We haven’t talked much about the intersection of AI&ML and AR/VR on the podcast before, but we changed that in this interview with @ftasse! We dig into Computer vision in AR, her work at @streem_pro, and much more! buff.ly/2W6LF93

The denial of visas for people to attend scientific conferences inhibits the free flow of ideas that is essential for scientific progress. I wish visas weren't such a hindrance, especially for those from underrepresented countries in the field of ML. We need everyone's voice!
This never ends. This year, so far, 15 out of 44 people to attend @black_in_ai workshop at @NeurIPSConf (which is still in Canada) have been denied visas. That's 33%. We had all this press last year, they were supposed to help us this year.
