Thrilled and honored to be a part of this year's cohort of Sloan Fellows.
Deep gratitude to my collaborators and students without whom the work I'm part of would be impossible, and to my mentors and my family for their unwavering support. 🙏🏽

@ccanonne_ I hear AdaBoost is the best off-the-shelf classifier in the world

This is an interesting new paper on the topic of feature learning. They show that several aspects of feature learning in neural nets can be reproduced in a simpler kernel-based model dubbed a “Recursive Feature Machine” (RFM) arxiv.org/abs/2212.13881

TheoretiCS has launched its first issue! theoretics.episciences.org/volume/view/id…
TheoretiCS is a new, peer-reviewed Diamond Open Access electronic journal covering all areas of Theoretical Computer Science. Looking forward to seeing how the journal develops.

One of my pet peeves is this thing in US culture which urges people to come up with a "cool" story of their life, starting from a poor miserable state, shining into a successful career. It pushes people to come up with bipolar exaggerated narrative of their life ....

The Twitter war against Mastodon in general continues. Various links to Mastodon sites are now being marked as potentially unsafe.
I was going to post a link to the discussion, but Twitter won't let me. So I've charted it so you can see it:

🧵New paper w Nicholas Carlini & @florian_tramer: "Considerations for Differentially Private Learning with Large-Scale Public Pretraining."
We critique the increasingly popular use of large-scale public pretraining in private ML.
Comments welcome.

@gabrielpeyre @adad8m Try the 4-dim discrete hypercube {-1,1}^4 with p=4. I think you are basically looking for lp metrics that are not negative type.

@thegautamkamath @_kunal_talwar_ Yeah, email by shell script is only acceptable for recruiting PC members

@_kunal_talwar_ If someone's using a shell script to contact potential supervisors, I think they're doing something wrong...

Today, I received 18 consecutive identical emails from the same prospective student, over a span of 10 minutes. How does this even happen?
Gautam Kamath@thegautamkamath
Received one email today which embeds a tracking service to see if I read the email (Thunderbird blocks remote content, so "no") and clicked the links (I noticed this and didn't). I can't think of a worse first impression for a prospective supervisor. Don't do this.

@Adam235711 @boydgraber @thegautamkamath @CSrankings But they don't list affiliates on the that website anyway... best to stick to Sariel's cs_ranking sarielhp.org/cgi-bin/cs_ran…
English
@djhsu @boydgraber @thegautamkamath @CSrankings So if the CS department wants to boost their ranking on this particular website.. you all should add about 50 more affiliates :)
English
I think @CSrankings is a helpful resource. I don't care about the "rankings". But I like that it's a single place to find a *list* of people active in a research area.
If you're a faculty in CS, you should make sure you're listed there.

@djhsu @boydgraber @thegautamkamath @CSrankings @djhsu Woah! Can affiliates advise CS PhD students? I'm wondering if IEOR has affiliates now and I never knew...

Fascinating conversation here. And it leaves us with a rephrasing of the question @ducha_aiki was asking: "Why do ML models trained to predict discrete labels work so much better than those trained to predict real-valued labels?"
Thoughts?

I know everyone has left for Mastodon, but this tweet has inspired an interesting conversation on ML Twitter. It left me asking: What does “regression” mean to you in the context of machine learning? twitter.com/ducha_aiki/sta…
