Tonight, one of my TAs, who is graduating from our dept’s PhD program, will be invigilating for the last time at SFU. Before the test, I asked all students to join me in giving her a warm round of applause. Hope this surprise will be a cherished memory of her university life :)

As machine learning has almost become an art of giving different names to the same thing in past decade, just want to remind everyone what Henry Poincaré said: Mathematics is the art of giving different things the same name. For young students interested in AI: Learn more math!
Mor Harchol-Balter (CMU) has a very nice new book: Introduction to Probability for Computing. Free PDF on the website: cs.cmu.edu/~harchol/Proba…. As opposed to some other (excellent) books in this space, this book focuses on reaching an *undergrad* audience. Check it out!

I joined the POG this term to enhance my teaching skills. Today, it’s my turn to attend a class taught by a senior prof in Phys Dept. I’ve not only learned insights into effective teaching but also delved into fascinating topics in quantum physics. 🤩 Learning is so much fun!😄😄
🎉 We're still buzzing from the news! 🍁 For the 15th time in 16 years, Simon Fraser University has been crowned the #1 Comprehensive University in Canada by Maclean's University Rankings. We couldn't be more proud of our vibrant community of students, faculty and staff. 🏆

Like this analogy comparing point estimates to confidence intervals: using only a point estimate to estimate a parameter is like fishing in a murky lake with a spear, and using confidence interval is like fishing with a net. 😄 #Statistics #inference #confidence
This is indeed a challenging time😹

One of my favorite things about teaching grad electives + topics classes is getting to watch my students give their class project presentations at the end of the semester! Below are the projects that the students in my grad stochastic processes class this semester are presenting!

Sam Altman is back as CEO of OpenAI. But who’s Ilya Sutskever, the man who masterminded a boardroom coup against him? Here’s the unlikely story of a brilliant scientist who plunged the world’s hottest startup into chaos 👇👇 1/ Born in Soviet Russia, he moved to Israel at the…
@jspujji Sutskever was the genius behind OpenAI, and in hindsight he will be recognized as the one who tried to slow down the AI revolution and make it more cautious and responsible with proper oversight. The new Board is filled with investors and corporations. We should be concerned.
@ilyasut You are truly a clown or a gem. I know you just want things to be right You are a legend, thank you for living life with such a high moral compass
@ilyasut Ilya, you are an awesome scientist. Stick to that. The corporate governance/politics realm is not your bag. Be who you are. As far as risks, it's all going to work out fine. Just trust it.
There exists no sentence in any language that conveys how happy I am:
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
