Some great invited talks
@isbellHFh's #NeurIPS2020 keynote is seriously so good. It's incredibly funny, thoughful and so important to ML as whole. Go watch it right now, you won't regret it! 👏👏👏

From the affinity workshops
Very interesting and relevant talk by @MihaelaVDS on "Interpretable AutoML: Powering the machine learning revolution in healthcare in the era of Covid-19 and beyond", and the importance (and challenges) of extracting actionable insights from medical data #WiML2020 #NeurIPS2020 pic.twitter.com/q5wVG9f2Ae

Loved Brazilian physicist Sonia Guimarães's "My Journey, Advocacy Work to Improve Brazilian Scientists Diversity" at Black in AI workshop #NeurIPS2020 where she shared her experience of sexism & racism in her life and how she's helping next generation overcome these issues.

Wow! I am absolutely blown away by @sambarhino’s chat at the @black_in_ai Workshop at Neurips! I didn’t even think about where machine learning could’ve come from and the historical embedding of oppression within the math. Mind officially stretched!🔥👏🏾

“Take risks. If you aren’t failing a lot, it means you aren’t taking enough risks.”
Thank you Dr. Samy Bengio for sharing your research journey @NewInML, #NeurIPS2020. Found it very inspiring. This slide neatly sums up all key points from the talk. 👇 pic.twitter.com/mAAQJscth3

A number of tutorials took place on Monday
Probably one of the clearest tutorials on integration methods in the ML context and dynamical GPs I've ever seen. A lot of connections were made. And @mpd37 lecture slides never disappoints! #NeurIPS2020 pic.twitter.com/aDUr2bN1Wb

I must admit: going from poster to poster in Gather Town and "pressing x to interact" is more fun than I had thought….. #NeurIPS2020
