🍇 GRAPES: At Tuesday's ELLIS Unconference poster session.
We study adaptive graph sampling for scaling GNNs!
Work with @TYounesian, @danieldazac, @ThiviyanSingam, @pbloemesquire

If you want to reduce the size of your graph while still maintaining an accurate GNN, which nodes should you select? Which nodes are influential in a graph?
Check out our TMLR paper, GRAPES, to get your answer:

SHAP, LIME, PFI, ... you can interpret ML models with many different methods.
It's all fun and games until two methods disagree.
What if LIME says X1 has a positive contribution, SHAP says negative?
A thread about the disagreement problem, and how to approach it:

*Present Failures*
❌ "It doesn't work."
✅ "Here is HOW it fails. I feed X but somehow did not get Y. I believe the core issues lie in steps Z and W. I have ruled out W as the cause. Next, I will design experiments to isolate the step Z."

I want to talk about burnout. A brief 🧵...
I was well aware I was burnt out in the fall, but it's hard to fully appreciate the impact of burnout in the moment.
After 2 weeks of vacation and a month of aggressively blocking daily focus time, the impact has become more clear:

How to make steady progress in my research?
I worked so damn hard but "IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!"😤
How can I unblock myself quickly and make good progress toward the goals?
Below I compiled a list of tips that I found useful. 👇

#MLSS2020 will be held virtually this year (28 June - 10 July 2020). Our organizers are hard at work to bring forth an exciting edition. Talks will be live-streamed publically🥳, schedule out soon!
