    Had my own fan-boy moment bumping into the Godfather of AI himself @NeurIPSConf Was star-struck & stuck trying to introduce myself before I could even get to explaining my research But hey @ylecun if you find time, do visit my Spotlight and Oral papers :) x.com/_toolazyto_/st…

    Godfather 2, this time with a flavour of NLP @iclr_conf @chrmanning was gracious enough to not refuse my offer of a selfie :) Each conference I'm amazed at how humble my idols are 🫡 At the rate I run into celebrities, I should probably walk around LA next time 🤝 #ICLR2024

    Helo, as the grad school application season is upon us again, and I've (mostly) wrapped up my ICLR replies to the rebuttal to my reviews & Columbia PAR & SoP reviews for my friends, sharing a form here if you want feedback on your application materials: 🫡

    🚨 Fresh #AAAI24 @RealAAAI Paper Alert @GoogleAI @Google Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2310.07535 Code: github.com/google/uafcs It has been observed that algorithms that optimize predictive accuracy that are fed pre-existing biases further learn & then propagate the same biases. (1/12)

    Fanboy moment 2.0, the ever so humble & ever so cheerful @zacharylipton patiently explaining why true trustworthy ML is not like a condiment 🍝 I hope someday someone takes a similar photo with me @NeurIPSConf, with me on the other side of the equation :) #NeurIPS2023 #NeurIPS23

    Got dehydrated & famished, but in the end, Day 1 of Workshops was all worth it, so many amazing folks doing such amazing work! Talked fairness or/& distribution shifts across 2 unnecessarily distanced rooms. @NeurIPSConf please keep similar workshops close by next time, thanks :)
