Human insight remains essential to beat the bias of algorithms
Better data can improve AI’s ability to spot correlations but will not ensure fairness - via Financial Times:

Really good to see alternatives to travel being considered for research interactions.
Elizabeth Adams@researchdreams
Someone in the room has conducted a PhD viva by writing. I wouldn't have thought that would ever happen. Room for fresh thinking on all sorts of travel!

Good to see that NeurIPS is placing a stronger focus on ethics in AI.
Andrew Ng@AndrewYNg
Sweet because: These are signs that NeurIPS is maturing. @_KarenHao wrote an article about the community growing up: technologyreview.com/s/614935/ai-co… We’re getting better at diversity/inclusion and taking responsibility for our actions, though there’s still room to grow.

Enjoyed the "Postdocs to Innovators" event in Cambridge last week, organised by @p2i_network. A good way to learn about business models and the different types of funding available for commercialising research.

Some highlights from the @visNET_ Collaboration Event!
College of Science & Engineering, UofG@UofGSciEng
We recently attended the @visNET_ collaboration event and met some of Scotland's most talented post-doctoral researchers as they networked. #STEM #WomenInSTEM #networking #collaboration #collaborativescience Watch vid with subtitles here: youtube.com/watch?v=fs0280…

Looking forward to next week's collaboration event.

@CarolWebsterCS is interested in using convolutional neural networks to classify images, particularly from medical devices. At the moment she is using them to determine whether microscope images are in/out of focus. Join Carol at our #collaboration Event gla.ac.uk/colleges/scien…

Over the last few weeks I've been reading The Batch, a new newsletter from @deeplearningai_. Lots of interesting articles, including one this week on the relative popularity of PyTorch and TensorFlow in research/industry.
DeepLearning.AI@DeepLearningAI
In this week's Batch, we've got TensorFlow vs. PyTorch, autonomous drone races, and NLP for rare languages. Read this week's issue: hubs.ly/H0lh-pN0

Today is #AdaLovelaceDay, which celebrates the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths. Follow our thread to uncover the stories of some of the most influential women in British science history...
English
Just been to a great talk for #AdaLovelaceDay19 by Sharon Moore, IBM's CTO for Public Sector UK. She offered the following words of wisdom: "Courage, not confidence!" We may not always feel confident, but if we have the courage to try something new we will make progress.

Better understanding diversity and inclusion in AI is just one aspect of ensuring we're building a technology that works for everyone, but it's a crucial part.
Proud to support a @PartnershipAI fellowship to further research and promote diversity and inclusion in the field.
Partnership on AI@PartnershipAI
The #AI field continues to suffer from a severe lack of ethnic, gender, & cultural diversity. To explore these pervasive challenges, @DeepMindAI today gifted £250K to the Partnership on AI to support the establishment of a fellowship focused on this task: partnershiponai.org/why-were-creat…

Busy week learning Java and C# from the excellent books Think Java and Think Sharp. 6 days of Java followed by 1 day of C#. Phew!
