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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
Besides the kids, we had our Berner “Bacio” who started off carrying his own food and, as that disappeared, ended up carrying our trash. Here’s Kaius on my back south of Silver Peak. That’s Bacio on the left. Image
Liepa took naps on several afternoons. Here she is napping during a hike. Image
The Silhouette trail goes through phases with very different landscape. This is north of Silver Peak (I think) on an opposing ridge line. Image
Here’s a point earlier along that same ridge line, but looking more west. Kaius is riding with me. Image
Our favorite campsite was on night 4. We only had 6km that day (after a grueling 15km day) and so we actually had time to swim and relax. It was also a dry day. Epic sunrise.Image

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.

OK. Some NeurIPS conflict-of-interest (COI) questions for everyone. 1/n
Can an AC have a COI with a paper by Y proving X if they are in a race to prove X with authors Y?
What would you do if you suspect that an AC might have a COI with your work (of the type hinted at above)?

How’s attending ICML with kids?
Me: haven’t even registered yet, despite having three posters to present. Luckily I have excellent coauthors and my wife registered.
She was up at 5am presenting one of our posters. I was trying to get our 3 year old to fall back asleep.

Wow. I just stepped out of my own filter bubble by reading an article on Brussels Times. Check out the ads on a single page. 1/n.

Information-theoretic generalization bounds go brrrrr....
arxiv.org/abs/2005.08044

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. Image
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:

arxiv.org/abs/1911.02151

Until our new CMI-style bounds, these bounds were the tightest for Langevin by a large factor.

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.
