Over the past year, I grew linearly in age, exponentially in size, stubbornly in wisdom, inversely in AI knowledge, and fluctuatingly in my outlook for the future.
Entering a new decade is scary, but slightly less so if you have somewhere to place hope.
Happy birthday to me 😛

We just finished Fargo Season 5 and my partner is searching twitter for what people he follows say about the show and found a slew of posts of mine before he met me, all about my dog — whose name is, unmistakably, Fargo.

There are numerous types of experiences in the world; each moves and shapes us in its own way. But reading Murakami has to be its own category. I can't think of anything else even close to it.
Not claiming it's good or bad, just a disjoint node in the graph that's distant from all the other nodes.

Last year, we funded 250 authors and other contributors to attend #ICLR2024 in Vienna as part of this program. If you or your organization want to directly support contributors this year, please get in touch! Hope to see you in Singapore at #ICLR2025!
Financial Assistance applications are now open! If you face financial barriers to attending ICLR 2025, we encourage you to apply. The program offers prepay and reimbursement options. Applications are due March 2nd with decisions announced March 9th. iclr.cc/Conferences/...

Now out in @NatureNeuro!
Animals can do Transitive Inference (TI): quickly learn, and reconfigure, global order from partial info (learn A>B, B>C,C>D, immediately know A>D).
But currently no neural model explains the observed features of TI.
So we asked the machine to find one for us -and it did!

Probably pregnancy hormones, but this drew tears from me today: A new mom was describing how she found it hard to connect her newborn to the one in the womb that used to kick her every day, "the kicking baby feels like a totally different person, who stayed behind in 2024 with that pregnant woman."

I'm sick of being so sick 🤢 I've had like a total of 4 healthy days in the whole past month. And the worst days were Christmas day and New Year's day. Life is grey.

It's never fun getting sick, but especially not if it spans the whole holiday season, with back to back virus infections (first parainfluenza and then RSV), and while 6-month pregnant 🥲
I hope you all are beating this New Year's baseline at least.
Happy New Year!

Aww so many familiar faces! Couldn't be at NeurIPS this year sadly, but our conference-ly lunches and meetups continue!
A momentary IRL convergence at lunch before MLC diffuses once again to the remotest geographies. Lovely to see all you badass researchers ❤️

Currently (or maybe have always been) in a mental state where an incoming email with title "Appreciation for Your..." paralyzes me and gives me fear.
I keep thinking about this comic someone once sent to me:

C++ code coverage reports are now available in Doxide v0.8.0! This was quite a journey, improving the test suite for a machine learning library that makes heavy use of templates and catching a few bugs. I hope others can find it useful too! #cplusplus #cpp #SoftwareEngineering #OpenSource

On no-agenda weekends, which is what I thought I'd want, I usually get little done and feel anxious by the end of it. This Sunday I have a 2h Town Hall meeting, a party to host, and guests to receive from out of town. I ended up doing way more than what's required. And felt good.
