One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

Great intro to PAC-Bayes bounds. Highly recommended!
I already advertised for this document when I posted it on arXiv, and later when it was published.
This week, with the agreement of the publisher, I uploaded the published version on arXiv.
Less typos, more references and additional sections including PAC-Bayes Bernstein.

On vacation in Jingdezhen, the capital of Chinese porcelain. Surprised to see a traditional construction of a residential house still in action today in 2024: 100% in wood, from the pillars to the roof slope, no nails, cement or bricks. That’s the art of construction!
