It was a lot of fun to give a talk today at IndabaX - Democratic Republic of the Congo! Lots of great questions from the audience! Check out @IndabaxDrc and the whole network of @DeepIndaba conferences if you live in Africa and even if you don't! deeplearningindaba.com/2022/…

This is a pretty wild slide introducing my recent work with Michael Freedman and @glenweyl. If you are interested, check out Mike's whole talk! Mike leads Microsoft's quantum computing research (and won a Fields medal). Glen is a social scientist and the founder of @RadxChange.

Congratulations to Marky on this Chief Technologist position! If you want to work with him, here is your chance! Highly recommended! Marky is also a member of the @acalonia_x community and a former course participant.

Congratulations to @NeerajAithani, an @acalonia_x school contributor and former student, on winning a solo silver medal 🥈at the #Kaggle U.S. Patent Phrase to Phrase Matching machine-learning competition! Really cool!

If you'd like to join a live introductory lecture on Python over Zoom, please submit this simple form: form.typeform.com/to/cR9FEvp… The lecture is by Flore Castellan and Akshat Nayak, brilliant @acalonia_x students. 1 hour starting 10:45 am UTC (7:45 pm Japan Time) on Thu, June 16.

Congratulations to Marky, a student/contributor at the @acalonia_x school, for getting into this data science program at MIT! He's doing some really important work!

Check out this interesting work on Neural Collages, a new way representing data that exhibits self-similarity! The team includes my former student Stefano Massaroli (@Massastrello) of the University of Tokyo.

I was happy to learn that an @acalonia_x student will start her work as a biostatistician at a large pharmaceutical company that helped to fight the covid pandemic. I hope the proportion of @acalonia_x students with an interest in life sciences will keep growing.

I'm starting a PhD-level 6-month statistics course series. Free of tuition! If you do well and want to get into a quantitative science graduate program, I'll match you with professors seeking remote RAs. They can write recommendations for you. @acalonia_x +ML community groups

Super kind words from an exceptional machine-learning community builder and engineer! 🙏

Adam's (@AMontgomerie_ ) blog post on his Kaggle journey is now also recommended by the founder/CEO of Kaggle! How cool! Adam learned a lot about machine learning at @TokyoDS/@acalonia_x and will give a talk there about his Kaggle experience. DM me if you'd like to join the talk

Big congrats to Adam on becoming a Kaggle Competitions Master after winning a gold medal 🥇 in the machine-learning competition Jigsaw Rate Severity of Toxic Comments! Adam studied at @TokyoDS / @acalonia_x and I must say he's just brilliant. See his blog post below.

My past students got to PhD programs at Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Columbia, or UTokyo. You may plan to apply to PhD or master's programs or for postdocs where statistics is relevant, such as CS, ML/AI, biology, or economics. Here is how I and @acalonia_x can support you. (1/3)

I just learned my student/TA/RA got admitted to MIT's PhD program. This gave me an idea of how @acalonia_x will support grad school applicants across disciplines: It will run free live online statistics courses and help top performers join top grad schools. DM me if interested

Everyone interested is welcome to join these lectures I'll give @__MLT__: "A rigorous introduction to probability theory". If you want to join but can't because of your time zone, DM me. It may be possible to run these lectures also at times convenient, say, for the Americas.

If you'd like to join a talk on “Designing a Machine Learning System for Enterprise” by Jürgen Stary, please DM me for a Zoom link. Jürgen is a @TokyoDS / @acalonia_x alumnus and works as an ML engineering manager/architect. It's 60 min on Wed, Dec 15 from 10 am UTC / 7 pm JST
