At #SIAMMPE24, David Rolnick of McGill University and Mila - Institut québécois d'IA is discussing how problem-centered design can lead to innovative and impactful #MachineLearning algorithms to address #ClimateChange.

True story! So many images of fish in ImageNet-1k are just of dead fish held by the people who killed them 🫠 To learn more, check out our "Bugs in the Data" paper, which I wrote with my friend David Rolnick 🦋

Hi Compass Lexecon, no I do not want to be an expert witness in defending an oil and gas company from damages related to climate change. In fact, I think that quite a lot of people won't be interested in working with you. Think about what side of history you want to be on.

I'm so tired of this sales pitch: "AI is using a lot of energy but it's also helping the climate". The AI that helps the climate is generally very different from the AI that uses a lot of energy (e.g. LLMs like ChatGPT). We can have the former without the latter.

We have an ML engineering internship available in my group at Mila - Institut québécois d'IA for our work on monitoring insect biodiversity! Details here: community.climatechange.ai/c/internships/…
