If you are looking for an exciting PhD in a dynamic and vibrant city (Montreal), drop me an email with your CV and cover letter. Two positions opened: 1) uncertainty in large-foundation models for medical image analysis and 2) few-shot continual learning in multi-modal learning.

In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18

Virtually every ML paper is a method comparison, where the authors almost always have a "horse in the race". This is bad for science. We need to diversify and embrace empirical studies that are not incentivized to push a particular narrative or make a specific method look good.

Excited to see @bayesianhealth on @Forbes AI 50! It’s been quite the year in AI with 100s/1000s of new ventures focusing in the space. Great to see other amazing peers and friends also recognized!

I know academics tend to complain about teaching and grant writing. But, I can’t imagine better incentives for organizing one’s thoughts and learning new material.
