Very happy to have been able to speak at the first MLiS colloquim last week.
We hope you enjoyed our first colloquium! Big thanks to our speakers @OpticsSteve and @CarolWebsterCS and to our organisers. Watch this space for more events.

Human insight remains essential to beat the bias of algorithms
Better data can improve AI’s ability to spot correlations but will not ensure fairness - via Financial Times:

Good to see that NeurIPS is placing a stronger focus on ethics in AI.
Sweet because: These are signs that NeurIPS is maturing. @_KarenHao wrote an article about the community growing up: technologyreview.com/s/61493… We’re getting better at diversity/inclusion and taking responsibility for our actions, though there’s still room to grow.
Had a fun time delivering this @Ri_Science masterclass on maths and computing using Smarties!
Probabilities explained with smarties @Ri_Science masterclass by our @CarolWebsterCS 👏
Enjoyed the "Postdocs to Innovators" event in Cambridge last week, organised by @p2i_network. A good way to learn about business models and the different types of funding available for commercialising research.

Some highlights from the @visNET_ Collaboration Event!
We recently attended the @visNET_ collaboration event and met some of Scotland's most talented post-doctoral researchers as they networked. #STEM #WomenInSTEM #networking #collaboration #collaborativescience

Looking forward to next week's collaboration event.
@CarolWebsterCS is interested in using convolutional neural networks to classify images, particularly from medical devices. At the moment she is using them to determine whether microscope images are in/out of focus.
Join Carol at our #collaboration Event

Over the last few weeks I've been reading The Batch, a new newsletter from @deeplearningai_. Lots of interesting articles, including one this week on the relative popularity of PyTorch and TensorFlow in research/industry.
In this week's Batch, we've got TensorFlow vs. PyTorch, autonomous drone races, and NLP for rare languages. Read this week's issue: hubs.ly/H0lh-pN0

Today is #AdaLovelaceDay, which celebrates the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths. Follow our thread to uncover the stories of some of the most influential women in British science history...
Just been to a great talk for #AdaLovelaceDay19 by Sharon Moore, IBM's CTO for Public Sector UK. She offered the following words of wisdom: "Courage, not confidence!" We may not always feel confident, but if we have the courage to try something new we will make progress.

Better understanding diversity and inclusion in AI is just one aspect of ensuring we're building a technology that works for everyone, but it's a crucial part.
Proud to support a @PartnershipAI fellowship to further research and promote diversity and inclusion in the field.
The #AI field continues to suffer from a severe lack of ethnic, gender, & cultural diversity. To explore these pervasive challenges, @DeepMindAI today gifted £250K to the Partnership on AI to support the establishment of a fellowship focused on this task: partnershiponai.org/why-were…
Busy week learning Java and C# from the excellent books Think Java and Think Sharp. 6 days of Java followed by 1 day of C#. Phew!
