Michael Jordan gave a short, excellent, and provocative talk recently in Paris - here's a few key ideas - It's all just machine learning (ML) - the AI moniker is hype - The late Dave Rumelhart should've received a Nobel prize for his early ideas on making backprop work 1/n

My book is (at last) out, just in time for Christmas! A blog post to celebrate and present it: francisbach.com/my-book-is-out/

@probnstat Unbiased estimator based on degrees of freedom.

Reason for using 'n-1' in the denominator instead of 'n' for sample variance 👇

@probnstat Generate a 3 dimension vector X at random. X/norm(X) gives a point on the unit sphere.

How can we sample an observation from a uniform distribution on a 3-dimensional sphere?

Decided to upload the 8hour Quant Lectures (QT101) to YT. First videos in channel. For those who have been a benefactor of my content, I would be forever grateful if you liked/subscribed and sang some praises so I can get some clout on there🔥🔥🔥 youtube.com/watch?v=A2lyrA…

Reply with a movie shot that looks like a painting. I'll start:

Legalizing corruption is not the same as eradicating black money. It is just white washing dirty laundry!!

This precedent by Modi is so lethal that if by any chance an opposition comes to power, it is going to be nasty for India. Not the INC never did this but Modi govt has taken it to new heights. I shudder to think of INC coming back to power.

@Saiarav Isnt that true whether left, right or centre. May be something to do with Cinema being a vital part of an Indian life.

@naman_it She is arrogant enough to equate her hunger (by choice) to hunger of another individual (may not be by choice). Methodologies only got wrong after 2014 it seems, before that these idiots would quote these indices for politics.

@KSSeshKumar Minister is saying index is wrong (probably due to wrong methodology), you are also saying "may be pak is worse" while as per index pak is better. Where is the disconnect ?

Ignorance at best and arrogance at worst. This is India's minister responsible for Women and Child Development. Pakistan may be worse than us but that is not the curtain we can afford to hide behind!!

I am happy to share that I have received the Inria - Académie des Sciences young researcher award. A great thanks to all my coauthors, students, colleagues, former mentors, who have joined me on this journey. I couldn't have asked for a better team !

Very honoured to be included in this year’s #Time100AI list of influential people in AI🎈And more so the humbling messages from so many people ❤️. The work on directing AI to social purpose remains, and the ownership and inclusion of global communities🌍 time.com/collection/tim…

I agree 100%. Especially during his second term, PM Modi has taken a wrecking ball to India's STEM capabilities. R&D funding is down from 0.9% of GDP during the Vajpayee and UPA eras to just 0.65% of GDP now. The emphasis now is on empty "launches," inaugurations and PR. 1/n

You know Pythagoras theorem? It holds only on a flat surface. On a curved surface -like earth- a right triangle can even have triangles with 3 right angles Can we generalise Pythagoras? Yes, and the generalisation is a beautiful equation relating triangles and circles 🧵 1/6
