one! #RLDM2019

Amazon’s convenience is a human cost: “We use...to drive to stores to buy things. Now those things are brought directly to us. That didn’t just happen...by a clever algorithm. It happened by creating a system that squeezes the [lowest] ppl...HARD... Jeff Bezos worth is $118bn”

1/ We got our hands on screenshots from a secret FB group for current and former Border Patrol agents. They joke about migrant deaths, including the death of a teen in their care, and post racist, sexist memes.

Here's what we found.

"The evidence that women are being let down by the medical establishment is overwhelming... The bodies, symptoms and diseases that affect half the world’s population are being dismissed, disbelieved and ignored." @CCriadoPerez @ABRAMSbooks https://t.co/eBRJs3dbM5

A mother who was told she had five minutes to say goodbye to her son before he would be put up for adoption successfully sued ICE over "intentional emotional distress." The settlement could help thousands of migrant parents sue over child separation. https://t.co/IlsgffTpnB
