I was a bit disappointed that there was no chance to ask questions at the #NeurIPS2022 invited talk by Alondra Nelson on the AI Bill of Rights.

I would have liked to hear how the White House expects that a document that (quoting as far as I recall) is not a "binding legal document" will have impact that is in any way comparable to the EU's corresponding regulatory actions (GDPR, AI Act, DSA, DMA, ...) which entail multimillion euro penalties when violated.

I'm new here #Introduction

🔬 I'm a researcher at FiveAI focussing on uncertainty and robustness

🎓 Previously I was a phd student at Oxford Uni under Prof Phil Torr and N. Sid where I worked on multimodal and semi-supervised learning in VAEs

🏫 Cofounder of GirlsWhoML, an access program designed to improve gender diversity in #ai and #machinelearning

Didn’t get to do any #rowing today, but London does look amazing on a foggy morning 🌁

I'd like to migrate to Mastodon the Twitter bots I maintain such as @JmlrOrg and @TmlrSub.

What are good libraries / tutorials / examples for writing a (very simple) Mastodon bot in Python?

Hello world. I'm a research scientist at apple / incoming prof at NYU interested in scaling up multi-agent learning to get it out there into the world, often in the context of transportation systems or autonomous vehicles

@riedelcastro What a save!

Of course you can 🥰

#introduction

Hi, I'm a research scientist at DeepMind studying structured representations and model-based deep RL. Previously, I did my PhD in Psychology at UC Berkeley in which I studied how people use mental simulation. The last few years I've been studying model-based systems like MuZero and trying to understand when they are better than model-free, and what role the model plays. I'm also very interested in structured reprs like programs and graphs and how to incorporate them into RL!

@pfau maybe it’s time to force some kind of centralised community wide discourse…
@pfau It’s kinda hard to tell whether Twitter has been objectively a net positive value add for us, but it probably depends on subjective experience. Plenty of people have used it to become community pillars (with both good and bad effects), and many junior members have occasionally managed to break through due to network effect. On the other end, it has also likely excluded folks who like to work outside mainstream ideas (but not all!). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@pfau to me the big question is whether the AI community can fundamentally work as-is without a platform like Twitter. And if not, either (1) what do we need to do for Mastodon / Sigmoid to improve on the experience and maximise positive impact; or (2) how do we make AI research function at scale without a virtual public forum.
