[M. Maruf @sammarfy]

Excited to share that VLM4Bio has been accepted at #NeurIPS2024 🎉🥳. Congratulations and big thanks to my Prof. @anujkarpatne, my co-authors (notably @arkadaw_, @ksmehrab, @harishB97, @neog_abhilashh), and my awesome collaborators from @imageomics!

@ulrichpaquet @NicLoizou @jmtomczak @DaniCMBelg We are facing a similar issue with our #NeurIPS2024 submission (ID 19132) with review scores of 5 7 7 6 (avg score 6.25) being rejected by the meta-reviewer on an unreasonable concern not mentioned in any of the reviews. I just emailed [email protected]. Hoping it gets looked.

@faysalhossain07 @cseuta @Yuantest3 Congratulations Faysal.

How to network at a conference?

Many students will be attending their first-ever *in-person* conference this year. How exciting! 🤩

Some tips on making the best of attending a conference. 🧵

[Nicholas Coles, PhD @coles_nicholas_]

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

[M. Maruf @sammarfy]

@ElhamodMohannad Big knowledge supremacy.

How to organize your talk?

Qual/prelim/defense/conference season is coming up! 😱 How should we organize the talk so that your committee members won't fall asleep?

Some simple tips I found useful ...👇

[Jia-Bin Huang @jbhuang0604]

How to present a line plot?

Line plots are effective for describing the relationship between two variables of interests.

Unfortunately, most junior students would simply copy&paste the figure from the paper in their talk and cause much confusion. 😕

Let's break it down ... 🧵

[Arka Daw @arkadaw_]

Super excited to share that our work with @bujie314, @marufvt and @anujkarpatne "Learning Compact Representations of Neural Networks using DiscriminAtive Masking (DAM)" will be presented at #NeurIPS2021.

When we ask our graduate students what they like best about @SanghaniCtrVT they often say opportunities for multidisciplinary research. A good example: @arkadaw_ working w/advisor @anujkarpatne @VT_CS & faculty @VirginiaTech_ME on this exciting project. https://t.co/2f0UTqtfkt

How to start a deep learning project?

We use a remarkably streamlined step-by-step process to set up deep learning projects. At the same time, people who are new to deep learning tend to always make the same (avoidable) mistakes.

Check out the thread below! 🧵

M. Maruf's (@mmaruf147) research as a Ph.D. student
@SanghaniCtrVT dives deep into machine learning and deep learning. His collaborative work was accepted at major conferences this year. Next up is #NeurIPS2021. Read his Spotlight: https://t.co/DWa5PRBL8l @VT_CS @anujkarpatne

[The Sanghani Center at Virginia Tech @SanghaniCtrVT]

In @SanghaniCtrVT Spotlight: @arkadaw_ gears his Ph.D research towards formulating generic ways of coupling scientific knowledge w/conventional deep learning. This past year he presented papers in proceedings of 2 major conferences. https://t.co/pYoT332HQB @VT_CS @anujkarpatne

[Jia-Bin Huang @jbhuang0604]

For the first time in five years, I have a full-time work schedule. I thought I will trivially be 3-4 times more productive, but it turns out managing time well is so damn challenging. 😬

After watching productivity videos to procrastinate, here are what I found useful. 🧵
