Explanation in terms of computation is typically at the wrong level for intervention because input vector components are not independently manipulable.

Academic autonomy depends on funding budgets and fashions. Sometimes funders are enlightened (cifar.ca/ai/pan-canadia…), more often not.

Me, same reason. Both parents had some vocational school (escola comercial) and pushed us to get better educations.

Rota's "Indiscrete Thoughts" is an all-time favorite that I mention frequently. Including "In Defense of the Schaum Outline Series" that put the Bourbaki followers who taught me in their place ;)

The key challenge is how to compress past-future information with slow growth on history length. The methods I know are either discrete greedy-ish or differentiable but with a bad history length dependency.

When I defended my PhD on #coronavirus #antivirals at the end of 2019
1) I had to go out of my way to explain why coronaviruses were important
2) someone asked if I really thought another coronavirus would emerge
It’s crazy how fast things are changing with #2019nCoV

2001's Transformer: the missing piece was self-attention; everyone was scared of n^2 back then, so all that effort to encode longer-range dependencies in FST states (guilty as charged)

The problem is how recent AI "education" threw out key ideas in structure and representation from probabilistic graphical models. Anybody who knows eg PCFGs and their composition properties with FSTs would not be surprised.

So, @XenaProject, which one of the papers is currently believed? I don't hold with such secrets being kept to the "in crowd".

Google Dataset Search is now officially out of beta.
"Dataset Search has indexed almost 25 million of these datasets, giving you a single place to search for datasets & find links to where the data is."
Nice work, Natasha Noy and everyone else involved!

My 5yo asked, “How big is a wolf?”
So I Google it... Google’s first result is the option (in browser!) to place a realistic wolf in the room with us so we can walk around it and see for ourselves.
Magical. The closest I have felt to a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer. pic.twitter.com/ZPDpAAUCOW
