Relatable ha ha!
The 5 stages of rebuttal grief. (1) Denial The reviewers totally misunderstood my paper. The review process is broken. R1 was clearly a student who has never reviewed before. R2 doesn’t know what they are talking about. R3 hates me.

It was my pleasure to give a talk at #SEAIS 2022 on Troubleshooting #DNNs using Explanations. SEAIS aims to bring together numerous experts from various user domains and disciplines to advance the linkage of SE, AI, and Security. SEAIS - formal-analysis.com/seais/20… #ExplainableAI

I successfully defended my Ph.D. Thesis yesterday (14th Feb 2022). Here is a recording of the thesis presentation. Thesis title - Explaining and Improving DNNs via Concept-based Explanations #explainableai #xai #deeplearning #dnns #nus #soc youtu.be/RqCbFlQCKco via @YouTube

In this thesis, I explore two approaches to generate descriptive and faithful concept-based explanations. In the first approach, I propose a post-hoc explanation method to generate faithful linguistic explanations.

Nicely explained!
I get a lot of reviews that say my work is not novel and I bet I'm not alone. It's always frustrating because I see novelty where the reviewer doesn't. Rather than rebut every critique, I've written a blog post to help reviewers think about novelty. perceiving-systems.blog/en/n…

Glad to contribute to the Speed Mentoring session as a mentor. Had a chance to talk to a set of passionate women there.

Would be very interesting. 👌
What can we learn from the decade of history of ImageNet? Are we done with ImageNet? What will be the future of ImageNet-based vision researches? We organize the workshop on ImageNet: past, present, and future for answering the questions! sites.google.com/view/imagen… Speakers: (1/N)
Pleasure is mine 😃
#WiML2021 would like to thank our volunteers and supervolunteers @mennatullahSiam @linylinx @MandyZong @Julythe17th @SharvVadgama @silviapaglia @liyue_shen @disha_shur @naitisb @wsanda89 @PriyaBannur @nicemakr and others for their amazing effort in putting the workshop together!

In this paper, we propose a novel framework that utilizes concept-based explanations for model decisions to automatically augment the train dataset with new images that cover under-represented regions to improve the model performance.
It's amazing to see how India is already using AI for the public good. Interesting talk by Vivek Raghavan @vivek_raghavan at #MLinIndia social at #NeurIPS2021

Interesting!
The ongoing consolidation in AI is incredible. Thread: ➡️ When I started ~decade ago vision, speech, natural language, reinforcement learning, etc. were completely separate; You couldn't read papers across areas - the approaches were completely different, often not even ML based.
My little contributions to the community are being recognized. I am recognized as one of the top 5 outstanding reviewers for #xai4debuggingworkshop @ #NeurIPS2021 Workshop website - xai4debugging.github.io/

Nice idea ☺️
A computer vision conference called VALSE just ended in Hangzhou, China. Though it is more like a national-wise seminar where all the presented papers are from recent online ICCV, ICML, AAAI, it feels like the vibes of how a conference should look like... not online ICCV again..
