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. 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

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?

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.

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. Image

Information-theoretic generalization bounds go brrrrr....

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.

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.
