Our NeurIPS paper is now available in preprint here arxiv.org/abs/2310.18937 We're interested in exploring different types of contrastive explanation, and show counterfactuals are not always the more useful option. #NeurIPS2023 #XAI #MachineLearning

'The utility of "even if..." semifactual explanation to optimize positive outcomes' Happy to post the presentation for our NeurIPS paper :recorder-v3.slideslive.com/?share=86709&s… Please share to those interested in #causal #explainability and #algorithmic #recourse in #ethicalML and #XAI. 😀🎉

Humans use abstractions for data-efficient learning. We wish for neural networks to do the same. In our proposed human-in-the-loop framework, we automatically generate a spectrum of abstractions and allow users to deploy task-appropriate ones. To appear at #NeurIPS2023! [1/n]

As always, awesome collaborating with Mycal Tucker Eoin Kenny Noga Zaslavsky Pulkit Agrawal Julie Shah!

We had fun and passionate discussion today at the XAI meetup @NeurIPS2023. A lot of new/old faces in the field. Don't forget to follow each other for future meetups/possible collaboration 🙌🙌🙌

Giving a talk later today in the Business Analytics Seminar at University of Amsterdam, Business School on our recent #XAI work UvA Amsterdam UvA Amsterdam Business School University College Dublin UCD Computer Science Ruth MJ Byrne Greta Warren Eoin Delaney Eoin Kenny @saugat_aryl Xinyue Dai Insight Research Ireland Centre

turns out the project I built to learn proximal policy optimization was used in a notable ICLR 2023 paper on RL interpretability thank you for the honor Eoin Kenny, Mycal Tucker, and Julie Shah!

This new DeepSeek LLM has totally changed everything, why pay OpenAI massive prices for a slow GPT-4o when a comparably free version exists that is even better and open source? Perhaps academia can now finally enter the AI arms race.

China shows you don't need to spend 800 million to train a model and this happens.

I have 8 papers to review for ICML, I'm sincerely sorry to those authors I might review, I will try to do my best but 2 papers a week along with everything in my personal and professional life will be hard to do well.

Responding to reviewers at ICML has become an exercise in how to do a rebuttal against an LLM looking for nonsense critiques. "Oh the paper only evaluated on 10 datasets, I reject everything with < 100", good bye and good luck human!
