Looks like a really exciting way to learn more about #NLP with 🤗!

Presenting some new #DeepLearning motor speech research at BostonU, but from Toronto! Ahh, the weird world of virtual conferences...

Check out our recent pub investigating motor and cognitive change over time after transient ischemic attack using #Robotics! nature.com/articles/s4159…

How to write a paper

Amen! We need to tackle this through comprehensive, collective action ASAP nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

It’s well known that neural networks model correlation and not causation. Recently, I’ve found it helpful to think about NN blocks as literal correlations of correlations of correlations … (incl. dense, norm, nonlin, conv, softmax, transformer, LMs, GANs, …) 🧵 1/20

Really interesting intersection of #DeepLearning and #Neuroscience. We still obviously have a very incomplete picture of the complexity of the squishy bits in our heads, but this is still a really neat thought-provoking line of work sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very cute! Except the goal of the robot here is to generalize, whereas the goal of the human here is (most likely) to personalize 😜

Explaining programming to a 6-year-old: 1. You have something you want to do. 2. You write code to do it. 3. The code doesn't work. 4. You fix the mistakes. 5. When the program works, you realize your idea was wrong. 6. You fix the idea. 7. Goto 2.

Me thinking about a programming project in Python on Windows: No problems, everything's fine here Me thinking about a programming project in Swift on MacOS:

Day 1 of learning about coding #iOS apps using #SwiftLang was a success! Of course this is just a publicly available demo 😅 but a start is a start! #congratslikeim5

Frustrating that Ontario pays lip service to "being green", and then proposes projects like this that both encourage low-density transportation in the long term (of people and of goods), and will also produce substantial near-term carbon emissions #onpoli thestar.com/business/2021/…

Happy to be a part of this exciting new initiative at #UHN!

Reminder to my ML colleagues. arXiv.org is not GitHub. Don't submit drafts to arXiv; you are wasting your colleagues' time. Submit when you have a final version ready for the research community to read and cite. Please enforce this rule on your students, too.

First big in-lab data collection day in over 2 years; I forgot how tiring but rewarding it is to gather your own data in a lab setting #research #AcademicTwitter

Super excited to have just been accepted for a Mitacs Elevate award!! This is a really great opportunity and I'm looking forward to it

When you read a job description from a Big Tech company requiring production experience in deep learning and transformers...🙄🙄 I guess they are hoping BERT's authors will apply 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Calling for applications for Carpentries Instructor Training Workshop organized by UofT. An immersive 2-day virtual workshop focusing on the pedagogy of teaching Coding & Data Science skills to novice learners. 🧑‍🏫🧑‍💻 Apply by tomorrow! See more in the link: forms.office.com/pages/response…

The top laptop here has served as my reliable backup since 2015 (got new in 2012) and will now once again step in as a replacement for yet another dead successor (bottom). This thing has filled in for 6 dead laptops of mine and others' over the years. Insane

At long last, weather that is not-bad enough to allow working on the balcony 🌞
