"AI ethics professor" isn't a real thing.

Ethics isn't even the kind of thing you can be an expert in; anybody calling themselves an ethics expert has declared themselves the arbiter of right and wrong.

Haha, I'm using PyG for my MASc thesis at the moment. Maybe scope it out a bit; the PyG slack channel is very active and super helpful.

I would actually recommend Cython over C types, it's nicer especially when it comes to handling numpy arrays.

AI is a technology so powerful that countries that ‘pause’ it will be at a disadvantage quickly. Not likely to happen.

A driver’s license to use it? A pretty vague suggestion if you ask me. How would that work exactly?

That's the dumbest take I've ever heard

This prof probably thinks the war on drugs has been successful

I once reviewed a cvpr submission that had overwhelmingly positive scores before rebuttal, and overwhelmingly negative after. Sometimes it's best to not do rebuttal at all lol

Wow that is impressive. I skimmed through their paper and did not really understand how they implemented it. Nonetheless, it would be cool to try and implement it myself.

oh my mistake

the rest of it stands though

It's a shame, even I can't attend. Why do they even have conferences in Canada. It's like Canada don't like ze money from conferences.

I work with data of similar size and I use random crops during training and a sliding window for prediction. For example you could train to segment 128x128-sized crops of the input images, then put the predictions together to segment the image at full resolution and keep your 200 classes probably. But tbh 200 sounds a bit excessive anyway

Not too bad, check the python C types API

Are the reviews public? If so, where can I see them? (I didn’t submit anything just curious to look through some reviews)

I still cannot believe that getting a Canadian visa is harder than the US visa

I'm using it on my masters thesis atm. Having problems because of a deprecated feature without replacement (g sampling)

nice rebuttal!

Now I just need to hope that my Canadian visa doesn't actually take 209 days to process...

Honestly needing a visa to attend conferences is a big disadvantage - networking at conferences leads to future employment and research opportunities, and can have a huge impact on the career of early-stage researchers.

Cool work! You might also enjoy tapenade (tapenade.inria.fr:8080) which takes a C file and then produces a new C source file with the derivative program. It's useful when you want compiled derivatives. I use this a lot for optimization problems; never tried it for NNs, though.

Had same original scores, but after rebuttal it became three rejects lol

Got my paper accepted!! Original scores: 1 weak accept, 1 borderline and 1 weak reject. After rebuttal, got 3 weak accepts.

Nobody can just answer this question.

Predict a set of data using the pre trained model. Then, predict the same set of data, manually by a human.

Compare the results. How accurate was the model compared to a human?

No, I don't, because even if chatGPT could answer my question correctly, that doesn't mean that another assistant could.

Therefore, when I come up with a question that, from my point of view could be challenging to answer by a virtual assistant, and regardless of whether I have searched Google/Reddit/StackOverflow/ChatGPT/... for the answer, I end up typing it on OpenAssistant, (again, just my question).

Not exactly. In batch RL the data they train on are real (state, action, next state, reward) tuples from real agents interacting with real environments.

They improve the policy offline. In RLHF there actually is no env. And the policy is just standard LLM decoding.
