I'm happy to announce major changes to Tokyo Data Science @TokyoDS: (1) Fair Play Tuition makes it affordable to *anyone* acalonia.com/fair-play (2) You can join even for a course or two (3) Name changed to Acalonia @acalonia_x since it's global Pls retweet for visibility🙏
At the Acalonia school, you can: (1) upgrade your knowledge or (2) start from the beginning and (3) pay tuition only if/when you are convinced that the education was worth it or (4) get a scholarship if you qualify. Data Science, Machine Learning, and Stats are good to know.

Thanks to the JAX/Flax community week, I had a chance to fine-tune a CLIP model on a radiology dataset (ROCO) on cloud TPU-v3-8. It was a quite fun learning experience. ☞Github repo: github.com/Kaushalya/medclip ☞@streamlit demo on @huggingface 🤗 Spaces: huggingface.co/spaces/kausha…

When we get a new idea, our impulse is to look for signs that could validate it. But the most effective way to make real progress is to look for the simplest way to prove your idea wrong.

Clean Pytorch implementations of ML techniques with explanations next to the code. This is a format that makes understanding papers way easier. @__MLT__

Woke up to a rejection letter which sucked. But at least I got to add a sticker to the page.

I passed this image through a pretrained ResNet 101 with @pytorch and it predicts: Tiger shark 23% Hammerhead 21% Great white shark 16% Gar, garfish 11% Sturgeon 3% My conclusion : shape > [ texture + mountain context] => reassuring in some way. (Image from @SolTight)

Sacred is quite useful for quick experimental results analysis (even without integrating Omniboard while using FileStorageObserver). And it took ~< one hour to learn and setup as well. 😇
While Tensorboard is a great tool backed by the community behind @TensorFlow, lately I've been using an alternative to log my experiments that consists of two tools: Sacred and Omniboard. In this thread I'll share what I love about them and maybe convince you to try it out!
great questions indeed! you two are goals 😍

I don't mind electronic gadgets, but I draw the line at connected ones. Those tend to have more power over you than you have over them

This was exactly my confusion back then 🙄. How can someone memorize all those sophisticated words?!
Many schools have dropped (or made optional) the GRE requirement -- a step in the right direction. btw GRE is optional at @UofTCompSci as well! It is an undue burden for non-native speakers to memorize words far too recondite for prosaic usage!

If you're not happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship. Happiness comes from buying new stationery.

Most useful tip for doing presentations over Zoom. Share only a portion of the screen. Rest of the screen can be used for anything - timer, speaker notes etc. youtube.com/watch?v=gx1Ysf_e…
