Replying to @mybmc
@mybmc No action taken on this blocked & broken drainage chamber on LJ Rd despite formal complaint, follow-ups. Please take immediate action. Serious health menace for residents. Local sewage not draining into municipal gutters ⇒ clogged sewage ⇒ rats, mosquitos, cockroaches...

@gambhir_sheetal can you help us take this forward?

We now have a simple, powerful, and stable alternative to Deep Nets A challenge in classical kernel models is choosing the 'right' kernel By examining NN training, we identified the modification necessary to empower kernels - FEATURE LEARNING #NeuralNetworkFreeSince2023
What is the nature of feature learning in deep networks? We propose that neural networks recover a statistic known as the average gradient outer product (AGOP). Github: github.com/aradha/recursive_… arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2212.13881

Rahul Parhi and I wrote a tutorial style article to explain modern theory of deep learning and neural function spaces via elementary signal/image processing concepts (Fourier transform, Radon transform, L1 regularization, sparsity) arxiv.org/abs/2301.09554

It's deeply depressing that the killer app of contemporary machine learning is bullshit generation.

Paul Dirac was named after the Dirac Equation actually.

This library of proximal operators is a life saver! proximity-operator.net/index…

`pip install proxop` ♥️
Companies promise customers data privacy. But they are (over)valued for the customer data they own, and can potentially sell. So they are either lying to customers or shareholders, or worse, both!! How can we get fair valuations of data that discount for promised privacy?
#Optimization folks help me out I have a preconditioned GD solver for min{x} F1(x) Now, I want to solve min{x} F1(x) + F2(x) and I have the prox_F2 operator Would the same F1 preconditioner work for a proximal gradient method? Will I always get same fixed points?

Like journals, can a conference like #NeurIPS2022 say "Sorry, we couldn't find reviewers, please resubmit elsewhere"?

sample rejection email "The PC appreciates your effort to write this paper. This year we had a record-breaking number of submissions. We regret to inform you that your manuscript could not be reviewed. Good luck with a resubmission."

Will there come a time when a PC puts the onus of getting enough bids on a paper on the authors themself?
This CUDA been useful for us @Amirhesam_A @nmallinar
I officially verify that the following people are really good at GPU programming (and have time to procrastinate)...

Is this inequality correct for all matrices, or just a high probability property of i.i.d. random matrices?

In 2022, why do conferences and journals continue to have a 2-column format? Equations are complicated, poor formatting makes it worse.
