What a delightful use of ML! Azumi Maekawa creates robots from found tree branches, takes a 3D scan, trains an improvised gait for the body in sim, and transfers the walker model to the real bot: vimeo.com/236885448 #NeurIPS4Creativity #NeurIPS2018

Last chance to apply for the 2019 Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering workshop, a hands-on summer collaboration among diverse scientists working @ the intersection of biological cognition and machine intelligence: j.mp/neuromorph19

Join us at the AI + Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Response workshop at #neurips2022 Room 398! Keynote from Alexa Koenig, Executive Director of the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley Full schedule at nips.cc/Conferences/20…

The call for proposals for the next neuromorphic workshop is out. The theme is "Embodied Perception & Cognition" – apply now to lead a workgroup & team up with a diverse group of machine learning, neuroscience, biology, NLP, CV, ECE, & robotics scientists x.com/TELNeuromorphs…

PSA for #NIPS2017: there's a destructive wildfire & evacuations just north of us ☹️ A good day to stay indoors (& learn about neural information processing) google.org/publicalerts/a…

There's much to say about #NIPS2017 but the workshop scene is priceless, cf. this photo of Felix, Jay McClelland, & David Hasselhoff preceding a great sideband conversation about language acquisition and the value of dreams

I've shared a transcript of my #wiml2017 opening remarks: Nine things I wish I had known the first time I came to NIPS @wimlworkshop medium.com/@jennwv/nine-t…

Extended call for topic are proposals! The call for topic area proposals is still open (due by January 15, 2018)! Find it here goo.gl/XmNmBB

That Justin Timberlake #filthy video is preposterous! We don't have dancing robots at REAL deep learning conferences... just, uh, orchestras playing "AI composed" music youtu.be/scpx79nCmIs

I made this slide deck about computers getting "near human performance" on the SQUAD dataset some months ago. Worth reading again in light of these recent claims. Everything still holds. u.cs.biu.ac.il/~yogo/squad-vs… x.com/AlibabaGroup/s…

Call open for next round of Tech At Bloomberg Data Science Academic Grants and (new this year!) PhD Fellowships : bloom.bg/DSgrants

Our paper "Deep contextualized word representations" is now on Arxiv. ELMo representations from pre-trained language models set new SOTA for 6 diverse NLP tasks, SQuAD, SNLI, SRL, coref, NER, sentiment. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/1802.05365 Code: allennlp.org/elmo

We are always looking for people that have good problems and need good data scientists. Upload your project idea to our mini-proposal system and we will help find data scientists in our programs to work with you cds.nyu.edu/research/senio…
