@ICBINBWorkshop @astoica73 When NeurIPS is in person again I really hope this is still a thing

@colinoflynn Honestly, every one of these suggested emojis could sum up the situation pretty well

@kiran_tomlinson Well deserved 🙂

@ccanonne_ Is this the MCMC way of asking "why do we need 1/2 of them?" 🤔

[Emma Pierson @2plus2make5]

One of the first great pieces of research advice I got, from a faculty mentor, was to bang your hand on the desk really loudly and yell BAM!!!!! when you made some research progress, because external recognition is rare. A decade later I'm still doing it.

@gautamcgoel Runner up: do some math that vaguely involves a distance function and call it "The geometry of..."

[AI21 Labs @AI21Labs]

Today we’re launching AI21 Studio, a platform where you can instantly access our state-of-the-art language models to build your own applications - including a 178B parameters model, Jurassic-1 Jumbo. We can’t wait to see what you create!

We think the spotlight can fit into practitioners' toolkits, fitting into a broader feedback loop of developing, auditing, and repairing models.

Collaboration with @jasondeon_ and my co-advisors James Wright, @k_leyton_brown.

My first PhD paper is up! We develop "the spotlight", a method for identifying systematic errors in trained deep learning models without access to side information like protected features.

...an Amazon review classifier misunderstands Spanish reviews, and a matrix completion model is often overconfident about reviews for Pulp Fiction! (More datasets and spotlights in the full paper.)

@ChelseaParlett ...yes. Either that or a Pokemon Yellow throwback
