Thanks to all the #kdd2022 participants and organization committee members. It was great hosting the conference with Prof. Aidong Zhang and seeing so many old and new friends back in person in DC.

#KDD2022 is only two days away. Cannot wait to see everyone in person since we met last time in Alaska 3 years ago. Don’t miss our @HealthDs workshop on Sunday and #HealthDay on Monday. We have stellar lineups of speakers. @kdd_news

@profnaren @FollowStevens Congratulations @nikhilm_1 & the proud advisors

Dr. Muralidhar will join @FollowStevens as a TT assistant professor in the fall and will continue his research in science-guided machine learning. Congrats Nikhil and stay in touch!

Congratulations to @nikhilm_1 on a successful PhD defense of his work on using domain knowledge for ML under data paucity and noise! Thanks to a very supportive committee of @anujkarpatne (co-advisor), @StefanoErmon, Chang-Tien Lu, & Danesh Tafti, from 3 time zones!

@feiwang03 Congratulations @feiwang03

Finally, officially tenured…

@anshulkundaje @zahoor_zaf interested in learning about your experience (DM me if interested) I am hiring for a team at AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab #mlsl and we are looking for inter-disciplinary scientists who excel in machine learning and other domains: amazon.jobs/en/jobs/185486…

He has my strongest support & recommendation. Please get in touch with him (or me), if u have an industry position that might be a good fit. Please RT. 4/4

An awesome ML/deep learning engineer in my lab @zahoor_zaf is looking to move back into industry. Zahoor has worked with us for the past 3 years & really solidified our deep learning implementations. 1/

@teorionda Hopefully the plan is still to see you in Washington, D.C. for #kdd2022

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." We had a plan, and #KDD2022 reviewers punched us in the mouth (strong rejects), and they are right. We got informative reviews, and will improve. I'm thankful the (stochastic, biased) review process works. #professorlife

You know how excited @daniela_witten gets about SVD? I have about the same thing with kernels. Except that I'm not sure I explain them as well as she does SVD. Still, you're getting a thread on kernels!

@WomenInStat @jeanphi_vert @julienmairal Thank you for this thread @WomenInStat. It brought back my PhD memories around 2005 where I was working with protein sequences and string kernels were a thing :) academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Now if you really want to get into kernel methods in machine learning, @jeanphi_vert and @julienmairal got you covered with an entire course on the topic: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Please join us to celebrate Allie and remind our leaders that all kids deserve safe streets throughout the District.

With Thanksgiving upon us, I keep thinking how thankful I am to be Allie’s mom & to have had 5 amazing years with her. I wish we had so many more. I’m also thankful for the support we’ve received as we grieve & as we fight for safe streets. A long 🧵I hope you’ll read.
