Excited to be presenting our paper “Seq2Event: learning the language of soccer using transformer-based match event prediction” (available: eprints.soton.ac.uk/458099/ ) at #KDD2022 @ryanbeal95 @proftjn @kdd_news
Keynote: “My Enemy’s Enemy is my Friend: How Statisticians and Machine Learners Should Work Together to Build a Better World” by @MihaelaVDS. A solid reflection on how the two fields should be used together to better solve real world problems. #RSS2023Conf @RSSAnnualConf – at Harrogate, England
Also, intrigued by her lab’s current work on Casual Deep Learning, attempting to go beyond association in ML. @MihaelaVDS #RSS2023Conf @RSSAnnualConf – at Harrogate, England
Delighted to be settling in to the Royal Statistical Society international conference 2023 in Harrogate. Great location, great talks so far! @RSSAnnualConf #RSS2023conf – at Harrogate, England

Like, I don’t want to ruin the joke by explaining it but the reason this ended up so good and funny is that everyone played along with my goofiness and was in on the joke from the beginning

Been thinking about @visakanv's "good reply game", aka the idea that good-faith conversation on the internet relies on making OP look good by playing along with them instead of arguing, like in improv, and honestly this makes so much sense about what good communities get right.

30 years ago: Transformers with linearized self-attention in NECO 1992, equivalent to fast weight programmers (apart from normalization), separating storage and control. Key/value was called FROM/TO. The attention terminology was introduced at ICANN 1993 sferics.idsia.ch/pub/juergen…

Hey Neptune. Did you ring? 👋
Webb’s latest image is the clearest look at Neptune's rings in 30+ years, and our first time seeing them in infrared light. Take in Webb's ghostly, ethereal views of the planet and its dust bands, rings and moons: go.nasa.gov/3RXxoGq #IAC2022
ALT In this Webb image, Neptune resembles a pearl with rings that look like ethereal concentric ovals around it. There are 2 thinner, crisper rings and 2 broader, fainter rings. A few extremely bright patches on the lower half of Neptune represent methane ice clouds. Six tiny white dots, which are six of Neptune’s 14 moons, are scattered among the rings. The background of the image is black.

We are greatly saddened by the news today of the death of Her Majesty the Queen.
The University flag will be flown at half-mast as a mark of our respect during the period of formal national mourning.
