I’ll be giving a talk at University of Toronto to engineering science students next Monday (Dec10) about how I got into the machine learning research field. If you are at @UofT / @VectorInst and want to meet up near downtown campus, feel free to reach out! engsci.utoronto.ca/event/david-ha…

Just finished reading an writing a summary for my Machine Learning study group of @jjvie and Hisashi Kashima's paper on Factorization Machines for Knowledge Tracing. Really interseting work that I'm excited to share! You can check out the paper here: arxiv.org/pdf/1811.03388…

@SussilloDavid Do you have any advice for a beginner with an interest in doing research?

So pretty much my early research career (just under 15 years) is littered with abandoned ideas and outright failures. For those in a similar boat, hopefully this is a helpful calibration. /End

Scientific research inherently involves risk and many ideas just don't pan out. I have the idea that many new researchers place pretty high expectations on themselves, so I thought it would be educational (and fun!) to go back and tally my early career failures/successes.

@betanalpha Sorry if this is a beginner question, but by this do you mean when a group on a paper make a decision seemingly at random, and it happens to improve performance so they keep it?

@andrewchen Dwarf fortress. It’s considered to be one of the most interesting and complex procedurally generated games of all time. Programmed by one guy and his brother, living off of patron donations.

When I entered VC, I thought founders would want my help with: - algorithms - sw architecture - advice on leveraging data 😂 Here's what they usually want: - recruiting help - best practices/"what've you seen in this situation?" - someone who believes in them - emotional support

@fchollet A lot of polls are done through Robo callers too. I feel like that alone causes a significant bias in the data by filtering out anyone who doesn’t want to listen to a robot tell them to press numbers on a phone.

I don't understand why opinion polls these days are conducted via landline calls, and not, like, fax or something

@hugo_larochelle If I don’t have a degree in CS but would like to apply, what sorts of things do you think someone like myself could include to impress applicant reviewers?

@devonzuegel I had a desktop in college, but due to the dorm room download limits I used to use my laptop at the library to download things and then transfer them back to my desktop 😂

Hard to imagine that I actually considered getting a desktop computer rather than a laptop when I first went off to college 🖥️💻

Finally listening to Based on a True Story by @normmacdonald. This book is a real knee slapper! "... I had taken to hanging around Sarah’s apartment, hiding in the bushes day and night, watching her come and go, and I had never seen any signs of a stalker.” 🤣
