After a long and winding road, our work on uncertainty estimation for online regression forests is now published in @JmlrOrg ! Big thanks to my co-authors @gdfm7 and Henrik for sticking through and getting this over the finish line! jmlr.org/papers/v20/19-…

Excited to be speaking at the Stanford Graph Learning workshop about GNNs for Spotify RecSys applications! The event is great with lots of interesting talks! Livestream here: youtu.be/GYW286H3SKw

A summer endeavor, developing MLC: the first open lecture series on ML compilation. Machine learning compilation is an emerging field for systematic optimization and deployment of AI workloads. Hope to share adventures and fun with the community mlc.ai/summer22/ 🚀

@JmlrOrg the website seems to be down?

@stsffap @VervericaData @ApacheFlink Best of luck in your next steps Till, it was a great privilege to work with you!

Today is my last day @VervericaData. It was a great journey with a lot of fun and getting to know many amazing people. I was lucky to work on @ApacheFlink + be part of its awesome community. I’ve learned so much thanks to each and everyone of you! Now, I try something new.

Me on my way to a conference

I'm starting a series of blog posts on "optimization nuggets": short and beautiful proofs in optimization (let me know what you think!). First one shows that SGD converges exponentially fast to a neighborhood of the solution: fa.bianp.net/blog/2021/expo…

This is a very well-written intro to the topic of automated reasoning, and glad to see the techniques making their way onto real products. Logic geeks will be happy to see this :)

Whoever made this is my new favorite person.

@hspter Well the good news is that with the new infra bill, DOT will need to investigate their implications on safety (see Better headlights, less-threatening trucks section): arstechnica.com/cars/2021/11/h…

I just spent some time in semi-rural Indiana.. Not sure if I'm just more aware of car sizes now, but the pickup trucks out there are HUGE. Why is this even legal? Feels recent that they've exploded in size.

Excited to announce that we've finally released @XGBoostProject v1.0.0! This cannot happen without contributions from over 390 contributors and the support from the community. Thank you! #MachineLearning Release notes: bit.ly/2P7MWsY GitHub repo: bit.ly/2wzcRDl

Graph neural networks are driving lots of progress in machine learning by extending deep learning approaches to complex graph data and applications. Let’s take a look at a few methods ↓

What if I told you that fine-tuning T5-Large (0.8B params) on a couple hundred examples could outperform GPT-3 (175B params) on a bunch of tasks?

I am excited to share my latest work: 8-bit optimizers – a replacement for regular optimizers. Faster 🚀, 75% less memory 🪶, same performance📈, no hyperparam tuning needed 🔢. 🧵/n Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2110.02861 Library: github.com/facebookresear… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=IxrlHA…
