Affinity groups

Queer in AI at #ICML2021 kicked off with a ? fantastic ? talk by @sarameghanbeery! After retiring from her career as a professional ballerina at 22, she studied electrical engineering with the intent to use it for social good, and now works on Computer Vision for ecology!

If you are getting your latest fix of all things ML at #ICML2021 this week, join us for a fun Social later 5pm UK (noon EST | 7pm CET). We are having a debate ??‍⚖️. Will be light-hearted, but I'm sure will cover a lot. There's also a vote! See you later ? . https://t.co/dNxzCpITWI pic.twitter.com/J39sGUwDHT

Papers and posters

If you are working on meta-RL, you should use DREAM. It’s simple & ~quadratically more efficient than end-to-end training.

Real-world data can contain a lot of correlations but what does this mean for disentanglement learning? Happy to share that our paper “On Disentangled Representations Learned From Correlated Data” is ready for #ICML2021!

Subtitling

Shout out to all the #ICML2021 presenters that went through the effort of meticulously updating all subtitles. I too enjoy Bayesian learning over Beyonce learning.

It's a lot of fun watching the automated transcription of these @icmlconf talks. My favorite one: "Mushroom learning community"
