Interested in operations research and data science? In Nov we are organising a workshop on data-driven methods in OR, as part of the DDQC-series, at EURANDOM in Eindhoven: see ddqc.io. Registration is open, any questions are of course welcome!
Always nice to be back in Eindhoven, this time for a celebratory occasion. In hindsight, EURANDOM played a very important role in my development as a young researcher. Happy anniversary!
This is spot on! Writing is hard and takes a lot of work for most of us. I know I annoy students with this but it is such an important part of becoming a researcher.

Side note on this: for various reasons we wanted to make the arXiv deadline on Wednesday and were scrambling to do so. I am sorry, but if this is how I felt for a "deadline" we set *for ourselves*, how do people live with the stress of conference deadlines? I would be a wreck.

This is such great advice and something I have always been surprised not being emphasized more, from undergrad to grad school. Ed Witten came and gave a talk when I was in undergrad and it was precisely like Neal describes.

Because I was traveling to Warwick last week, I did not see this great piece of work by @sp_monte_carlo and co until waiting at the airport in Amsterdam. Then got the benefit of having Andi give an in-person summary—people should be reading this! arxiv.org/abs/2402.13678
Reminds me of ’15, when there was a record amount of snow in Boston, and (I think) in Providence as well. I lived just off campus on George St and people were skiing & snowboarding from campus to downtown. That is also when I learned about “snow days”.

@PierreAlquier Thank you Pierre! I am glad you are enjoying it. There are some results and reflections that are not published. And the aim was to be pedagogical :). I will write more about it after I defend the thesis on April 23rd :).
Made it on time for Chang-Han Rhee's talk. Adding truncated heavy-tailed noise to sgd helps!
On my way to the Alan Turing institute in London for a one-month program on heavy tails in machine learning. We do not only need good algorithms for heavy-tailed data but also need to understand how the algorithms sometimes cause heavy-tailed behavior!

@jasondeanlee But then you lose it WITH a diagram! 🤪 hahaha. But I think the habit of representing NNs like that came from both the original neuro motivation, and also because the diagrams were used while writing gradients. Plus without one, it's really hard to grasp the local error stuff.
For some friendly pushback, and there was a comment below as well. You do need diagrams like this if you need to derive backprop manually without losing your marbles. The updates are written using individual neurons, and you will easily lose track without shubhendu-trivedi.org/files/CMSC-DLc…
speculation, but my sense is that compared to a few years ago, people are more sympathetic to the view that these diagrams are not particularly useful / do not particularly emphasise the salient features of the models in question. if accurate, i think that this is probably good.
My recollection is that if one digs down through a few references, one finds that the passage from the left image to the right image is at least partially facilitated by the use of parallel tempering methods to sample more efficiently.
here's M87 supermassive black hole imaged in 2019 vs. imaged in 2023 with the same data and you think your model is slow to converge
