Wish I could hear discussions with Google mentors at WiML mentoring round tables later today, particularly table 14 with Jeff Dean #ISupportTimnit

Looking forward to hosting the research roundtable on 'Graph-based and combinatorial machine learning' (Table #23)! w/ Jennifer Neville #Neurips2020

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 15th Women in Machine Learning ( #WiM2020 ) Virtual Workshop on Wednesday, December 9th.

👏Congratulations to Dr. Mahak Goindani for her successful PhD defense today on “Social Reinforcement Learning”! I can't believe she's already the third student from my lab to do a virtual defense during this pandemic and she won't be the last.

This didn’t make me feel as hopeful as I think it was supposed to, but happy to learn about Lynn Conway and add her to my list of female role models in CS.

Congratulations to Dr. Changping (Jason) Meng for his successful PhD defense today on “Scalable Representation Learning with Invariances” (coadvised with Bruno Ribeiro). Hope Purdue will have a graduation in the summer so we can celebrate with him in person!

Research news: Want to boost the expresiness of your favorite GNN architecture? Collective learning can help: a hybrid GNN representation with Hang & Jennifer Neville arxiv.org/abs/2003.12169

GCNs (@thomaskipf, Max Welling ) benefit the most (up to +15% in accuracy)!

Excited to have finally started my (remote) sabbatical at Microsoft Research working with Paul Bennett in MSR AI. Looking forward to putting practice into research and vice versa!

Congratulations to Dr. Gui Gomes for his successful PhD defense today: Hypothesis Testing and Community Detection on Networks with Missingness and Block Structure (phd #13 from my lab)

There should be AI umbrellas that use sensors to adjust to (1) height of other pedestrians to avoid poking, and (2) coordinate with other umbrellas on busy sidewalk to provide maximum rain coverage while avoiding collision with each other and street signs. #businesstipoftheday

Last night I had a vivid dream about a recent experiment but woke up before we had results for the last condition. So I tried to go back to sleep to discover how I thought it would turn out. #dreamingscience

Power flashed due to storm yesterday. Going to sleep later, called out to Alexa to turn off bedside lamps. Didn’t work. Opened iPad to use Hue app. Didn’t work. Laid there for a while, tired, wondering what to do... Then went old school... rolled over & turned off with our hands!

Note to self: Teach son to braid hair now so when he grows his hair out when he’s older, he doesn’t have to ask his wife to do it for him.
