Poster sessions are happening today! 11:40-1:20 and 5:00-5:30 today in room 208-210. Come chat transfer learning for Gaussian processes and Bayesian optimisation 🌸
Excited to be in 🎊New Orleans🎊 this week for #NeurIPS2023! Ping me to chat Bayesian optimisation, transfer learning or ML and climate. Or if you know any good runs nearby! And if you're interested in the above topics you should stop by our poster on Saturday!

🚨New TACL paper 🚨 Can we use explicit latent variable alignment for cross-lingual transfer? Minotaur uses optimal transport for explicit alignment across languages. w/ @tomhosking, Mirella Lapata. 
To be presented @emnlpmeeting @mrl2023 in-person 🇸🇬 doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00611

Excited for the poster session this afternoon at @automl_conf! I'll be talking about hyperparameter optimisation for increasing data set sizes and learning between tasks. Work with Huibin Shen, @FrancoisAubet, David Salinas and @kleiaaro #AutoML23
Finding yourself repeatedly training your ML model because you’ve collected more data? Not sure what to do with the hyperparameters? We investigated for you! Check out the paper arxiv.org/abs/2306.16916 with the wonderful Huibin Shen, @FrancoisAubet, David Salinas and @kleiaaro

I'm really happy to share the news that Meta-Calibration has been accepted to TMLR! Meta-Calibration uses meta-learning as a new way to optimise for uncertainty calibration of neural networks. I've had a very positive experience with TMLR and certainly recommend submitting there!

Life update: I have passed my PhD defense (@alexandrabirch1 and @licwu were excellent examiners), and moved to New York City! Many thanks to everyone who made the PhD experience so fun, especially my CDT cohort, collaborators, and supervisor @driainmurray

Interested in what could be the long-term implications of deploying too many AI systems that are not fair? You can learn more in our paper - we've updated it on arXiv with the version that will appear soon in the proceedings of the Stanford Existential Risk Conference!

📢✨ New journal publication alert! ✨📢 @OBohdal, @tmh31 , Phil @OxfordTVG , and I @FazlBarez have dissected a crucial issue: lack of #AIFairness. Our analysis reveals how unfair AI can fuel social stress and unrest over time. 🧵 Here are the main insights: [1/4]

6. Differentiable Tree Operations Promote Compositional Generalization Really interesting program induction work! Need to look into it more to digest the details but I always like stuff that tries to respect tree structure
