For the last months @huggingface, I worked on transformers and... graphs!

So here is a small blog, if you wonder what one could use graphs for, or how to machine learn on them 🔎
(Spoiler: they are everywhere 🧬🚗✍️)

Research codebases get really cluttered over time.

What are the nanoGPTs (https://t.co/QhLasXDvrj by @karpathy) of other models/tasks?

I am delighted to announce that the "real" camera-ready version of my new book, "Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics", is now available. It will appear in print this summer, but it is already freely available online at https://t.co/XjR3no3D2Q.

2022 saw a whirlwind of neuroAI research. Brain Dall-E. Neurons in a dish playing pong. GPT predicts how brains process language. I read through a bunch of papers so you don't have to. Read my review of 2022. https://t.co/Dfvr6APUPU

My favorite non-ML paper I read this year is probably "Bayesian Persuasion" (2011), which I somehow only found out about recently. Simple & beautiful.
The first 2 pages are sufficient to be persuaded.

I think @exafunction will be a revolutionary company and a true disruptor. Of course, if it manages to do what it says it's going to do & have a strong sales presence. Especially deep partnership with big tech.

@samsjainny kindly advise on the next steps. This is very frustrating.

@CheapOair I have been trying to speak with your travel agent for over 3 days now. Everytime I hear they'll get back & no response. Absolutely pathetic!

I changed my Uber account to a man’s name a few months ago as an experiment.

I haven’t been harassed since.

If the driver asks about it, I say, “Oh… boyfriend.

*rolls eyes and smirks with a slight shoulder shrug*

“He’s super protective.”

It’s. Amazing.

Early career years are painful.

You feel like an idiot 98% of the time - lost, confused and insecure.

I wish I had a cheat sheet of principles for my first job.

So I put one together.

Here are 20 things about building a career I wish I knew sooner:

The #1 mistake I see PM candidates make is assuming that they're super talented so they don't need interview prep. Sadly, this leads to a lot of opportunities lost for a lot of otherwise great candidates.
