My slides from yesterday's RSS B Read Paper discussion meeting on Probabilistic and Statistical Aspects of Machine Learning - github.com/darrenjw/talks…

arxiv.org/abs/2310.00865 This is a really interesting paper by David Donoho on what has driven the rapid explosion of AI research and how this has been (incorrectly) perceived by the public. Spoiler: The maturity of Data Science has been the driver of this change! 1/4

I'm teaching a new time series course this term, so I've written some new lecture notes. This was my first non-trivial bit of writing using #quarto. Would recommend. Will do again. darrenjw.github.io/time-series/

We mourn the loss of Prof Nick Higham FRS, leading British numerical analyst and former president of SIAM. Our thoughts are with his family and colleagues University of Manchester Department of Mathematics nhigham.com

🎥 Exciting news! Video recordings from the Bayes@CIRM School we organized CIRM in Marseille Calanques 🏖️ are now available! Dive back into inspiring talks by @martacatal, Fabrizia Mealli, Nicolas Chopin & Sylvain Le Corff. 🎥bit.ly/3SrR8Uc 🔗bayesatcirm.github.io/2023/

We're thrilled to announce a £1m grant as part of a new £10m national research hub from Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to develop new mathematical foundations for #AI. This puts us at the forefront of advancing responsible AI: brnw.ch/21wGLBZ

We finally have a paper for Blackjax 🥹 Still the codebase I'm most proud of. arxiv.org/abs/2402.10797

My first YouTube video is now live! ABRACADABRA! The magic of martingales This looks at the time taken for random sequences of events to occur, eg a monkey typing the complete works of Shakespeare, or abracadabra, coin flips to get 2 heads in a row, etc youtu.be/OjcacSB6_EE

“We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis.” academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

Next month on Wednesday November 6 I will be offering my comprehensive hierarchal modeling course at a steep discount in an effort to raise funds for World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders, particularly their ongoing work in Gaza and Lebanon.
