I'm very excited to share our perspective on Network Fairness, where we challenge the concept of social capital & propose its inclusion in measuring fairness & other moral goals. Also, very much looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones in Budapest!
20 Nov 2024
Next up in the @AnetiLabs Seminar Series Lisette Espín-Noboa @lespin from @CSHVienna will discuss Network Fairness: Balancing effort, merit and social capital. Date: Nov 28 (thursday), 2pm CET Details and subscription: anetilab.org/seminars/

Having limited data to build a neural predictive model? Try Bayes, and you can get the uncertainty of the derived neuronal preference. See our work on #PLOSCompBio: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi…. Thank you so much for the great team!! Nan Wu @IValeraM @sinzlab @alxecker @teulerlab

even more impressive if you look at the stats more closely: 20 over 67 (almost 1/3!) oral presentations at @NeurIPSConf are coming from @ELLISforEurope members! and getting an oral is extremely hard (top 0.6% of al papers at #NeurIPS2023!)
14 Dec 2023
It’s an impressive list of outstanding research: Of all #NeurIPS2023 contributions, around 470 come from members of the ELLIS network! Check out this page to get the full overview: ellis.eu/websites/european-l…

Thanks to everyone who attended my oral! ❤️ Yesterday, my slides had a nostalgic sepia hue (remember to disable night color, folks 😂). If you want to check the white-version instead, you can now get them here: adrianjav.github.io/uploads/…

What's the best bias/variance tradeoff for your training tasks when you're metalearning? Find out on Saturday at the poster session, 11am-12pm, at the Mathematics of Modern Machine Learning workshop #NeurIPS2023 @lzy_michael, @DimitriMeunier1, Samory Kpotufe
At #NeurIPS2023 this week. We @DimitriMeunier1 @ArthurGretton and Samory Kpotufe will present our theoretical analysis for nonlinear meta-learning, see below. Also, I am on academic job market this year(zhuli-michael.github.io/). Let's chat if your department is hiring.
