Independence from “95%”
“That’s not to say that you can’t learn from data; I’m not saying that at all. You can learn a lot from data. But forget about 95%. Just do your best, live your life, and be open about your uncertainties. You might get run over by a bus tomorrow anyway.”
Post Edited: On this 4th of July, let’s declare independence from “95%” https://t.co/S4i4WkphiP

Adversarial Reprogramming of NN
Welp, using adversarial examples to force neural networks to do free computation for you is definitely the most cyberpunk thing I’ve read this week so far. https://t.co/ziP4ZdKxjw pic.twitter.com/kcTZV6eKdl

The one thing I found most fascinating reading this blog post is this: there were 6 people working on visualizations. Six, designers and web developers, on visualizations - at least this is my understanding. They are arguably extremely nicely done visuals indeed. https://t.co/3bJwwrhlVB

Just had time to catch up on the DeepMind CTF (https://t.co/OBGtibIBRP) post/paper. I don’t know what to say. This is a whole new level of production quality with these visualizations and videos. When do we start getting full-length theater style movies with research papers?

Visualization
Here's a good way to visualize factorial growth: imagine a cell that divides in 2, each child cell will then divide in 3, each grandchild cell will divide in 4 and and so on. pic.twitter.com/HQ0L1SrNWc

Value-suppressing Uncertainty Palette
(Election Polling)
I think election polling is for now the ideal application case for a value-suppressing uncertainty palette. @lenkiefer @jeffrey_heer pic.twitter.com/vyEZT19aHO
