    I gave my dissertation talk last month! 🥳 Thanks to my advisor Tom (@cocosci_lab), my committee, and the communities at Berkeley, Princeton, and beyond for fun and support along the way ❤️
    Erin Grant gives her dissertation talk, titled "Computational investigations into human and machine intelligence," at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.

    Postponing the #NeurIPS2020 deadline is up to the PCs, but our community at large can still take action to help. If you intend to send your work to @NeurIPSConf & are #BlackInSTEM, I can try to help in the final period before the deadline (mock review; copy-edit)--DM me or email.

    3/ I fear that if we don't do so, our coming NIPS will be much less diverse, dominated by authors who have been least affected by the disruptions. One way we can support those in need, possibly with the smallest affect on the tight NIPS timeline, would be to offer extensions…

    #ICML2021, @thirdreviewer: Inductive biases do not affect generalization behavior, only data does ie. all models are the same. Reject w/ max confidence.

    Reviewing is an essential community service that requires community support to be sustainable. At the meta-learning workshop (meta-learn.github.io/2020), we're running a pilot program where experienced reviewers will provide respectful & actionable feedback to new reviewers.

    I support pathways to research in AI for young people. However, to echo others: I think the likely outcome of this no-feedback high school submission track will be to give participation prizes for well-resourced high school students. To add on:

    Though we've heard many stories (visa refusals, long wait times), we don't yet have data on how many attendees face difficulties attending @NeurIPSConf in person. Please help us advocate for reducing barriers to participation by filling out our survey: ➡️
