Retweeting a beautiful 1950s piece on speech research in Edinburgh (fixed links). More on the history: blog.nms.ac.uk/2018/05/17/tal… More about BBC's "eye on research": bbc.co.uk/historyofthebb… The program itself (well worth 30 minutes): vimeo.com/39186607
I'm really looking forward to having Slava in Edinburgh. There's an exciting opportunity to join his group as a machine learning PhD student:
Fully-funded #PhD in #ML at @EdinburghUni (@InfAtEd, @ancAtEd), in 𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 and 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Application deadline: 15 Dec '24. Starting Sep '25. Details in the reply. Please RT and share with anyone interested!
Some funding available to support probabilistic AI activity in the UK. For events, public engagement, visits, and 1-year bridging postdocs: probai.uk/funding-1
Big congrats and thank you to the growing group of developers contributing to the SBI (simulation-based inference) package. I think SBI is one of the most compelling examples of AI for Science.
We just released a new version of `sbi`, and this one has _a ton_ of new features! Many of these features are thanks to more than 30 (mostly new) contributors. We are very excited about the growing community and the new release! 🧵 1/8
Five 3-year postdoc positions in probabilistic AI across the UK.
👀We now have 5 x 3yr PDRA positions open to applications. Positions are available across Lancaster, Manchester, Warwick, Bristol & Edinburgh. For more info and to apply➡️ rb.gy/pngnbn
Interested in starting a PhD in Machine Learning? Consider reaching out to Nikolay Malkin who will be joining the School of Informatics @InfAtEd in summer 2024. #phd #ml malkin1729.github.io
Nikolay Malkin, finishing postdoc @Mila_Quebec with #YoshuaBengio and now Prof @EdinburghUni is looking for PhD students 24-25. Certainly one of the brightest minds these days in #ProbabilisticModeling and #MachineLearning. malkin1729.github.io
Given observations of a function with variable+unknown noise, it's hard to know if the function is wiggly or the observations are just noisy. We need multiple observations at some inputs to disambiguate. This paper uses that intuition but goes a lot further. Looks interesting!
New paper: How can you tell when a model is hallucinating? Let it cheat! An expert doesn't need to cheat, so if your model learns to cheat, there must be something it doesn't know. Our general new approach for measuring uncertainty: arxiv.org/abs/2402.08733
Reminder about the open machine learning faculty position at the University of Edinburgh. Closing date is one week from now (Jan 15th). elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
Calling all Machine Learning researchers on the academic job market for 2024. 📢📢📢 Applications are invited for a full time academic position in Machine Learning in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.
Last week, I presented my thesis at @GenBench #EMNLP2023 - the last step of my Masters journey at @EdinburghUni I feel honoured to have worked with @vernadankers and @iatitov! And I am proud to have received the Howe Prize for the best student in the AI Masters. Miss u Edinburgh
At @InfAtEd we are looking for the Director of our brand new center for #GenerativeAI #GAIL come chat at #NeurIPS2023 if you wanna know more aspenpeople.co.uk/microsite/uoe-…
I'm sure Gatsby don't really need the promotion, but it would be an excellent place to be ML faculty. (I did my PhD there; it's a great environment.)
🚨 Job alert! The Gatsby Unit invites applications for an open-rank faculty position in #MachineLearning. ℹ️ ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/vacanci… ⏰ Review begins 9 Jan 2024; apply by 8 Jan for full consideration 👋 Chat with @ArthurGretton, Maneesh Sahani or @SaxeLab at #NeurIPS2023
The University of Edinburgh is looking for someone to direct a new generative AI lab. It's a professor role, with lots of resources. More info: aspenpeople.co.uk/uoe-gail/ For earlier-career faculty jobs (and a communications role) see: ed.ac.uk/informatics/ab…
I got nerd-swiped by this nice multiple choice question by @yaroslavvb Explanations of the distractors are in a follow-up thread: twitter.com/yaroslavvb/sta…
Suppose you use SGD to minimize 0.5 E[(w*xi)^2] where your datapoints xi are distributed as standard normal -- what is the smallest learning rate that fails to converge?
Come join us in Edinburgh! This thread, from one of my fantastic colleagues, advertises our machine learning faculty position. (The photo is across the core atrium of our main research building, the Informatics Forum.)

Congratulations to @timudk! It's been a pleasure to regularly hear about his research over the last few years.
Congrats to Dr. Tim Dockhorn (@timudk) who defended his PhD thesis yesterday! Tim is a world expert in diffusion models (DMs), and is going on to work at @StabilityAI His work on privatizing DMs is an incredible leap forward (arxiv.org/abs/2210.09929). timudk.github.io
Does ChatGPT get this difficult case wrong too? Yes. If asked to be careful, or given hints, does ChatGPT give any indication that there's a problem? Usually not! However, careful prompting and follow-up discussion, or asking in Chinese can work: homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/imurray2/pub/2…
Machine translation mistake of the day? Eight systems all translate: 她每天都不吃早饭。 → She doesn't eat breakfast every day. The English implies she eats breakfast some (most?) days, just not every day. Whereas I _think_ the Chinese says she doesn't eat breakfast on any day.
