Proposals for workshops, tutorials, and competitions to be held in conjunction with @GeccoConf are due November 6, AoE.
That is tomorrow already🤪🙂🍀
Ahem.... perhaps, the recommender system needs a prod in the right direction? Possibly, another one for the EC Bestiary: github.com/fcampelo/EC-Besti….

Remote work is not a distraction. It's a chance to concentrate.
Government workers were 28% more productive on days when supervisors assigned them tasks to do at home, because they were more focused.
The office is good for interaction, but it's not always ideal for deep work.

I have some projects in the current round of CSC #PhD scholarships at @UniofExeter - more information is available here if you're interested: exeter.ac.uk/study/pg-resear…. All broadly to do with optimisation, human-in-the-loop methods, explainability, and digital twins.

Does anybody know of any papers which studies something along the lines of where salt Marsh are most likely to exist / thrive / be suitable for restoration ?
Please retweet if you can, would be super helpful😃👍🏻

Who says marking exams must be boring? One could play around with sorting algorithms to find the fastest way to organise them. I typically use insertion sort, and the following thread seem to support this.

Pleased to announce our latest work on Bayesian Comparative Judgement, where we show how to estimate predictive uncertainty in the derived ranks for a range of objects, using pairwise comparisons, and select the best pair to evaluate next: doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2024…
New paper: “A Bayesian active learning approach to comparative judgement within education assessment” doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2024… led by @codingWithAndy, our @CompFoundry EPSRC-funded PhD student with @AlmaRahat @Slindsbob #openaccess @Els_SocialScien
