Singaporean AI researchers are kind of rare. Over the years, many people have asked me if I know other Singaporean AI researchers working on the bleeding age.

Here's a thread introducing some of these Singaporean AI researchers who I know of that are doing amazing work!

👇

1) Koh Jing Yu (@kohjingyu) at CMU who worked on Pathdreamer and Parti at Google (https://t.co/YexzlpNW82)

2) Koh Pang Wei (@PangWeiKoh) at Google/UW who works on reliable ML and won the best paper at ICML. (https://t.co/1aGUXRA45J)

3) Shawn Tan (@tanshawn) at MILA who works on NLP and won the best paper at ICLR for the ordered neurons work (https://t.co/jXCgPK3sxq).

4) Alvin Chan (@a1vinchan) at MIT who works on designing medical nanoparticles with deep learning (https://t.co/DQ9z0tXect).

5) Jason Phang (@zhansheng) at NYU/EleutherAI who works on LLMs and NLP (https://t.co/4gm91EVl2u).

Singapore has a lot going for it. Great food, clean AF, low taxes, it's also uber safe. Sadly, AI research is not one of them. It's noisy, and sometimes iffy 😅😅.

As such, younger local Singaporeans (e.g., undergrads) don't really know where to look.

I hope this list gives some grounding & inspiration to the younger (Singaporean) generation who are looking for role models or references.

You're welcome 😀.

@hlb @sama Support!

@sensprabir Yes, I believed we did discuss this before. And its time for the different countries that want to develop their own AI talent and industries to start building their own LLMs.

[Koo Ping Shung @PSkoo]

Put up some thoughts on building #conscious machines. Feedback & comments are welcome. :)

As an instructor myself, I don't understand why our fund administrators insist on having one...takes time away from the more important thing like skills/knowledge transfer.

Things we (scholars) DO know:

-Homework doesn't really help, especially younger kids.
-Students don't learn a thing from testing. Most teachers don't either (it's supposed to help them tweak instruction, but that rarely happens).
-Spending too much time on weak subjects HURTS.

Quarter-century anniversary: 25 years ago we received a message from N(eur)IPS 1995 informing us that our submission on LSTM got rejected. (Don’t worry about rejections. They mean little.) #NeurIPS2020 https://t.co/ZHDGVA9bv1

ML will not be the same in 3-5 years, and ML folks who continue to follow the current data-centric paradigm will find themselves outdated, if not jobless. Take note.
