Definitely consider submitting your work to UAI, it's fantastic conference! And while you're at it, why not submit a shorter version to the AABI workshop track (deadline Feb 7)? 😉

📢PSA: #NeurIPS2024 recordings are now publicly available! The workshops always have tons of interesting things on at once, so the FOMO is real😵‍💫 Luckily it's all recorded, so I've been catching up on what I missed. Thread below with some personal highlights🧵

I made a reverse chronological feed of everyone I follow with reposts and replies removed, so only original posts and quote posts appear. There's a lot less rage bait and I enjoy this feed a lot more than the default Following feed. You can make your own using @graze.social like this.

We uploaded yesterday on arXiv a paper on a variant of the "Mutual Information bound" taylored to analyze statistical estimators (MLE, Bayes and variational Bayes, etc). I assume I should advertise for it after the holidays, but in case you are still online today: arxiv.org/abs/2412.18539

The slides for my lectures on (Bayesian) Active Learning, Information Theory, and Uncertainty are online now 🥳 They cover quite a bit from basic information theory to some recent papers: blackhc.github.io/balitu/ and I'll try to add proper course notes over time 🤗

My group is hiring postdoc(s) and I will be at #NeurIPS2024 if you want to talk - send me a DM or find me on Whova! UK-based, 2 year position. We work on AI/ML for health, specifically building and understanding/explaining deep (multimodal) models on healthcare data, especially medical imaging.

Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn. This paper finds that the rings are no older than 400M years. Sharks date back to at least the Late Ordovician Period, 450M years ago.
