I hope AI ethics teams are following this topic. I can’t help think that if I had had to follow strict admission rules, I would never have got into university. What happens to the outliers? Are models dealing with the complex diversity of minds? https://t.co/PMa7xfmvSR

The speed at which the cost for university level education in the US has been rising since 1980 is nothing but obscene. Broken system in desperate need of a reboot I'd argue. Source: https://t.co/scrQRbIFaG pic.twitter.com/S4OcZshjR5

This is nice! I didn't know about this autograd refresh via the new functional API. So, among other things, you can now compute partial derivatives / gradients from Python function as opposed to Python variables. Beyond the performance improvements, good for code organization. https://t.co/EgUv03ZeiZ pic.twitter.com/cIRk0D7puk

Statistical terms: what they really mean

Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated

NEW:

Cases & hospital admissions in Israel are falling steeply among vaccinated age groups, in the first clear sign worldwide that Covid-19 jabs are preventing illness 💉🎉

Rates are falling much more slowly (if at all) among under-vaccinated groups.https://t.co/csREaYnqYW pic.twitter.com/MQIaHAc2QB

It isn’t cheap to build the systems that show you what’s coming at you.

But failing to build them? That’s far more expensive.
