"It's honestly quite a liberating concept because not only am I getting information about what's around me, but I'm actually getting the spatial information on where it is around me.” – Jason Fayre, CNIB via CTV News ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/micro…

Metalearned Neural Memory (arxiv.org/abs/1907.09720) got accepted at #NeurIPS2019! Here we have an agent with memory exploring the grid maze (left) and its top five memory recalls (right).

Remember: on Twitter you see the successes, but not the many attempts beforehand :) So among many teets about NeurIPS Conference #accepted papers (congrats!), with no shame I announce our paper was #rejected. And that will help improve it. Research means risk. All authors: keep it up!

Generalization in Reinforcement Learning with Selective Noise Injection and Information Bottleneck \w Maximilian Igl, Kamil Ciosek, yingzhen, Sebastian Tschiatschek, Cheng Zhang & Sam Devlin

Beautiful statement.

Congrats to the Montreal AI Symposium Montreal AI Symposium organizers for pulling together such a diverse program. Montreal with its rich research scene is a great to be. #MAIS2019

Disgusting, nonsensical, and totally divergent from what Canada is.

Sue has influenced so much of how we approach information access and search. Oh right she also co-invented latent semantic indexing. nbd.

My wonderful sister is an academic too! Her field seems to have funner tweets, though.

We’re hiring!
