I'm concerned that my students haven't been getting the proper NeurIPS experience, since #NeurIPS2020 is online. Post a GIF that you think captures the authentic NeurIPS experience. ;) I'll start.
La Cloche Silhouette Trail complete: 78km(+) and 8 days. Made our 5 day Banff trip two years ago seem easy in comparison. Kaius (5) walked maybe 50%. Liepa (3) maybe 10%. Looking for a masseuse now with @KDziugaite.
Kids ate way more than we anticipated. We ended up one meal short and needed way more trail snacks. Still @KDziugaite and my packs started off at 16kg and 18kg on day 1!! Yikes. Then add on our son (~21kg) and daughter (~16kg). Carrying this weight was a lot of work.
Every morning and evening, Karolina and I had our roles to play. Filtering water, cooking, fires, packing, staking, redressing, etc. The kids entertained themselves for hours, mostly playing house in the forests. Here’s Liepa climbing around one of our campsites.
Nice ideas in here combining Catoni's single draw setting and the @shortstein@zakynthinou framework. I appreciate multiple cites to my group's recent work.
Our most recent paper extending Steinke--Zakynithinou is most relevant: arxiv.org/abs/2004.12983
Yes, we assume bounded loss, but subG bounds are trivial.
They also refer to our NeurIPS paper on data-dependent estimates:
Grappling with devastating news: my four-year old has Dunning-Kruger. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Happy to hear from other parents who could provide advice / tips.
E.g., he's gone skiing a few times, but now acts like he's an expert and barks commands about skiing at me.
Another upsetting example: he's got Magna tiles at home and won't let me build anything I want to build because I'm "doing it the wrong way" and he knows best.
