Had my own fan-boy moment bumping into the Godfather of AI himself @NeurIPSConf Was star-struck & stuck trying to introduce myself before I could even get to explaining my research But hey @ylecun if you find time, do visit my Spotlight and Oral papers :) x.com/_toolazyto_/st…

Godfather 2, this time with a flavour of NLP @iclr_conf @chrmanning was gracious enough to not refuse my offer of a selfie :) Each conference I'm amazed at how humble my idols are 🫡 At the rate I run into celebrities, I should probably walk around LA next time 🤝 #ICLR2024

Fanboy moment 2.0, the ever so humble & ever so cheerful @zacharylipton patiently explaining why true trustworthy ML is not like a condiment 🍝 I hope someday someone takes a similar photo with me @NeurIPSConf, with me on the other side of the equation :) #NeurIPS2023 #NeurIPS23

Asking for help is so underrated. It's looked down upon for no particular reason. It works wonders to be "shameless" sometimes. Just ask. You'll be surprised to find how many beautiful knowledgeable people are always eager to help! I try my best to be one of them :)

Got dehydrated & famished, but in the end, Day 1 of Workshops was all worth it, so many amazing folks doing such amazing work! Talked fairness or/& distribution shifts across 2 unnecessarily distanced rooms. @NeurIPSConf please keep similar workshops close by next time, thanks :)
