Interested in watching the mean paper review scores rise while reviewers ignore your rebuttals for NeurIPS Dataset and Benchmarks? Check out this colab which connects to OpenReview's API: github.com/ikiskin/OpenAP… Highlights: Mean before rebuttal: 5.5 Mean after rebuttals: 5.8

Lovely to have all these new followers .. can we just check that you know that you’re following The World Wide Robin Hood Society in Nottingham and not the Robin Hood App .. if so .. a big welcome from Sherwood 🙌

New work on applying HMC to BNNs! Our symmetric splitting approach preserves the entire Hamiltonian and can be run on a single GPU. All the code is in hamiltorch :) Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2010.06772… Blog post: adamcobb.github.io/journal/bnn.ht… Work with @BJalaian!

Looking forward to the ICML Uncertainty and Robustness in Deep Learning Workshop. @mpvadera and I will be available at the poster session to discuss our benchmarking toolbox "URSA". This is work with @BJalaian and Ben Marlin (UMass). arxiv.org/abs/2007.04466

We have two functions f and g. For any ε>0, some δ>0 satisfies ||g(x) - g(y)|| < δ => ||f(x) - f(y)|| < ε. Does this property have a name? d(x, y) := ||g(x)-g(y)|| is a pseudometric. Is "f is continuous wrt this pseudometric" the best way to say this? (NB g may not be invertible)

Have updated website to include recent work. Includes NeurIPS BDL workshop paper on HMC and Robin's (Bin Xin Ru) ICLR paper on BayesOpt. #bdl2019 #ICLR2020 adamcobb.github.io/menu/academic

In ML, it's often simultaneously the case that (1) the announcement of a research result is accurate, informative, and measured, and (2) most of the excitement is from people misinterpreting the result as more profound than it really is.

Only at a math conference do you hear phrases like, "In a randomly mating population..."

Today’s realities: 1. Non-neural net code written more than 5 years ago works just fine 2. Neural net code written a year ago on TensorFlow doesn’t work anymore
